    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">33. The annual "Bobby Jackson is out for 3 months and possibly the season" injury
    Officially replaced the annual Dolphins collapse as the punchline for the "It's like Hannukah -- it happens every December, we just don't know the exact date" joke. By the way, has anyone wondered what happens to the Kings when C-Webb suffers his annual 25-game injury -- which should be happening any day now -- and then they have to continue the season with four NBA serviceable players on their roster? Also, how will they regroup from ...

    32. The Christies get traded
    Five days after news of their reality show for VH1 leaks to the public -- and no, I'm not getting any royalties -- Doug mysteriously gets dealt to Orlando for Cuttino Mobley. There can't be a correlation, right? Who loves being on TV more than the Maloofs? Part of me thinks that VH1 ordered the trade since there are more good-looking women in Orlando, which means more temptation for Doug, which means a tighter leash, which means more fireworks. But who knows?

    (More importantly, my dream has come true! A reality show about the Christies! I've been calling for this for three years! If this works out, maybe the networks will start greenlighting some of my other ideas -- like "Stoned Scrabble," "Gymkata: The Series," or "Hooker or NBA Groupie?", "Long Distance Dog Jumping," "Black Bachelor" or even "Pardon The Interruption II" with Tim Hardaway, Eric Dickerson and Dikembe Mutombo as Stat Boy. I have dozens of them. Give me a network! I demand my own network!)

    31. Zach Randolph's contract extension
    Has a team ever signed someone to an $86 million extension, then put that same player on the trading block before the extension even had a chance to kick in?

    (Not to sound like Stephen A. Simmons here, but WHY DIDN'T THE BLAZERS LET HIM PLAY OUT THE SEASON??? They could have just matched any offer he received as a restricted free agent, right? And besides, this is the same guy about whom his high school coach said, "I just don't want the day to come where I pick up that paper and it says (Zach} shot someone, or that he was shot. Every day that goes by that I don't see that, I feel good." Now you're handing over $86 million when you didn't have to? How was that a good idea?)</div>
