PLAYERS: Bill Clinton
Soccer-meets-president
Not really sure Bill Clinton is the right guy to help out unless you are looking to cheat on your wife.  He walked up to Fisher and offered him a copy of Clinton's new book, entitled "Back to Work."  Seems appropriate. If you missed it earlier, the players have rejected the latest offer from the owners, but plan on meeting today.  Both sides seem to have a stick up their ass so I'm not counting on much getting done.  Hopefully Derrick Fisher has some time to read over Bill's book and gets something good out of it.  We all want to see some basketball being played this year.

Mike Tyson as Herman Cain

I'm allergic to political speak.  They're all corrupt goofballs in their own ways.  I don't like being told what I want to hear just so I'll like you.  But, I'm all about political spoofs.  Will Ferrell's Dubya is classic.  Frank Caliendo's Bill Clinton is outstanding.  Mike Tyson's Herman Cain has some work to do, but it's great to see Iron...

A new king of debate

var addthis_product = 'wpp-252'; var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};I’ve always loved political debates. There are little moments that stand out—Ronald Regan’s “There you go again” with Jimmy Carter; Bill Clinton pacing the stage toward Ross Perot; Al Gore walking too close to George W. Bush. Of course, the power of JFK’s image vs. Richard...
