And that’s how to be a force under the basket!

This is how the Memphis Grizzlies learned to play basketball. (Especially now since they have A. I. on their roster.)

Isn’t that a foul?

BC13 cross posted. or, to put it another way, great minds think alike.

That’s how to be tough in the paint.

yyyguy I guess I barely beat you to the post.

Not that I know anything about B-Ball, but I’m sure that’s a foul…or cheating as I once heard someone say.

The NBA has a restricted arc rule.

The arc is a four foot zone that extends from under the basket.

The rule states that a defensive player cannot force a foul within that zone.

The grizzly is definitely within the zone, therefore,

no foul!!!

And the one swatted away was the defensive player and the grizzly as the offensive player was allowed to do that?

There’s something very wrong with that rule, if he can get away with that. But then I was never a B-Ball fan anyway.

Shaquille O’Neal has had great success playing within the arc.

A big man, or grizzly, has a definite advantage.

Defensive players take quite a bruisin’.

EMET posted to his website on Friday and today, but has anyone figured out the riddle he left us?

From October 24th:

Riddle (or A ‘yoke’ of the day):

If two Bee teams come up and play between the two teams of oxen, it’s Patriarch play is called. The oxen must be careful not to squeeze the bees out and would have to remain steady. The Bees are well versed in their rolls. Where would the quarterback of the oxen be leading the next offensive drive?

You can guess but I can’t confirm the right answer until November 26th at halftime of the football game.

End Post

There are two games on Thanksgiving (Nov 26).

Green Bay at Detroit is the early game.

Oakland at Dallas is the later game.

and i always thought a foul was some kind of bird

Jor-El. There is a third game on NFLN: Giants at the Broncos is the later, later game.

Jor-El. I do remember the riddle. It was a couple weeks ago, but I haven’t a clue what the answer is.
