David Stern’s interview with WFAN on Thursday actually made me laugh. The whole “NBA lockout could last until Christmas” thing stabbed at my heart, but the rest was just … funny. Like a Shakespearean comedy, where the audience is in on the joke.

I mean, does The Commish not sound like a parody of himself at this point? I kept waiting for Frank Caliendo to break character and slip into some Charles Barkley to mindlessly agree with Stern, or some John Madden to liven up the affair. Stern continues to pound the points dozens of writers have blown apart like dandelions. (A few weeks ago, when asked if he could see the framework of a deal in the league’s negotiations with the players’ union, Stern dismissively joked that he’d leave that to the “bloggers.” That sad thing is that bloggers representing each side could have had this deal done months ago in a form that I assure you will look similar to what we’ll eventually get.)
