Outlet Pass (10/6/08)

• This can only be a good thing. I truly mean that. I'm not so sure why officials and diehard fans alike have qualms about the expanded use of video replay (i.e. the early backlash against its use in baseball), but for the proposed uses it can only be awesome.
• I'm not quite sure what Moore's problem is, but he's kinda screwing up this blogging thing for the rest of us. When I signed up for this gig, I was under the impression it would only consist of cowering behind a keyboard, spewing opinion pieces, and generally sitting in some sort of basement. Interviews? I'm not sure that's for us bloggers to do, y'know. That whole access thing...bah humbug! (+1 for Jeff Potter though, and his internet savvy)
• On a similar note, Posting and Toasting has had some nice video of training camp. Question though: if you have extremely short hair, and I'm talking a few centimeters tops, why would you be that reserved about shaving your head? There are some things in this world I will never understand.
  
• Pretty big news that's been tossed and thrown about in the rumor mill for a little while now: Shaun Livingston is now a Heatman, giving them four, that's right, FOUR point guards capable of battling for minutes. Livingston and Chalmers obviously won't be immediate starters, but is it out of the question that either contends for that role mid-season if their play is strong enough? Or if Marcus Banks is Marcus Banksy enough? Stay tuned! (If this little two-year experiment actually pans out for Miami, things could be getting very scary for the rest of the league...)
• I'm not sure what to believe about Jamaal Tinsley anymore. He's going to Denver. He's not going to Denver. He's going Monday. He's not going...ever. I don't blame the Nuggets for pulling the old takesies-backsies on the deal, but can we get a good, honest resolution already?
• Requisite weekly Musselman link: Something truly shocking -- Ricky Davis, with a quote you would never believe would be attributed to Ricky Davis. He's selfish, he's not a winner, blah blah blah. But he's saying all the right things as a member of the Clips.
• Ben Gordon finally signed his qualifying offer. I don't even care anymore. OK, I do, but I think we've all said everything we need to say on the subject. Except this: Ben Gordon is a giant douche.
