While the sinners sin, the children play

Well, the NBA draft is happening tonight. A friend of mine at the paper I work for is in MSG covering it. I had suggested to him blogging from the draft, which would have been freaking awesome. Unfortunately the suits at the NBA got wind of it and put the kibosh on that (live blog that is). He is still making some posts, just not during the actual telecast, check it out at the www.dailylocal.com sports tab, plus then you can see the amazing graphic I made. Not gonna post the link, unfortunately, because the fainting goats probably shouldn't show up on the tracking logs at work.

But anyway, I'm going to do a shitty liveblog, purely out of spite. Fuck you NBA. If you want to see a much better liveblog, check out Bethlehem Shoals over at Deadspin.

Here we go:

They just interviewed Joakim Noah and his suit does not disappoint. I'm pretty sure he just got Jeff Daniels tux from Dumb and Dumber modified fit him bleached. That is the greatest thing I have seen this week. Pic is likely coming. Here it is, with bonus Stu Scott action!

The blazers pick Oden, because THAT'S WHAT THEY HAD TO DO /SAS
He was putting on hand sanitizer so as to not get commissioner Stern sick. Just an outstanding human being.

Wow, they just announced the Celtics are trading for Ray Allen, just giving up the fifth pick, Delonte West and Wally Szerbiak. The Sports Guy's head just exploded.

Durant goes 2, no surprise there. So the sonics will have Jeff Green and Kevin Durant to go with Shard. Not too shabby.

And with the third pick the Hawks take Al Horford. The 47th year in a row Atlanta has taken a forward with their first pick.

Memphis is on the clock. My gut and the leaked info from ESPN says they take Mike Conley Jr. 100% correct. AND we have the obligatory interview with Mike Conley Sr.

Alright this is fucking lame. I hate doing this liveblog shit. I've made my point so that's it for now. Clearly the NBA has learned its lesson? I may post something later, like after the sixers pick. PEACE

And two hours later I'm back. The sixers drafted THADDEUS Young and Daequan Cook, but supposedly Cook is getting traded for some white big guy (Jason Smith).

But the real point I want to make here is the international incident in the making that is Yi Jianlian getting drafted by Milwaukee. How many more of our pets will be poisoned by imported dog food before Yi can go to a city that doesn't suck?

Also the Phillies are in the bottom of the 10th and rain is pouring down. Chris Wheeler is personally offended by the puddles in the infield. BUT Jroll just hit a gapper with two men on to end it. FA REAL.

Now lets see who the sixers take with their third first round pick. Until that happens, I'm going to look for a good video to cap this off with.

Petteri Koponen! Finns forever.

And to cap it off, here's the dramatic groundhog Kill Bill remix.
