    <div align='left'><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Miles and miles of perfect white sandy beaches. Disney World. Humidity that would curl your toenails. Snakes in the swimming pool. Summer thunderstorms that would put the Kodo Drummers to shame. Living in Florida has its advantages—some might say “quirks”—but nothing can compare to the opportunity to attend the Pepsi Pro Summer League at the Magic’s training facility in Orlando. So when the Nets graciously offered me a press pass for their game Friday against Indiana (thanks Suss!) I jumped all over it.</div>

    haha I love how your game pass has Dumpy on it; great read!

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I then approached N.Y. Post beat writer Fred Kerber, and shyly introduced myself. “Fred? I’m ___, from NetsDaily,” I said, using my real name. “Dumpy!” he practically shouted. “Al [Iannazzone] will be so jealous that I got to meet you!” Fred was kind enough to allow me to join him for a bite to eat during the break, during which he filled me in on what Kiki was doing: The Nets were about to sign Jarvis Hayes. In return, I explained why I use the handle “Dumpy.” You’ll have to ask him that one.</div>

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] hahaha that's crazyawesome.

    Wait, Dumpy, you knew about Hayes before everyone else?

    did I read this right, you're in your 20's?
    for some reason I was always under the impression that you were an older gentleman (in early to mid 30's )

    This is why we at NetsDaily are thrilled whenever the Dumpster can take time away from Mrs. Dumpy and the kids, brew up a cup of coffee and hit the laptop running.

    Congratulations and thanks.

    Dumpy is only in his 20's! No way, he's like 45.
