A new site called Bullets Fever brought this to my attention a few nights back, but I was just reminded of it when stopping by Wizznutzz for my regular checkup: Agent Zero is keeping a blog on NBA.com during this season, which he has dubbed “The Takeover.” Here’s but one snippet from this miracle of a web page, a post titled ‘How I Got That Maybach 57′:
“It was LeBron’s guy in Cleveland. These guys, Larry Hughes, Damon Jones, Donyell Marshall, they got me to this guy. I seen their car and I asked about it, you know, just to ask. They was like, “You know, the guy, he can give you a heck of a deal.” So I called the guy and we had a little brief conversation and he said, “I have a 1-of-1.” And I was like, “Wow. All right, I’ll take it.”
Brilliant. So brilliant, in fact, that it forced Wizznutzz to share many ”incites” and even create a terrific movie poster of sorts…
My favorite bit of the Wizznutzz post (aside from that poster), which you need to read if you feel like laughing your ass off, is this:
“Our lives changed forever when we fell in love with Gilbert Arenas and we fall harder than Wes Unseld in a Jet Blue toilet and we decide to devote rest of our days to promoting and spreading the gospel of all things AGENT ZERO.”
For a good time, go to YouTube and search for Charlotte Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace. What you find right off is Wallace palming a blocked shot. And then Wallace dunking over some poor guy. Hey, Wallace rejects Shaq! There are even a handful of fan-produced Wallace mix clips, my favorite of which is soundtracked to great effect by Tupac and Elton John…
Anyway, after catching up on Wallace’s highlights, reading his file and polling some top NBA bloggers, Inside the Parker and I were ready to conduct the SBL interview. It was much fun asking him about practicing with Jordan, mocking Morrison’s mustache, filling up the fantasy stat sheet, chugging Gatorade and more. He sounded almost as amused by us as we were by ourselves. Almost. And many thanks to The Basketball Jones, Free Darko, True Hoop, The Big Lead and Slam Online for contributing questions. Especially Free Darko, who now owes us his firstborn.
Bonus: SBL is giving away two copies of NBA Live ‘07, good for any platform, on our next show, Monday the 30th. If you’d like in on the random giveaway, email me at dcsportsguy@aol.com with ‘NBA Live ‘07′ in the subject line.

Well, from all accounts on the ground, looks like we might get ourselves a little bit of baseball tonight. We are dried off, showered, rested and ready for Game 4, in which the Cardinals could throttle the Series around the neck level, or the Tigers could tie it up and make for a rather insanely stressful Game 5 … whenever the heck that game happens. (Supposed to rain like crazy tomorrow.)
But enough talk of rain! There is, alas, baseball tonight. So pop open that bottle of wine, kick your feet back, get your typing fingers ready and follow along in the comments. It’s Jeff Suppan vs. Stem Cells … er, Jeremy Bonderman. Game on!

A legitimate question: Is this World Series ever going to end? We’re not saying that we find it boring, because we (obviously) don’t. It’s just that the weather is bad bad bad; biblical bad, worse than last night’s rainout. The forecast says a 50 percent chance of rain around game time, with increasing chance as the night goes on.
That is to say: This World Series is never going to end. If the game is rained out again tonight, we’ve got a nightmare scenario. Last night’s rainout burned through the travel day, and if there’s a rainout tonight, they’ve burned through a Detroit day. Oh, and it’s supposed to rain like crazy in St. Louis tomorrow too. We’re looking at the possibility of three consecutive rainouts in the World Series, which hasn’t had one in 10 years. That would push everything back two more days … and we haven’t even started talking about the weather in Detroit yet (chance of rain over the weekend and early next week, if you’re curious).
And we’ve still only played three games. We are not envious of those Busch Stadium fans who, like us last night, will be sitting out in the cold rain tonight waiting for Bud Selig to stop dithering and make a decision on what’s happening. It’ll be November until this series ends, we can just sense it.
If there’s a game tonight, we’ll pop up a game thread, because the conversation during these games are as entertaining as anything we have on this site. But we’re less than optimistic. It could be worse: The Rockies could have made the World Series.
