assistant: You really don't like the Sonic's huh?  But whatever.  O.k, I thought that
Shaq  improved his free throws after Magic Johnson worked with him.  I mean
isn't that right.   He got hurt and while he was out Magic helped him out.
  Why don't you like Payton?  All he's done is be a rock for the Sonics and
get married!
   I didn't know there was a book all about NBA stuff.  But come to think of
it I think that Drew has a book like that.  Who is the book biased to.  Or
who does it favor?  I mean Iwouldn't mind if it were focused on like the old
Celtics or something, but I can't stand all this stuff about the Bulls bein
the best team in history.
   If you don't like Shaq then who do you like on the Lakers?  It sounds to
me like you're more into the Bulls then the Lakers.
    There's just somethin about Pippen that kinda rubs the wrong way.  My
sister loves the guy.  But He and Rodman are, well Rodman is just weird.
You probably like him huh?   That would figure.  We just don't agree on
anything.
  I think that the Sonics made a big mistake signing Jim Mac.  Especially if
he keeps playin the minutes that he did this season!  He's good at blockin
shots but that's about all I remember.  You probably disagree with all I just
wrote down so this is really very pointless.  Very very pointless.  I keep
gettin all tong tied. But you are very impressive.

assistant: Where are you at?  I mean.   I gotta tell you.  Your Toronto Jays just got
one helluva outfielder.  I love Cruz.  It's not fair that they traded him.
Did you see it?  He was sooooo sad.  Don't laugh or anythin, but I like
cried.  SSSSHHH!! But I mean it's not as bad as if they had traded like Joey
or Alex or Jr. or somethin.  Today when the game came on I was like livid.  I
like hissed (not on purpose) when they showed the new pitchers.  Then tonight
I exploded at this Jay's fan who was in a chat room on AOL and was dissin the
M's for tradin him.  Poor guy was like pathetic.
    So what are ya up 2?  I mean how's summer comin' for ya?  Mine is good.
My friends all are here. At least for now.  And only 1 can I talk yo about
Cruz and his trade 'cause all my girls friends are like "yeah he was cute.
Too bad."  But then Adam.  He's so funny.  He like talked to me about it.
And then started to shear me up.  There's this inside joke w/ me and Adam.
This on time I was talkin to him about who was cuter.   (Adam was teasinfg
me.  He ALWAYS does that.) And then I said somethin about Jr.'s butt.  And
Adam thought that was the funniest thing.  So the next game we watched
together, Adam taped.  And he played back griffey runnin and.... Oh it was
sooooo funny.  So I think that good player for the Raptor's is Wiliams or
Stoudamire. Or somethin like that.  If I'm wrong don't be mad.  I'm terrible
with names.  Ask Ed Grinnell.   He caught me messin up and sayin that the
Texas Catcher (Rodriguez) played for Atlanta.  Woops.  Gotta Go.

assistant: I hear stuff at work all the time.  But they are very rarely true.  Like once
I heard that I was in love with my boss.  Uh-uh.   But I'm not sayin that
college makes a person smart or dumb or anything.  I'm just sayin that in
high school you don't learn a lot about any kind of law, unless you take a
buisness/law class.  I did and it was very very complicated. Hard to
comprhend and I was in the top 5 percential in the school.  definatley not
for my spelling though.
My friend Brian was stopped somewhere on his way back from California and Sam
Perkins signed three autographs for him.  One was for me.  I was so extatic I
almost squeezed all the air out of Brian I was huggun' him so hard.  Big Sam
has always been one of my favorites.  But one thing I don't get is why Payton
charges for his signature.  Aparantly it's well known that he does, but my
friends little girl, Sarah, cutest little thig, asked him for his autograph
and I guess they didn't pay, but still.
   I'm a little out of it today.  I can't get over the M's trading Cruz.
That sucks royally.  I mean nobody expected it.  Not even Lou, and he's the
manager so he shoulda known like first.  So......

Canadian team. Now if we could only get Gretzky back...

it looks like he could play as long as Gordie Howe. The only thing that could
end Messier's career is probably an injury. Wouldn't it be sad for Vancouver
if Messier got a career ending injury on his first regular season game with
the Canucks.
