Ball
Can we end the practice of post game interviews already? When was the last time you learned anything interesting from a player's mouth after the game?

Best Afro In Sports Card History
I'm plowing through Bill Simmons' The Book Of Basketball right now and he mentioned this 1976 Topps card of Oscar Gamble, owner of one of the greatest afros in sports history.

Frank Terry & Gary Mack on KHJ AM, Los Angeles: September 7, 1966
This is a pretty cool artifact of Los Angeles from the high water mark of the Sunset Strip rock revolution.

The music is top notch and the ads are infinitely more interesting than what we have now. What happened?

Scottie Pippen Got Jumped By A Pack Of Midgets
This story made my week. Seriously.
In 2008, Scottie Pippen was duped into being in a direct to video movie that featured Pip being assaulted by a group of midgets, which included Gary Coleman.
Scottie out out this press release this week:
"Given the recent controversy surrounding Gary Coleman, the fact that I've been repeatedly asked questions about my small part in the movie 'Midgets vs. Mascots,' and a related video posted online which shows me being assaulted by a group of Little People, I want to clear up any misunderstandings.
"In 2008, I agreed to play a cameo role in a movie titled 'A Tribute to Big Red' (now titled 'Midgets vs. Mascots'). My role was scripted, and the first two scenes went off without any problems. During the third scene, I was told that four Little People, along with actor Gary Coleman, were going to become angry with something I said and storm off as the scene ends. Instead, they basically attacked me, with Gary Coleman apparently climbing on a chair behind me to hit me over the head with a phone (twice).
"A short fight ensued before I heard the film's director yell 'cut.' As I recall, some of the Little People were laughing as the director explained that the scene was 'sort of like an episode of the TV show 'Punk'd.'' At that point, I left quickly without a clear understanding of what was going on.
"As for the Little Person who claims he was injured in the attack, I really don't think I caused the injury or can be held to blame. To the best of my knowledge, there is no action being taken against me, nor am I pursuing any action. For the record, I have never seen the movie and, in hindsight, wish I'd not been involved with it. I simply wanted to make clear my role and position as I understand the movie is coming out soon. I will not be answering any further questions regarding the film."

As a bonus, here's some vintage Scottie Pippen
