Prime example of why I have very little love for the sports media...I don't feel like they actually take time to really write and often times think up lame stories/articles.  The link above is probably the worst sports related 'story' put up on the Internet of all time.

I went two pictures in and then became very angry with you WK for wasting my time. 

Did you catch the KCAL-9 interview with LO?  I don't know if it means anything but he was wearing a Lakers Ariza jersey.  It has to mean something right?  Is he trying to say he's going the Ariza route or that he's been treated like Ariza by the Lakers?  You tell me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI

LMAO! 
On the set of Walker Texas Ranger Chuck Norris brought a dying lamb back to life by nuzzling it with his beard. As the onlookers gathered, the lamb sprang to life. Chuck Norris then roundhouse kicked it, killing it instantly. The lesson? The good Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

Really? This is the article that pushed you over the edge?  Seems like a harmless bit of drivel to me.  When I saw the caption for this thread I just assumed it was something from Scoop Jackson or Jay Mariotti.

Scoop Jackson may write some articles that I roll my eyes at and we all know I think Bill Simmons is a glorified blogger but this is the straw the broke the camels back.

Sure it's harmless but it embodies all the things that bother me:  Not well thought out, thrown together, less to do with the actual game,  trying to jump on some hype to get viewers......
