Wow...  the idiot airhead anchor doing the coverage of Lithuania / Argentina just asked "is this a coming out party for Luis Scola?" 

That's one of those situations where, if you don't know what the hell you're talking about, just keep your mouth shut.

Why do you think I drafted him in the Celticsblog Draft?   

Ughh...another hour and twenty to go.  This is going to be a struggle.

Yeah, I had Scola in last year's draft.  He lasted until the seventh or eighth round, back when it was possible to fly under the radar.  That's not possible now (except with the blonde airheads CNBC employs, apparently.)

And yeah, Dons, this riveting bronze medal game isn't helping me stay awake.

Just watched the men's mountain bike.  That was interesting.  Too bad the Americans laid an egg.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Wow. I'm trying my best to stay awake for this game, but I don't think I'll make it, guys.

[Mean Gerald Green]

Wow. I'm trying my best to stay awake for this game, but I don't think I'll make it, guys.

Me too, I've been up for going on 40 hours now...really trying to make it.

Anybody going to be in the chat for the game?

I'll go in the chat. Maybe that popping noise the chat makes when someone types something will keep me awake.

However, I could clearly smoke these guys on the pong table in Beirut.
