Off to Comic-Con...

by Andrew Feinstein on Jul 23, 2008 1:01 AM MDT

(And no, that's not me in the picture).

I probably shouldn't be mentioning this on a sports-themed blog, but unlike Nuggets management I pride myself on being transparent and upfront with those who support me. So here it goes...

I'm taking off tomorrow for the annual San Diego Comic-Con International and it will be my - eeeek! - eighth Comic-Con in a row (if you don't know what Comic-Con is, go to YouTube).

For those of you who have followed this blog since its inception, you know that when I'm not skewering George Karl or Mark Warkentien, I actually have a real job as a syndicated cartoonist and animation producer. I go to "the Con" each year to promote my comic strip and animated shorts project "Girls & Sports," see friends and colleagues from the industry, and sign a few autographs. Very few, by the way, as the Comic-Con crowd aren't exactly into sports...or girls.

So unless big Nuggets news breaks this week, I probably won't resume consistent blogging until Sunday. I can promise you one thing in the meantime, though: I will be the only person at Comic-Con wearing a Nuggets T-shirt.

Comic-Con's are awesome. While I've never been to the grand-daddy of them all there in SD, I know that this is the biggest collection of sluggo's, Trekkies, Star War's geeks, and sloth's with enough money to get there. Maybe the SD convention is different, but it's like the events that a whole bunch of celebrities attend (because they get paid) and regret every minute of as they stare at the clock and answer questions about who their favorite characters are from Deep Space Nine and Mork and Mindy, or if they'll be in the sequel to Space Camp.

Andrew, you'll probably be asked by a Wookie about a dozen times when the Adam West signing will take place. But I'm sure you know that already.

I wonder if xnuggets fan knows what a period is. Obviously he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is a tool, that's for sure. Anyway for the first time I saw "Girls & Sports" (I think that's what it's called) and I have to say it was damn funny. Props Andrew. Have fun at the convention and post up A.S.A.P. so we REAL Nugs fans have some good stuff to read.

Xnuggetsfan, why in the world would you come to a Nuggets fan blog? You've got nothing of value to add and if you're not a fan why bother huh?
Just about evryone that posts here is upset with the team's current standing and FO, but we get over it and look forward to next season. Go and buy yourself a new purple jersey and root for Kobe the turd. And when you get tired of that team when Kobe retires in a few years go and find another bandwagon to ride.

And oh yeah, check your illiterate ass back into a GED program for god's sake. And put the bottle down you write like you've been drinking, it's just basket ball, not the Stock Market.

I love it when people get their panties in a bunch over some 9 year old posting with horrible grammar.

So back to some type of relevant discussion, does anyone else think Cisco Elson would have had more value defensively? I really thought he'd be a better addition than Birdman, though the price tag would probably have been higher...

by Anonymous on Jul 24, 2008 4:12 PM MDT reply actions

Anonymous: Cisco and Birdman both = insignificant either way we played it. Birdman was a wasted signing IMO unless we're REALLY gonna run the floor this year... I mean REALLY. I don't think he'll be worth a damn in a set offense and his rebounding is probably going to be the only plus he brings us...

Oh by the way Andrew, don't shake too many hands at Comic-Con, I forgot to also chime in that it's probably the biggest annual collection of booger pickers on the planet! Sluggo booger pickers... eeeew!

great, another stiff back on trash heap. Can we not find anyone that will actually improve this team? And why are Laker Tards trolling Nugget boards? Go write Tard essays on your own crappy team's board.

Have a good time Andrew, I'm off to PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) next month so I can't talk.

by Lord Sam on Jul 25, 2008 11:40 AM MDT reply actions

Birdman is great at running the floor, and no one, i mean no one, crashes the boards like that guy, especially on the offensive side. The way i look at it is this, we got a skinny center who is a decent rebounder and shot blocker who can't post up his man, really can only be helpful in weakside defense and can't buy a mid-range jumper. If you ask me it sounds like we got camby back but for a whole lot cheaper. Besides we all know the nuggets are going to do one thing this year which is run,run,run, so I personally like the addition, more than cisco anyways, that guy always looked like he had no idea what was going on in the offense. Oh yeah, xnuggets fan go eat a dick, kobe's dick, you might get a couple million dollar cash settlement out of it if you're lucky!

And to all of you, I present the typical Lakers 'fan'. Someone who just jumps on after quitting on another team. Typical Lakers fan.

by Jack on Jul 27, 2008 1:52 AM MDT reply actions

Typical Nuggets move. Get rid of the only 2 guys who are descent human beings and appriciate actually being in the NBA (Najera & Camby) and replace them with a guy who has been out of the league for 2 years for drugs. Great. But hey at least he found a place he where he will fit in.

Hey Mr. Denver Stiff! There are rumors Iverson is headed to Chicago? Could you give a HUGE AI fan the lowdown? Thanks!

according to [url=http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/ny-spknix285780524jul28,0,7410321.story]this website[/url]

the nuggets are apparently negotiating a deal to get renaldo balkman from new york in exchange for taurean green and bobby jones.

i say HECK YES! go for it.

I don't see the Nuggets making the move for Balkman. Jones and Green both have non-guaranteed contracts that will expire by the end of next month. Balkman is in the third year of his guaranteed rookie contract and will be making too much money for the Nuggets to take a risk on him. Balkman was way over-rated when he was drafted. Since then, his value has dropped and he had a terrible year last year. I look for the Nuggets to sign another first year minimum player to fill the remaining roster spot(s).

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
