Hard To Believe, Harry: Quickie Round-Up

> 219 - Jamie Moyer's career win total... 185 after age 30. (Hat tip to the World Wide Lemur's John Caple.)

> "We're going to redevelop the culture here. I'm looking forward to getting back to those days... We need the players to buy into an all-of-the-time, everyday routine." - Miami Heat coach Pat Riley

So, you're cutting Shaq? And resigning, since you also took a good chunk of the season off, too?

> The Southeast Division (Magic, Heat, Wiz) went 0-12 in the playoffs.

And you thought the Atlantic was the terrible division. They are .500, baby!

> The New York Rangers are practicing for a parade. Seriously.

I was walking to Penn Station, which is in the same building as Madison Square Garden, around 5:20 last night. Coming up 8th Avenue was three double-decker buses filled with either New York Rangers, Rangers fans, or just a bunch of drunks in Ranger jerseys.

They chanted, sang songs, and generally whooped it up... as the rest of the world looked on in confusion or apathy. I think they'd have gotten more of a rise from the crowd if they were dressed as furries. (Warning: Link not safe for your brain.)

> Actual Reuters headline: Yogi Berra teaches life's lessons

There are no words.

> Denver coach George Karl on former starting guard J.R. Smith. "He's done... (On taking a 26-footer with 27 seconds left and Denver down 4) I have no idea what planet that came from... And then of course the one with 8 seconds to go from 50 feet. I just love that. I love the dignity of the game being insulted."

FTT applauds men like Furious George, who care so much about the dignity of the game that they throw their non-star players under the bus. But in a Dignified way.

How about just saying that the Spurs are really good, and that Smith has some things to learn?

George, we have a follow-up... if he's such a head case, you relentless pile of ego, why did you have him on the floor / team at all?

Enjoy the golf course, you clown.
