I accidentally posted this to the Red Sox mailing list ... oops.

 "There are some interesting comments from Tim ''We Hardly Knew Ye'' Duncan
>in the latest edition of ESPN Magazine. Out of the box, Duncan is asked by
>Dan Patrick if there are any teams he is glad did not draft him. Duncan's

>Whoa. We can all understand the Clippers. But the Celtics? We tried to get

>Babby.  Asked about the comment, Babby said, ''I'm off the hook here because
>I came on board after San Antonio got the pick. But I think it might have

>Duncan said he was never a fan of Jordan. Why? ''Because everybody else is.
>I don't like Michael Jordan. I respect Michael Jordan. There really isn't
>anyone in the world I'm that impressed with.''

>>WHAT A PUNK! WHAT A SNOTTY PUNK!! I can just hear Bob Ryan now. Imagine if
>Antoine had said that about Jordan??

>>Speaking of Antoine, here's more from May:"[David] Falk, meanwhile, said he

>>That's good news, in my opinion, but considering what just happened across

>(hey, just asking: think Duncan might be glad he didnt get Greened because
>he didnt want El Pitino screaming at him for 82 games?)
