    A few interesting comments in here. Simmons was exceedingly complimentary to KP at several points.

    And yet, that might've been LESS awkward than when Ron Jeremy came on and spent 5 minutes going back-and-forth between crappily trying to bust on his brother and Jon Barry, ending up with "Brent Barry's a pretty man"

    Oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that exchange incredibly awkward.

    hahaha.. yeah, I was watching the draft with some friends and we all looked at each other afterward and said, "hmm.. the interview at first got off to a good start but by the end... wow, did that get really awkward."

    Weird. The rest of the league thinks Kahn got "fleeced" by our management. I really like Webster but this is an extremely lopsided deal.
