I've been a busy man.

So, sorry for the lack of posting. I've been really busy. Last weekend I went down to Oxford to watch my Vols not show up, went to the Grizz and saw the Reigning Sound... and that was just on Saturday. I also had my birthday and I saw Son Volt and Bruce Springsteen. It's been a little jam packed.

I'd like to talk about the Griz winning streak, but I didn't see game two because I was at Bruce. I will watch most of it tonight, but I may miss some of it to go see Dan Auerbach. So, yes the rock is winning over the Grizz right now.

Fear not though, loyal Evil readers!!! I plan on doing a Bruce post over at What the Hell Happened to Aerosmith very soon. On top of that, it seems maybe Steven Tyler has been reading my stuff. Oh, that will be covered over there as well.

So, in sum, this is a post about excuses and plans for future post. Eat me.

It's official: AI is gone.

The Grizz have waived AI.

Dear God, make it stop.

Grizz Win!!!! Who cares?

Evil Bro and I experienced the second win of the Grizz season on Saturday. Woohoo!!!! We beat a team that sucks even when it has Al Jefferson and Kevin Love, which they didn't. Let's just say that NBA hopes the tape of this game is burned. It was ugly, but we won.

On a lighter note, the onion has taken on the AI situation.

Oh, and we signed Jamal Tinsley. Jamal Tinsley? Yep. Jamal Tinsley.

Orange jerkass.

This may be the most painful jerkass I've ever had to give. Sure, I've had to give the Jerkass of the Week to some folks I love. Hell, I've had to give it to myself. But, I don't think a JOW award has ever hurt this much.

That's because these week I have to give it to three Vols. That's right. Vols. Janzen Jackson, NuKeese Richardson and Mike Edwards were arrested for attempted armed robbery early Thursday morning. That is jerkass.

It appears Mr. Richardson and Mr. Edwards needed some cash and decided to point a pellet gun in the face of three fellow college students and ask for their cash. Surprisingly, three college students had no money. Mr. Jackson told the others they needed to leave. At which point they jumped in a Prius and went back to their dorm. They were caught shortly their after.

These guys are just dumb. And being dumb is jerkass. Being dumb and costing yourself lots of money is really jerkass. Being dumb and not being able to play against Ole Miss or, most likely, for the University of Tennessee ever again makes you the Jerkass of the Week.

Have a great weekend folks. I got a full one planned. Tomorrow I got the Vols beat down of the Rebs, the Grizz loss and the Reigning Sound at the Tone. Sunday we've got the kickball tourney. Go Achievers!!! Go Vols!!! Go Grizz!!! Get crunk!!!

Grizz induced vomiting.

So, I went to see the Grizz in person last night. All I can really say is ouch. That is not a good basketball team. They have a few good parts, but it's not a good team.

The Grizz starters held their own as they always do. Then the bench came in. I just gotta say that without AI, their is nothing there. Thabeet came in and promptly got his jaw broke. Sam Young is inconsistent. DeMarre has not shown a consistent 15 footer. Marcus Williams actually played alright, except he can't score. There is no scoring on the bench and there are three rookies. It's not looking good.

I don't know what else to say. These guys are killing me. Here's hoping they turn it around tonight.

AI... that's it?

The Commercial Appeal is reporting that AI is considering retiring. He left the team after Friday's game for personal reasons. One of the reasons seems to be that Lionel Hollins doesn't even talk to him.

Really, Lionel? You don't even go in there and explain his role to him? You don't talk to the guy? He's a future hall of famer. Hell, he's a player on your damn team. There are only 14 of them. I think you should talk to all of them. Maybe even daily. How hard is it to talk to your players?

I don't know if AI is going to retire. I hope he doesn't. I'd like to see him play more, preferably in a Grizz uniform. We'll see.

I will say that this is the most interesting 1-5 team in history.
