Spurs Dynasty?

Does anyone else have a problem with the media referring to the Spurs as a dynasty? I know winning 4 titles in the past 9 years is impressive, but a dynasty….come on. How can you have a team (L.A. Lakers) win 3 consecutive titles during your so called "dynasty", when you can’t even win back to back titles. To me the media is using the term* way too loosely. I know with free agency it is a lot harder to duplicate the Celtics of the 60’s, 11 titles in 13 years, but I mean the Bulls of the 90’s won 6 in 8 years**. Also consider that only 7 teams have won a championship over the last 24 years, and the fact the spurs have 4 during that time span is even less impressive. Over those 24 years here is how the champions have broken down: Bulls – 6, Lakers – 6, Spurs – 4, Pistons – 3, Rockets – 2, Celtics – 2, Heat – 1, Pacers - 0. In conclusion the Spurs are having a good run, but they need to at least win this year and next year to even start to deserve dynasty talk.

*We might as well call Klein “finishing” the Chicago marathon the last two years a dynasty, because he didn’t come in last.
**The Bulls probably would have won it 8 straight years if it wasn’t for MJ “trying” to play baseball.

JFC's Twin??

So as you may or may not know I am in Atlanta* for the summer. The cheapest place I could find just happened to be the Pike house at Georgia Tech. It is going to cost me less then a grand for the whole summer which I consider a deal, even if the place smells like beer and piss**.

Anyways Monday there was a house meeting where their president of Home Association addressed us and laid down the ground rules. They were acutally similar to ours no beer bottles on the first floor, because glass can be a lawsuit or something, keep the house clean, don't smash things etc. Then he dropped this quote, which almost killed me, "Back when I was hear we partied harder then you guys, drank more then you guys, got more pussy then you guys, and still kept the house cleaner!" Unfortunately, to my dismay, he did not talk about winning 4 Smythe's from the years 1983-1985, because then I really would have lost it.

I guess all Pike houses are the same....

*Pat told me I should ask people why they call it Hotlanta, and then after their response say, "Oh I thought it was because Sherman burned it to the ground." I know I should not say this but sadly drunk Tom will find it wildly funny and prob. get hit for it.
** Luckily it is the same two smells that dominate our house.

Breaking News!

The Sharpe Chronicle is reporting that new video footage has surfaced in regards Marvin Harrison's alleged involvement with a Philadelphia shooting. The tape in question shows Harrison finishing a friendly game of touch football directly before the incident in question had occurred. There is no information as to why the non-competitive game was filmed and the only information, in regards to the identity of the good Samaritan, is this photo. No word on whether the sunglasses were to keep others from recognizing the peeping Tom/Bill or whether they are due to the constant sunlight in Philadelphia.
