Mavs Game Top 10

Ed lucked into four terrific tickets to the Mavs/Suns game last night (6th row behind the Suns bench).  Ed, Eric, Trevor, and I attended.  It was a great game that the Mavs ended up winning 107-97 thanks to some great play by Dirk and Kidd.  Even though the action on the floor was fantastic, it was the off-the-court antics that were the most entertaining.  I have decided to do a recap of the night by highlighting my top ten moments of outing:

10.  Chad Kroeger's brother sitting right in fornt of us.  Seriously, he looked exactly like him.  He was one of the douchiest people I have ever seen.  Oh and his gf had sparkly extensions in here hair.  They were an awful couple.

9.  Seeing Ndamukong Suh sitting courtside behind the basket.  Ed telling me that I pronounced Ndamukong Suh's name wrong.  First of all, 97.5% of the U.S. population can't pronounce his name.  Second, I had consumed a few beers.  Third, Ed acted like he had no idea who I was talking about because I had slightly mispronounced his name.  I mean how many people's names are even close to that?  Whatever, it was cool to see a top NFL draft pick.

8.  Watching Trevor point out all of the hookers in the arena.  I have to say, I was somewhat oblivious to the number of hookers in Dallas.  And if they are not hookers, they are doing a great job of looking and acting like them.  My favorite was the lady sitting courtside and "over-laughing" at every comment the guy made.  Each successive comment would send her into hysterical convulsions.  Highly entertaining.

7.  Mavs Dancers.  Enough said.

6.  Grant Hill trying to "bow-up" to Dirk.  I'm not sure what that was all about.  It seemed really out of character for Grant (you know, because I know him so well).  It inspired a hockey fight type reaction from the crowd. 

5.  Eric making it through Day 1 of his I'm-giving-up-alcohol-for-lint experiment.  I put the over/under at 13 days.  The true test will be St. Patty's Day, if he makes it that far.  Good luck E.  I'm rooting for ya.

4.  Getting to sit that close to Steve Nash.  That guy is awesome.  I could go on and on about why I like Steve Nash but I won't.  Perhaps that will be another blog.  Watching him continue to dominate even though he is 36 has made me seriously consider giving up sugar.  Ok, I considered it.  Life without chocolate chip cookies is not worth living.   

3. Watching Trevor contribute about 50% of all concession sales last night.  This is what he consumed:

• Beer
• Chicken Tacos
• Barbecue Sandwich
• Ice cream

And he begged me to get him another ice cream sundae.  Apparently after assaulting his stomach with this combo, he didn't feel good when we returned home.  Go figure.

2. Ed screaming at Jason Witten as he walked by, "Jason! I love you!"  Jason responded with a half-sincere hand gesture.  No, not that hand gesture.  Jason wouldn't do that to a loyal fan.  Casey opined (via text) that it was a "totally acceptable man love moment."  I agree.

1. Trevor screaming at Billy Gillespie, "Drive me home Billy!"  Billy responded with a much more enthusiatic "Hey, somebody recognized me... and likes me!" wave.  I'm 99.9% sure he didn't hear any of Trevor's numerous references to his DWI charges.  Or maybe he was just too drunk to care.  When someone asked why he was here, trevor responded with, "because someone drove him and offered him free booze."  Nice.

Great night.
