Slang Editorial :: Never Underestimate The Value Of A Holla'

Sunday, May 23, 2004
It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a dope beat to step to

After spending the last four years in the Midwest, I'm just now starting to pick up on the regional dialects. "Ruf" is Minnesotan for "roof," "beer" is Wisconsin for "water", and "Reggie Miller" is Indianan for "grossly overrated."

Dude hits a shot at the end of the game one yesterday and the Associated Press devotes eight of its first nine paragraphs to it. Fair enough, it was a pretty big three. Before that, however, Reg had missed first first six attempts. Big-game Reg, connect on a couple of shots in the first three quarters and you might not need to bail your team out all the time. The rest of his line was insipid as well; Miller-time finished with fewer assists than Ben Wallace and half as many boards as Tayshaun Prince. For the postseason, he's shooting under 40 percent; that's worse than everyone on his team save Austin Crochet. Seriously, have five seconds of spectacular basketball every gone further for a player's career?
