Player of the D.A.Y.

Under the weather. What does that even mean?

By Sam Rubenstein

Last night was the office holiday party, and today the entire office is under the weather. Lang’s been out of town, and he couldn’t make the party, so I consumed enough free foods/drinks for two. Then, this morning (okay, afternoon), I had to run up to a midtown hotel to check out some new PS3 games. That led to more unhealthy eating, but the #1 motto of the Rubenstein family, handed down by both my father and my mother is “Never turn down free food.”

I don’t feel so good right now.

The award comes down to two people. Is it Dwyane Wade leading the Heat with an MVP-like performance over the Suns? Or is it Josh Smith, who put up fantasy fantasy numbers that had Emry gushing earlier. It comes down to the following:

Miami dominated Phoenix on the glass 46-29. The win continues their slow march back to respectability. However… THE ATLANTA HAWKS ARE A .500 TEAM 20 GAMES INTO THE SEASON!!! I’ll be down in the bomb shelter if anyone needs me. They beat mighty Orlando to get there, the best team in their division. So, the Player of the D.A.Y. is Josh Smith. And those numbers, which bear repeating were 25-16-5-4-4.

DWade will be D.A.Y. over and over now that he’s healthy. Josh is a free agent in 2008?

Josh is the truth. He is like Kirelinko without the crying.

Except Kirelinko doesn’t board like Josh… he’s like a combo of Kirilenko and Marion… it’s ridiculous!

TADOne says:
AK47 is a pretty good rebounder. But Smith should keep putting up these type of stats as long as he keeps his head on straight. That is a big “but” though.

I like big ‘but’s and i cannot lie.

Gerald Wallace had a few of this games last year, but he did it in losses. Also, Kirilenko is in the best environment to be useful, but in the worst one to post up numbers. He should be in the Suns. If this happens while Nash still worths something, I guarantee a quadrable double. With 5 steals, for good measure!!!

We gather today to remember those brave Quahog men that were lost at sea. The bible declares, an eye for an eye, so let us now take our vengeance on this murderous ocean (stabs ocean). You won’t be hurting anyone anymore!

It’s creamed corn, I brought it from home. I don’t like the creamed corn they have here. It’s too crunchy.

Is that Family Guy?

Sam Rubenstein says:
I do not own a PS3. I just went to learn about their new games. I have pains in my stomach from laughing at a joke on Family Guy last night that I can not repeat here.

Sesa says:
Sorry then, Sam. I was blinded by my desire to own a PS3. Checking those games while I don’t actually playing them kinda makes me envious.

One good game and you are treating Josh like he is Jesus…… shame on you.
