Another fascinating Dan Carlin's Common Sense today.
First item was the notion that 1979 was the key year whose repercussions are still being felt today. Abdication of the Shah? Russian invasion of Afghanistan? Saddam gains power in Iraq? Mujaheddin armed by the CIA?
Powerful idea.
Second item is the notion that the obesity/diabetes epidemic, in the end, may save the government money by killing off people (like, for example, me) early.
More big news from the NBA, as the Big Aristotle heads out west in return for Shawn Marion. I'm a little surprised Miami got away with this, as Shaq is clearly on the downside. I guess Phoenix figures they can get 20-25 good minutes out of him, and his toughness and size will help them get past Timmy.
I don't see it. Tim is too mobile to be all that bothered by Shaq. Sure, he's death in the low post, but Tim will shoot 15 footers over him all night long.
It's a great deal for Miami, as they get out from under an onerous contract, and they have a fighting chance in a year or two to resign Wade and actually put a team around him.
