I really have very little reason to put this picture up on SwaggerTooth, I just really like it. I feel like David is in there somewhere; I haven’t figured out which powerful politician he is yet.

Here is ma boi Christopher Hitchens with his two cents on the Henry Louis Gates incident. I like his phrase “constitutional castle”. (I’ve yet to pick up his book God is Not Great. Sounds like a page-turner.)

Finally my real reason for this post. I hope it’s not too late to get everyone’s opinion on this. You have until 9:00 PM Tuesday July 28th to vote. Trivia starts at 8:00, and I’m guessing the showdown will take place during Professor Jim’s grading break.  Now I’m not trying to influence the voting, but the win-loss record is clearly stated after the combatants’ names.  Exercise your right to democracy wisely. I know who I’m voting for.

That being said, I think it will happen.  IF it is true that Kevin Garnett will miss the entire playoffs due to the bum knee (which I actually don’t think is true), then you can write Boston out in the 2nd round, losing to Orlando.  After that, the Fighting LeBrons should take out Orlando, with the embarrassment of the April 3rd beatdown serving as extra motivation.

In the West, it will be the Lakers.  Period.  The only team I will allow any chance is San Antonio, simply because of their every-other-year theory (right, David?).

In other basketball news: It is being reported that new FIU head basketball coach Isaiah Thomas will be working fo’ free this year by way of “donating” his first year’s salary to the school’s athletic department.  HAHA.  So how do you go from having a “job” that pays you millions of dollars to literally do nothing to a job where you actually work, but don’t get paid? Welcome Isaiah Thompson:

John Madden officially announced his retirement from the broadcasting today.  All of us here at SwaggerTooth were huge fans of the legendary football icon, which actually put us in the minority for our age demographic.  A common complaint from many young folk was the inability to tolerate the Hall-of-Famer’s sometimes obvious and often blunt observations of the game.  The BrainTrust had no problem with any of that.  We love John Madden and watching/listening to football games will not be the same without him.  We wish him the best of luck in retirement.

PS: We will be noting everyone’s vote and prizes will be given out to the winning voters.  (And by winning, we mean whoever sees the field first, NOT who received the most votes here on the SwaggerTooth.com poll).  The prize is tentatively set to be a fresh, new SwaggerTooth t-shirt.

“Technology and I are usually strange bedfellows, but as it is that time moves along and technologies develop, I’ve come to accept the fact that evolution and adaptation aren’t all that bad”

However, for some reason he still does not get along with mobile phone technology aka “cell phones.” So this opens up the door for the very first SwaggerTooth poll:
