RE: MELONHEAD

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

This is some argument. It's supposed to be 
to Antoine's discredit that Larry Bird voted 
him on the All-Star team instead of the know-nothing,
ballot-stuffing, jumbotron-preening fans?  Your argument
is getting into bizarro-world territory.  

I will grant you that Antoine is on borrowed time to produce,
though.
