Dear David Stern,

Thank you. Wait, did I say "thank you"? What I really meant to say was SCREW you. My bad. You, in your infinite wisdom, (in the words of one expert commentator) "pretty much went ahead and took the Pacers season and lit it on fire." I expect the fans in Detroit will be sending you a thank-you card any day now.

(up) Yours,
jdm
