It may be a few more years before I'm into basketball and probably a few after that before I'm into football the way I totally dig baseball (and probably not even then), but it seems that basketball is the ONLY topic right now. Don't get me wrong--I'm excited the Mavs have made it this far, but can the guys at least throw in some Rangers talk from time to time? You know, mix it up a little.Jonaessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391716529404039791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-10953461016529832842011-06-10T16:47:11.224-05:002011-06-10T16:47:11.224-05:00No problem, Plainsman.

Twitter does weird things sometimes and I'm re-following you again.<br /><br />Back to the original topic, I feel that BaD generally does a good job of covering the sports topic du jour, and in this case, they've gone beyond their regular level of competence and have been very solid. I've enjoyed Bob's usual over-the-top in-depth -- borderline OCD -- analysis, Dan has been very engaged in the entire postseason and Donny Doo has been an outstanding +1. I'm BaD homers in general, but I think they've gone above and beyond with the Mavs' postseason run.birqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766002266258702470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-82752499800102846532011-06-10T12:38:56.368-05:002011-06-10T12:38:56.368-05:00TY Cancer... that is a funny story.

Gordo offered to let Dirk borrow his Taylor acoustic to test the waters before going out to buy one. Side note: Taylor guitars start at around $700 and Gordo's was a mid-tier model, so it was probably a $1200-$1500 guitar. Chump change for Dirk, but serious money for Gordo at the time.<br /><br />Long story short, Gordo never got the guitar back. When asked about it one time, Dirk threw out that he had had some water damage at his house and thought the guitar was in pretty bad shape. Gordo has asked him about it a couple times, but Dirk just laughs, either like he thinks Gordo is joking about wanting it back, or he doesn't remember. <br /><br />I know it still bugs Gordo, but I get the impression that he's written it off and has realized that the story's comedic value is higher than that of the guitar.<br /><br />Plainsman, you didn't happen to block some people on the Twits yesterday, did you? I followed you and found out today I wasn't following you anymore. If so, I'll hit you up through email with my Twitter name so you know I'm genuine.birqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766002266258702470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-49071497625096577452011-06-10T09:25:25.843-05:002011-06-10T09:25:25.843-05:00Whats back story of the Dirk & Gordo guitar bi...Whats back story of the Dirk & Gordo guitar bit.P1 Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611271291061001025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-88850007316233933202011-06-10T08:49:06.430-05:002011-06-10T08:49:06.430-05:00Thanks, B.

Off" and "Hard by the AAC?" I think it was, and if so, that really shows how he has a way of stumbling (I believe in lieu of crafting) into little audio OTA gems.<br /><br />I agree Hardline coverage of the Mamricks has been very good, as has been the pre-game show. I just wish they could get Followill in there more permanently.<br /><br />-Anon B<br /><br />P.S. Nice tweeting last night, PlainsmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
