What in the name of Randy Breuer are the Phoenix Suns doing turning to Pat Burke for the game winning jumper at the end of the second overtime? I know that three players had fouled out, but Pat Burke? And why was he taking that last two shots at the end of the second overtime? Hey there's a reason why you're open, Pat. Just don't shoot it man! To the surprise of nobody, the Suns lost to New York in triple overtime 140-133.
So when I turned the game on at the end of regulation and saw Uncle Fester, I had to check nba.com for the guy's name. Too bad there's not a imdb.com (internet movie data base) version for NBA white stiffs (nbastiff.com?). How cool would that be to get profiles and pictures on the likes of Uwe Blab, Bill Wennington, Frederick Weis, Mark Ivaroni, etc.
Well at least there are sites dedicated to Ryan Bowen and Pat Burke. How else can you appreciate the wasted space and awkwardness of the prototypical NBA white stiff.
Let me state that again in case you missed it... there are websites dedicated to Ryan Bowen and Pat Burke! (click on their names dammit) Who authors these things? Are they getting paid to do so? Do they put "Ryan Bowen website author" on their resume in bold sixteen point text? Do their cellphones have Ryan Bowen or Pat Burke ringtones? Are they allowed sloppy seconds on the Ryan Bowen/Pat Burke groupies. Does the word sloppy appropriately describe the groupies? I need to know these things...
Hey the writer of this is a dumbass! so dont listen to this b/s Pat burke makes more money than him in a year and their is a reason why he plays in the NBA it is b/c he is good. So if u have a problem with him u have a problem with me! and when he is open he hits 78% of his shots so shove it! if u r gona blame him b/c he missed one shot u r a dick and look that when didnt cost then they r still in 1st place in the pacific divison!

Intelligent NBA commentary ... The guy missed a shot. Get over it. Who are you to criticise people who work for a living?

Is a 'sport analyst' the term for Failed-Jock-Wannabe? Get over it, Pat is more talented and successful than you will probably ever be. Some shots go in and some don't. Furthermore, I believe the use of the word 'anal' in your employment title is quite appropriate in this case.

Rather than attack you with personal witicisms and obscure references to freakish film stars - I'll leave the childish tabloid journalism to you - I wonder would you like to respond to some of the comments? Seems too easy to post a random, unwarranted attack on a professional player? Do you think you know better than the Suns coach now also?
It's been quite a while since you posted this 'Opinion' and I am wondering if you have the balls to reassess your thoughts? A trip to YouTube may help? Criticise when it's deserved but be adult enough to give credit when it's due. If I was to read no other articles you wrote, I would say you were a one dimensional, wildly inaccurate, unimaginative and amateurish 'writer'... But what do i know eh?
"NBA White Stiffs"?? You are embarassing yourself...
You have my e-mail address - Feel free to send a Christmas card..
