Birdman Set to Soar...for Supes?

Categories: Sonics

You know what the Sonics need? An athletic interior shot-blocker. You know who could fill that role? Robert Swift, circa 2005. You know who's not going to fill that role? Wild Boddy Ginger, circa now, a crippled, yoked-out version of his former self who resembles Conan O'Brien in drag. So what to do? Sign Chris Andersen, that's what. Dubbed "the Birdman" for his distinction as possibly the most athletic Caucasian ever to don a New Orleans Hornets uniform (awesome tribute video here), Andersen, the only Blinn College alum ever to play in the NBA, will soon be eligible for reinstatement after serving a two-year suspension for violating the league's drug policy. If Andersen makes it back and sticks for more than one season, he'll have surpassed Roy Tarpley's 55-game barrier for longest comeback by a former drug offender in league history. You know what else? Once Michael Vick gains his release from prison, he should be allowed back in the NFL. There, I said it.
