Swish, or Nothing But Rimshot
The greatest player in the history of the NBA.
Hey, wasn't there some big brawl in the NBA a while back? Oh yeah, there was: last year, on December 16th, 2006. Stantis finally gets around to making a "joke" about it. Next up: he predicts the Tigers will beat the Cards in 4 games.
Personally I think the NBA is about as real as pro wrestling. They should follow the WWE's example and start referring to it as "sports entertainment" instead of professional basketball. What, you don't think it's rigged? And Hulk Hogan won all those matches without the benefit of steroids or a script. And Michael Jordan "retired" for those two years instead of being suspended for his gambling problems.
Of course it's perfect that Stantis runs this comic today. Wouldn't somebody working with him say, "Um, isn't that Super Bowl Sunday? Why not make a joke about that?" Nope. Maybe the people working with him are also trying to help put this strip out of its misery.
As for the Big Game, I say take the Bears and the points. Personally I think the Colts will win (yes, I know, I can already hear the Chicago Shrubville readers booing and hissing) but I don't think they can cover the spread. 31-27 Colts, but if the Colts win it on a Vinatieri a field goal then the NFL might as well hire Randy "Macho Man" Savage as their next commissioner.
