Lost Time Is Not Found Again: June 24, 2009

By Ryan Corazza

Lost Time Is Not Found Again is what the MPS blog crew has been reading today. Maybe.

+ Blake Griffin vs. Jared Fogel in S-U-B-W-A-Y. {You Been Blinded.}

+ Gambling site releases new odds on which NCCA school will rack up the next violation. Awesome. {FanHouse.}

+ Terrell Owens does a weak job on “The Superstars” and his teammate lets him have it. {Awful Announcing.}

+ The goofy guide to the NBA Draft. {TrueHoop.}

+ Non-sports: A Facebook movie may star Michael Cera or Shia LaBeouf. {Mashable.} One of the best iPhone apps, Shazam, just got better. {Gizmodo.}

Quotable:

“Run. Just start running. Run for your life. Run like the star of a horror movie. Don’t turn around. Run and keep running.

I think you should play in Greece. Or Italy. Or Spain. Or anywhere else. You should play anywhere but for the Clippers. Your agents and advisors are in denial. They don’t want you to seem like an ungrateful jerk. They want you to be as marketable and likable as possible. They have talked themselves into the following scenario: ‘If Blake can turn the Clippers around and become a star in the No. 2 TV market in the country, only good things will happen to him.’

See, this is where they are wrong. The odds are overwhelming that bad things will happen to you until you leave. And you will. The Clippers are cursed. They have been cursed for 33 consecutive years. It’s a real curse, not a ‘Curse of the Bambino’-type hex manufactured to sell books. There has to be a legitimate reason why the Clippers franchise has been falling apart like Jon and Kate for three-plus decades, right? We’ve seen too much losing, too much incompetence, too much bad luck, too many freak occurrences. There has to be an answer.” – Bill Simmons
