I'm still saucy at Henry Abbott for not giving me any love for the heads up on the Benicio Del Toro-Portland Trailblazer T-Shirt on the Colbert Report, but he is the institution of basketball blogging, and did alert me to a fellow who is running a fantastic grassroots campaign out of our nation's capital:
Ernie Gone is an effort to bring an end to the madness of the Ernie Grunfeld era for the Washington Wizards. Much to the chagrin of the entire freedarko crew, most likely, EG has been doing an egregious job of putting together a roster: one of the highest payrolls in the NBA is struggling to break the 20 win plateau this season.
To make things interesting, an anonymous angry fan got his shit together and started printing t-shirts for interested parties to put on. He was offering them for free, but then got over 3,000 hits thanks to señor Abbott over at ESPN. He did take the time to respond personally to my request, and so I will return the favor and post his message.
I put some options up on Cafe Press. They aren't free, but this is the best I can do. Cafe Press makes the money, not me.
Fire Ernie is at http://www.cafepress.com/ErnieGone
All Ernie's Fault is at http://www.cafepress.com/AllHisFault
and a more generic option Want a New GM is at http://www.cafepress.com/WantNewGM
If you have any better ideas, please let me know.
