But what really stood out for me that night was when I gave Grant Napear a high-five. The guy had the softest hands on the planet. I gave all of the Kings dancers high-fives as well, but none of them came close. How do you do it Grant? You need to get out in the garage and get those hands dirty and rough them up a bit.

There must be a secret here, a special (man)icure shop that massages his hands daily with lotion. I do not know.

Wow, this guy is a douche bag. There’s plenty of things to criticize Grant Napear for, but soft hands? Really? Give me a break.

Easy buddy

Ziller is fairly well respected as a great writer in the Basketball blog community, but even he has no problem taking cheap shots at the Peachy One

More amazement ...

Since when

was it a crime to comment on another man’s delightfully soft hands?

If Ziller wrote it, I’d think he was a douche bag too. I understand MacCallum’s trying to be funny, but the whole girly man sissy path? C’mon. I mean, at least “peaches” was a littlecreative.

This is the guy that'll act like a tough ass on the radio and get into arguments with guests, callers, and even pro athletes

so it’s a little ironic that he has soft girly hands

TZ, if ever you were going to have a signature line, I think that it should be

Andy -

Two-thirds of a pun – P-U. :) Sometimes, you just gotta go for the groaner punch line. Well played…

…and I agree totally on the sentiment of said pun.

What does “rec’d” mean? I know it’s a rookie questions, but they have to be asked sometimes, too. I’ve been on other blogs and only seen that phrase used here. Thank you…and regarding the Kings woes, just remember:

The Brooklyn Dodgers had a saying. “Wait ’til next year.” :)

If you click on the "actions" bar

below someone’s comment, it will give you the option to “rec” (recommend) the comment. Five “rec’s” and it turns green. You can also do the same for a person’s Fanpost or Fanshot (five “rec’s” moves it into “Recommended Fanpost/Fanshot” status.
