Spree

Is is funny to you that Latrell Sprewell had his yacht repoed? It is extremely funny to me. No not that the dude has fallen on hard times or anything, its just all that goes with Spree and his yacht. Ok first off the dude turns down a 21 million dollar contract claiming that it is an insult and that he has a "family to feed". That is one of the classic lines from an athlete. So now two years later, they are coming for his yacht.

That is pretty funny, but what really throws this over the edge is that the yacht is located in Milwaukee. I mean how many times have you thought, like when you buy a lottery ticket and your really dreaming about high rolling, "man I sure would like to live the high life, maybe build myself a mansion, buy a professional sports team, and ohh yeah buy a yacht and keep it in Milwaukee". What says yacht-living like Milwaukee? I mean I can think of a few places to take a yacht out and Milwaukee is not in the top 800. Milwaukee? Come on your kidding right?

"Dude I just won the lotto, I'm gonna buy a yacht and move to Albuquerque."

"No man, lets do it up big, how about Milwaukee!"

"Yeah man your right, what was I thinking. Milwaukee for sure."

Did I mention the name of the yacht was "Milwaukee's Best"? Man that is some great stuff. Seriously Milwaukee's Best? What about "The Natural....Light" or how about "Keystone Boat". Had Reggie already taken "Miller Time"?

Doesn't Spree seem like a midwest kind of guy? I mean like a nice clean wholesome midwest guy who owns a yacht. I can see that. When I think of Spree I think of yachts, Milwaukee, an PJ Carlesimo.

I don't think one blog is enough for him, I think I should write a book. Actually I have a great idea. I think I should follow Spree around for a year just writing down quotes and then turn it into one of those books you read while in the bathroom. Here is an excerpt from this book:

"I mean, P.J., he could breathe. It's not like he was losing air or anything like that. I mean, it wasn't a choke."

"I wasn't trying to kill P.J."

"If you're choking someone, you don't get scratches, You get welts totally around your neck."

"If you're fearing for your life, you don't just stand there, P.J. did nothing when I grabbed him."

"If you think you're about to die, you would think he would do something about it."

"He didn't stop breathing or anything. He did nothing. I would have let go. I wasn't going to kill him."

I can see that book sitting on my cofee table or in the bathroom, maybe with a picture of PJ and his scratched up neck on the cover. Whats great is that these quotes are from only one small even in the life of this extraordinary individual. What great comments did he have about the five children he has with three different mothers? Or when he was served the papers about the boat? This would be a great quote book, or a good law suit, or even a classic reality show. Eventually all three could be produced out of spending a year with Spree writing down quotes.

Lastly how does the repo company decide who gets to go repo the yacht? I mean how did that whole thing go down? Drawing straws?

"Sorry man you got the shorter straw, you gotta go get Spree's yacht."

"Did you see what he did to PJ?"

"Yeah I saw it, now get your ass down to the Milwaukee Marina and get the yacht."

"Ok I quit."

I'm not sure, but I bet this is how that went down. Thanks Spree, for giving me something to blog about. Can't wait till you give us something more to talk about.
