    Is this really a thing now? The first one was maybe worth a chuckle. But changing the name of the person in the joke doesn't make it a different joke.

      Is it bad that I've never heard of that valuable soon-to-be free agent?

        Maybe. He is an adequate rotation player. FTR, he was more valuable when he was leading the league in 3pt%. He has fallen off a bit, of late, though still shooting almost 45% on the year.

          I've seen him miss a couple of shots and execute a nice assist tonight. Thanks for the education.

            The story behind this gofundme is pretty sad. I want to make it clear I'm not mocking her per se. But it's been an education seeing the reasons she posts for money. A 40-ish year old woman with metastatic breast cancer is asking for 50,000. The amount is fine, since you can blow through 50 grand pretty quick treating cancer. But she doesn't really do a good job inspiring people to donate. She's had 5 updates so far, and she's up to about 1400 pledged. So far, she needs money to:

            -Fix the car
            -Pursue alternative therapies and lifestyle changes that will prolong her life
            -Get dental work
            -Put a deposit on a bigger apartment
            -Start eating healthier
            -Attend 2 healing retreats
            -Get a new laptop
            -Fix a second car
            -Pay attorney's fees to secure someone's guardianship over her daughter (I'm not mocking this one)
            -Attend a Reiki Mastery retreat (tuition: 1700), which has helped her cancer go into remission in the past. I had to look up that one.
            -Fix the first car again

            I think she would have much better luck reaching her goal if she left out the details, and just said she needs the money while fighting her cancer.

            "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                ESPN has used that mascot in enough silly commercials, you'd think they would pony up and just buy the university a few more suits.

                      Not really. By way of another website (on which I admittedly spend too much time) that website comes to me.

                        If you would just donate to his damn page, he'd really be able to dedicate himself to it, bringing the REAL gems here. Do it!

                        On a related note, friends of ours' 11 year old got tagged by a car on his way to school last Thursday. He's been in ICU with a traumatic brain injury since. The gofundme set up for them is north of $35k in four days. I'm glad when the good ones work.

                              I've got a friend that set up a couple of gofundme's for her kids. The kids want money so they can go help build orphanages or something in Africa and South America. The friend is pissed because no one has donated anything. I'm not paying for someone's kids to go on a two week long service opportunity, errrrr.......vacation.

                                But are they asking for a quarter of a million dollars to buy a fast food franchise?
