Press Conference Today at 12:30

[Mediocre Man]

Neil Olshey: Christopher Zane Kaman, your files say you've served 1 year of a career in purple and piss. Do you feel you've been set free?
Chris: Set free? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.
Neil Olshey: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society...
Chris: I know what you think it means, sonny. To me, it's just made up words. A GMs words, so old dudes like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did?
Neil Olshey: Well, are you?
Chris: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I was there, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: an ugly stupid man who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That guy's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Set free? It's just bullshit words. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

Another uncreative move by Olshey, acquiring another former Clipper, another known quantity.

How about some evaluation of potential, instead of just using his connections in a backroom filled with cigar smoke?

I heard you can only smoke cigars in the backroom now.

Olshey: "Hope this doesn't blow up in my face".
Kamen: "Am I the Skipper, or am I Gilligan?"
Blake: "I just got laid!"
Stotts: "I just got laid too. But my bottom hurts."

Blake: "My 1st time at this table was next to Steve Patterson. 2nd time, Pritchard signed me. 3rd time...can't remember this one's name. Next time, I'll be GM announcing someone I signed. And I'm buying a new table."

Olshey: "Hope this doesn't blow up in my face".
Kamen: "Am I the Skipper, or am I Gilligan?"
Blake: "I just got laid!"
Stotts: "I just got laid too. But my bottom hurts."

Blake: "Alright! That hardened-up gum wad I keep under the table, to use every time I'm signed here...still has flavor!"

Welcome to Shawshank.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Bob Whitsitt used to get players who had a couple years of NBA experience, who were underrated by their current teams. Pritchard wasn't a good trader so he depended on the draft, but wasn't any better of a drafter than Whitsitt, to whom the draft was last priority. Olshey is a GM tweener, trying to do both but excelling at neither.

Has the owner buffaloed!

Kaman:"Neil, can your connections in Hollywood get me a part as the next Bond villain?"
Neil: "Maybe but only if you become a vegan and lose the John Boehner orange spray on tan first."
