Al?  Or Othella?  Although Othella didn't start his career with Indiana.

Also, if it's Harrington (either one) we're missing an "R" here, right?

I wasn't sure if Othella didn't play this year, but turns out he did

I couldn't believe Bo Outlaw played this year.  I had some vague memory of him playing last year.

[Roy Hobbs]

In a related question, why *isn't* Ruben Patterson playing this year?  He scored around 15 ppg last year, and played very good defense.  The tough start with the Clippers shouldn't keep him out of a job.

Maybe it's because teams have finally realized they don't need to employ crazy teammate-punching sex offenders.

Rather have one of these Reuben's.  The dude is talented, but yeh, the act has worn thin.

While looking up Fred Roberts career stats after an obscure reference by Bahku, I was amazed to see that he ranked #92 on the all the all time NBA Career Field Goal Pct list.  Among qualified players (at least 2000 FGM) only 99 players in the history of the league have shot .500 or better from the field.

Our trivia question for tonight is to name the 14 active players to rank in the All Time Top 100 Field Goal Percentages.  To be considered "active" a player must have appeared in a game during 2007-08 season.

Fire away...and as always

NO CHEATING!

TP for a great topic.  I thought I hit gold by listing Mark Blount, but as with everything Mark Blount, it was just fool's gold.

Blount sports a career FG% of .506, which would put him in the mid 70s.  Problem is, Blount doesn't qualify yet because he has only made 1990.  Once again, Blount came up short for me.....

[dang it], Redz, I have to skip lunch today.  Totally unfair and unnecessary.  Now I'm salivating.

[Redz]

mmmmm...Reuben

I had a flippin' salad.

I'm trying to squeeze into a suit for my buddy's wedding in a month! Apparently they don't make it my size and I have to wear this one certain suit.  I need to drop from a conservative 50 to a tight 48.  Stupid wedding uniforms! 

I still wear the coat I was married in.  The "wear it one time" suit kinda bums me out - especially if it doesn't fit.

OK< my wedding rant is over.

I lost a lot of weight fairly quickly by getting down to no breakfast, coffee for lunch, sensible dinner early in the evening, and what I wanted for dessert, but I had a job where I was on my feet. Not physical, but moving

Seems like you'd be crashing pretty hard by the end of the work day though.  Actually, a light breakfast will actually help you lose weight if you're on your feet, as it helps speed up your metabolism - the only downsize is that you'll actually feel a bit hungrier.

The times I've had good success dropping some pounds I've used a really simple solution:  Eating healthier food (not necessarily eating less food or less frequently - just eating more veggies and less fatty crap) and exercising.  Not anything revolutionary.  Sticking with it is the issue!
