I figure that my old photo of FJ+toy got the old site 90% close to being shut down. And now I created this new site 100%. So my net contribution to phx[-]?suns.net is +10%.

I think you are being generous. It was much closer to 99%.

Seeds of Hate! I remember one particularly heated exchange between him and Ladmo wherein Seeds offered to drive up to Casa Grande (he was from the Tucson area) and meet Ladmo for a fight.

I love this quote:

"A lot of teams, you read the media reports and you can kind of tell what they’re doing or what they want to do," McDonough said. "I’ve got a few people telling me, ‘We have no idea what you guys are doing.’ I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not, but we do value the element of surprise."

The other teams have no idea what we're doing. Do we?

Not THAT close to getting the site shut down, I'm afraid...but it was cool how it gave Sose a chance to meet some of the folks on the organization side.

Mori, you've absolved yourself of your sins long before you started this site!

Interesting article on Googs and what could have been with the Suns:

I didn't even remember that this happened:

From an account a few months after the incident, penned by Gugliotta, at ESPN the Magazine:

After the game, I showered, had a soft drink, filled the dropper in the GBL bottle to 5 milliliters and took the stuff. I got on the team bus and called my wife, Nikki. As I talked, it felt like low voltage electricity was going through my body. I heard a humming noise in my head. The skin on my face started twitching. I was feeling a little loopy and queasy. That's how I imagine an OD would feel — like I took a drug, but skipped passed any buzzed feeling and went straight to sick.

Nikki says I started babbling. I could tell I was passing out, and didn't want her to hear, so I tried to cut off the cell, but I guess I dropped it. Still on the line, Nikki heard my teammates yelling for an ambulance. The trainer started slapping my face, but my eyes kept rolling back and my chin dropped to my chest. Luckily, there was still an EMT crew around. As they were taking me from the bus to the ambulance, I started foaming at the mouth and shaking. That's what GBL can do to you. It knocks you out and slows your breathing, sometimes to the point of stopping it. That's what happened to me.

Nikki was aware that her husband had been taking the supplement in attempts to get better rest. She immediately called the wife of Suns teammate Rex Chapman, who then called Chapman on the bus to ask the medical personnel to rifle through Gugliotta’s duffle bag in order to find the supplement’s label. The antidote the EMT staff gave Gugliotta saved his life, due to some quick thinking on his wife’s part.

Here's a good recap of a bunch of behind the scene's moves we've made this off-season:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/suns-serie ... --nba.html

The Phoenix Suns have added Nate Bjorkgren and former NBA players Earl Watson and Corey Gaines to Jeff Hornacek's coaching staff and shifted Mark West from the bench back to the front office as vice president of player relations.

The Suns said Thursday that Bjorkgren will serve as assistant coach/player development coordinator, and that Watson and Gaines will be assistant coaches.

The team also made Jason Fraser a player development assistant, promoted Bubba Burrage to director of player personnel in addition to his duties as general manager of the NBA Development League's Bakersfield Jam, and added Courtney Witte as director of scouting and Antonio Williams as a scout.

I remember that pretty clearly and was kind of freaked out by it.

Turbodog beer, made by Abita Brewing Co. in Louisiana.

It's rich and full-bodied, like an ultimate woman ...

Maybe it was mentioned earlier but any word on Bojan Bogdanovic coming over anytime soon?

Turbodog is tasty, but after two, I feel like I have eaten a plate of prime rib. Filling.

Purple Haze is good. Actually, I have a couple in the recroom fridge, chilling ...
