This Just In- The NBA Makes A Rule That Almost Makes Pro Basketball Nearly Wacthable


The NBA has banned tights.
Thank you Jesus for getting (albeit just once) into the head of David Stern.
Those things look freaking ridiculous and this from a cyclist who wears, well- you’ve seen us.
Now if they can just ban players with absolutely NO fundamental skills then they just might be making some progress.

Yeeeeeesh. Hideous. Call me old fashioned, but I don't care for men in tights.
 
I'd like to see them ban all the underhanded, sneaky embellishments they give the sport on television. I've been to a pro basketball game a few times, and was struck by how boring it is -- that's because the television coverage is sweetened by fake crowd sounds, randomly flashing lights hanging over the court, and contact mics on the floor to get those squeaking shoes and ball thuds.
