Frostbite....in Phoenix...in August


Athletes often take icebaths, so this is actually a good one. *Amber Cox reaches for her notepad*


Baseball player Rickey Henderson went on the disabled list for a case of frostbite that he got in August. He reportedly fell asleep on an icepack. So that excuse is sort of an homage to him.

And Elizabeth Cambage provides us with another gem: missed her flight. I hope she got stuck in traffic and didn't miss it because she got caught up in duty-free shopping.

Again, I said walking freaking Ebola. This thread is two pages long of people coming up with excuses. That's the name of the thread. I didn't come up with that shit, yet caune whines about a Jordan and Ebola comment. If you're that sensitive, how about stay out of the thread that reads "The Diana Taurasi "Excuse of the Game" Game" thread. Seriously, that would probably save one frustration.


I don't know who Ebola is, might have been the same for Caune Laughing Laughing

So I wouldn't get it. Also..not everyone has been joking in the thread..

Like I said, it's probably more the fact that there's a god knows how many page thread bitching about Taurasi and the Mercury that probably makes people boil over.

Not a big deal, just giving you the other side..

Has anyone mentioned her dog? Surely if a dog can eat homework, a dog can eat sneakers or game plans or something?

Where I got hung up was that the ebola was Jordan's, not Dianas, so I assumed he was just using exaggeration when mentioning Jordans flu Rolling Eyes

Seriously, you've never heard of Ebola? It is a rather serious virus often seen in Africa with a 50-90% fatality rate depending on the type. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease

I thought surely everyone had heard of Ebola. It was the disease in the movie Outbreak. It was the disease at the beginning of the movie And The Band Played On (about HIV & AIDS). They just had an Ebola outbreak in Africa last week. It's a pretty well known scary ass disease.

There's DEFINITELY no such thing as walking Ebola. Most people drop dead from it within a week's time. Among some of it's more disturbing symptoms is you bleed from your body orifices.

back to excuses.....
did I read D only had 'a wisdom tooth' removed? As in singular....so, if done one at a time, we have a handful more games for her to miss! We haven't heard 'dry socket' in relationship to the prior wisdom tooth removal, so that could add a day or two to recovery of potential future extractions.....plenty of options remaining on the wisdom tooth excuse Wink

Did the Tooth Fairy happened to resemble Jessica Davenport?

Hey, the tooth fairy started it with that insulting dime she left under her pillow. I'd be pissed too. The tooth fairy is a dirty little instigator, but of course the person who retaliates always gets the blame Rolling Eyes

Oh please ... in these days of 32oz sodas do you know how much a good quality tooth goes for on the open market? The tooth fairy is not only raking it in, but is also using those ridiculous income tax loopholes for non-humans to keep virtually her entire revenue as profit. I'm not buying her sob story for one minute.

Linkmaster P strikes again. Nice find!

In Diana's case though she could realistically claim "It's my mouth and I use it constantly when I play"

And, as we know, certain swear words hurt the mouth to say more than others.
