I agree. So much success for something that barely works.

How many times did Kentucky go to the Final 4 for something that 'barely
worked'??? 

I'd love to have that success rate for something that 'barely worked'.
If I had it, then I'd be in the NBA just like Rick and I would be in the
position to trade or draft for a lot of my ex-stars, which there are
plenty of players from.

Mashburn, Walker, Chapman, Mercer, Anderson, etc, etc. 

Barely worked?

FOOEY to you too!
