Apparently these dicks dont let me write Redick
Straight out of Bill Simmons' uncoolest athletes ever column:
J.J. Redikc
The poetry, we can overlook. (Hey, we're not about to slag someone else for amateurish written expression.) But the Duke Factor? Not so much. What Luke Skywalker was to the Force, J.J. Redikc is to a lack of cool: the unwitting conduit to a higher power, an heir to an inescapable tradition. Erik Meek. Chris Collins. Mike Gminski. Cherokee Parks. Greg Paulus (pre-football cool revival). Shane Battier. Shav Randolph. Wojo. Wojo! As such, cut Redikc some slack. Search your feelings. You know it to be true. The moment he signed his Blue Devils letter of intent -- committing to college basketball's Galactic Empire -- uncoolness was his destiny.
Good talk.

Man, if only we had a board for pro and other college threads. This thread would be perfect there.

It was on PTI yesterday too - really funny. Seems like JJ took it in good fun; laughed at himself. I mean what else could he do?
I sitll think the guy that came out to a game with his jersey on backwards was worse. people fall down / ankles broken all the time in the nba.
