    I'm usually not up this early, and I'm thinking of having a beer so I can sleep off these lousy caffeine chocolates I bought at Costco, but this war every morning between Mediocre Man and his fans is pretty funny.

    I'll have to rearrange my sleep schedule so I can catch more of it. Do not buy Dilettante Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans.

    You are sticking by the point that you, mediocre man, feel that the writer of the article had no idea what he was talking about because he didn't put Damian as "anything but" the best PG in the league?

    That is actually your opinion? And that the website is just a "rag" because of said fact?

    That's really the point you want to make and defend? Because if it is, you're just trolling.

    Now I got a fucking flake of coffee in my eye. God this is awful. That does it. I'm pulling a couple of beers out of the ice box.

    Your coffee comes in flakes? Are they frosted? Do you make your coffee in a bowl? Is there a mascot on the package?

    I have no idea because it's too early for me to understand this post. Could be though

    Wait, no. I created my own post. I didn't change his for my own person beliefs. That's Hitler stuff

    The first time I had one of these stupid chocolates 2 days ago, I sucked to the middle and felt what I thought was a peanut. I bit it up and it was pure coffee. It tasted bad. So the next one, I chewed the whole thing all at once, to mix the bad taste with the chocolate.

    Now this morning, I'm trying to get my money's worth out of this big expensive Costco bag so I've chewed up about 10. While I slowly grind this gravel, these pebbles/flakes get between my teeth, so I fish them out and grind them some more before swallowing. I'm getting thirsty for a cold one.

    Meanwhile I realize that MM and his fans wake up every morning eager to go at each other, and I'm missing out on the hilarity. MM posts a bunch of sarcastic 1-liners, his opponents kill their morning energies with long answers, and he waddles off laughing all the way to the bank. (Bad analogy, but you see how he leverages you.)

    So a month from now when I squeeze my money's worth from this horrible bag, I'll get up with the roosters and crow at you hens.

    They have it down here in Texas. I don't drink coffee, but people I have spoke to about it said it does not taste good. Still on the shelves though

    I don't have time to read the article, ATM. Looking at the list, I agree with pretty much everyone that Lillard's ranking is fair, especially since those other guys have been in the league longer so they have a greater body of work to evaluate. My own opinion: Parker might be a little high being listed first (although I concede he was pretty amazing at times in the finals); I don't think Wall is equal to Irving or above Rose or Rondo, and I don't think Conley is better than Lillard -- but again I think it's fair to rank Conley higher right now simply because Conley has been in the league longer and Lillard has to prove his one season was not a fluke.

    As for All Star talk: It would be nice, and it's a good goal for Lillard to have. But the league is flush with good PGs at the moment, especially the west. Barring injuries, there is probably no room at the inn. OTOH: I think if Lillard played in a bigger east coast market he would likely be an All Star this season. But since frogs don't have wings....

    Seriously? I was just being flippant. It doesn't surprise me, they have bacon flavored pretty much anything. And I know people LOVE coffee...I'll google this to find out.

    Ok, now I know you're just being funny.

    I was going to embolden your "That's Hitler stuff" but I don't want to rile you up.

    Here is a link to some coffee flavored cereal (I would've posted the picture, but it's HUGE).

    Method may have been different, but the purpose and idea communicated are the same. "The information in your post was inaccurate, so I will indicate to you howso and provide to you my correction thereof."

    You have become the very thing you swore to destroy.

    And yes, it was a movie quote--from one of the Star Wars movies. Interesting guesses on your part, though.

    As a former gambler, I like to think I know the subject before venturing a guess, so I went with porn


    And ugh for the FIFY
