When I first got on here a bazillion years ago this was the first and only blog I was involved in. To date I really only have ever done this and Facebook. Sooooo...when it came time to choose a name I was thinking first and foremost something anonymous, but also wanted something that might enhance my anonymity by giving people a false impression of me. I had no clue I would end up becoming so completely absorbed by this community for several years.
It was still pretty soon after the death of Red Auerbach , so I went with a timely, irreverent, and fairly tasteless punning of one of my favorite lines from Pulp Fiction. And thus the line "Zed's dead baby. Zed's dead" became my CB handle "redzdeadbabyredzdead".
A couple of years later I was asked to be a Mod and we thought it best that I shorten it to Redz. So we did.
It's no tribute to Delonte, or even Red himself really. I do have a red headed daughter and I am the grandson of a guy whose friends called him "Red", but I do it have red hair myself.
...and that's my long winded story
