Gallon Exploring His Options...

Keith "Tiny" Gallon, selected with the No. 47 pick in the second round of the 2010 draft, has not signed a contract yet with Milwaukee.

Oh no, they've discovered my fondness for Twinkies and my "Excuses for Getting Out of Working Out" book. What to do?

"We're exploring all possibilities," Gallon's agent, Mark Cornstein, tells The Journal Times.

Read: I have literally BEGGED the Bucks to keep him. I even tried to get him to make friends with Brandon Jennings, like a LeBron/Boobie, or a Bosh/Jarret Jack thing. And Coby Karl too. He gets cut EVERY freakin' year, then gets picked back up under some non-protection team option in case a better player comes along. That way, he's on the team, and he's not "using up" any D-League time... if he even has any left anyway. Go to Bologna and dunk on "Tiny" already, Coby, geez.

Those possibilities include playing overseas during the upcoming season. He can also sign the non-guaranteed one-year tender from the Bucks if the two sides can't come to terms on a deal.

What kills me is their use of the word "possibilities," as if there are countless opportunites for this "the sky's the limit" young man. EAD, Gallon. Europe. D-League. There's your "possibilities." Come back when you can play more than eight minutes consecutively before needing a pinch runner.

He COULD be a contestant on THE BIGGEST LOSER.

[the_ouskull]

I thought that show was about weight loss. How could Gallon be on that?

[Boomer.....]

Great choices Tiny and TMG.

Great choices Tiny and TMG.

As far as turning pro, they had no other choice to make.

As far as hard work before/during/after their first, final and only season of college ball... um...

[OKC-SLC]

EAD.

heh.

You remember that ridiculous commercial recently of the basketball player traveling with his agent? The one where it's a guy who can't make a basket and is running around and bumping into things all clumsy?

"Mr. Gallon really wants to play for Italy/Hong Kong/insert some random place here".

That's just what it reminds me of. For the life of me I can't even think of what that stupid commercial was for. Think Mastercard.

I remember this one - It was American Airlines. Mark Cuban even appeared in it.

I thought this thread was about a Tiny Gallon sighting at the Golden Corral.

Whats that mean

you_f'inhappy?

Yes always when its you skull

[pilobolus]

Capel should be forced to join Tiny and/or TMG wherever they end up.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

You are saying Capel should have to work at Burger King?

[oudavid1]

LOL^^^^

But seriously, i like Capel and his recruiting skills

[pilobolus]

Seriously, skull needs his own blog or to write for some sports entity, dude has mad skills. Someone needs to bring together some of the good writers on here, like an edition of the best of 04, skull, OLD SOONER, etc.

They could have a big blog thread like I did for womens bball last season... it seemed to bring good luck to the team that wasn't expected to do much after losing the Paris twins to graduation, then Whitney Hand to an injury that should just forever be known on among sooner fans affectionately as a "Jason White." Think what an 04/skull/et al blog could do for this team that just lost three mickie d AA's!

Speaking of, wouldn't it be ironic if Mickie D ended up being the final working place of Tiny or TMG? Ah, but I should joke, because I really do wish them well and know that it will be incredibly difficult for them now that they might not have a pro ball future with much earning potential.

All the potential in the world can't turn dumb smart. Only work can.
