Chalk Talk

Danny Ferry, General Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, addressess season ticket holders. Great timing! Yesterday, he orchestrated a 3-team trade that radically changed the identity of the team. Insightful. Interesting. Except the annoying man next to me keeps whistling for the microphone and making (NOT VERY) smart remarks.


The Funny in this event? The first season ticket holder to stand up and ask a question didn't ask about basketball or the players or the recent huge, block-busting 3-team trade that changed the face of the Cavaliers. No, she asked why, when there are inconveniently enormous lines for all of the other elevators, must there be a reserved therefore and almost never used elevator for the media? The crowd went silent, Danny Ferry's jaw dropped, and as he tried to answer something that was arena operations (and therefore WELL out of his area) Rick asked me if it was his imagination, or was it really possible if that crazy woman was his ex-wife? Given the mumblings and rumblings of the rest of the season ticket holders, I imagine that was a lot of what they were wondering too. Nutjob.

Everyone else asked questions about basketball.
