Hey ya'll, we got some good news (for us) that we would like to share: The good folks over at Yaysports, who have always shown us a lot of love, are taking a short one month break from the site. As such, they have enlisted five substitute bloggers, known collectively as The Five Deadly Venoms, to take their place, including your own SML. We're in charge of their days and their nights, as long as their days and nights are prefixed with "Fri". That's right, look for us starting this Friday over at Yaysports, trying to keep the classroom in order. We'll be needing some muscle in the comments pit over there, in case their readers try to bumrush the stage, so Seth (postingandtoasting), Becky (el-friends-du-nenad), and Barnes (sonofdippin'), you're all on notice. As we speak, Seth is working* on Know The Opponent: Yaysport commentators.
In case you are wondering how we secured this high-level blog suicide assistance (we are like the Dr. Kevorkian of blog suicide, if Kevorkian was Latino instead of Armenian), it was because we explained the options very thoroughly. From our e-mail:
Blog suicide! 6 millions ways to die, which way will you choose for your blog? Here are some of your options:
#1,503,535: Death from lack of punctuation. This actually happened to me once when I left someone in charge of my old blog. They fenced all my commas and periods, everything merged into one never-ending sentence and that was it for that blog. SML knows people who are in need of commas, so I might be able to get a good deal for your punctuation.
#4,560,356: The "Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man" Death - we can quick-freeze your blog, then hit it with a hammer and break it into a million shattered pieces. Then blow up the building two minutes later, ensuring your blog will never, ever make it to a sequel.
#4,704,690: The Verrazzano death: In which your blog is killed by unfriendly cannibilistic Caribs, in front of your horrified brother's eyes. Your legacy will be honored via a structure that connects hordes of Staten Island gaudos with the mainland.
#5,500,350: Death by Plinko.
#5,706,074: Mascot beatdown led by Sebastian the Ibis. Don't eff with THE U.
So there you have it. Not great, we admit, but we wanted to rush it in before everyone else did, and sometimes that's all it takes.
Other stuff: Postingandtoasting commentator Anthony Mason's Haircut has some good info on the Randolph Morris loophole that enabled him to play for Kentucky while technical eligible as a NBA free agent. See the comments here for more.
Our newest addition to the BlogsByFans network is The Dodger Blues, who in addition to writing and tracking the Dodgers is apparently a kick-ass college basketball prophet. She is currently 37th overall in the ESPN NCAA Tourney Challenge (out of tens of thousands of participants), so color us impressed. We can't even break the top ten of the NBX Battle of the Blogs challenge (currently sitting at 17th, thanks to a good evening yesterday).
Finally, for the Knicks fans: James Dolan's weak ass interview with the NY Post is here, and here is the Daily News (noted Dolan haters) take on it. Alright, enjoy yourselves, we'll be back in NYC soon.
*And by "working" we mean "completely unaware" of it.

I was aware, man. I read the Yay. Congrats on getting that gig. I'll make sure to bring the comments come Friday.
