OT: Sidd Finch in transfer portal

[QDOG5]

Guy once made 300 consecutive 3's in practice. Can hedge out on guards and recover in the lane without fouling. He can screen and rock and screen and roll. He once took a quarter off the top of the backboard and left bitcoin. I can't find any film of him on Youtubes. He was at Harvard but left before the first practice. Last I heard he was dominating the Tibetan league. Finch and Clingan, a man can dream.

Past your bedtime?

Much like an 18 year old boy looking at his first Hustler, you blew your load a bit too soon. 9 days early.

And it wasn't even good. Should've included a special Timberland boot for one foot and noting his indecision on whether to play hoops or bassoon. Also would've been useful to call him Hayden Finch Jr. and not give away the gag in the header. Lots of older folk here who remember that Plimpton masterpiece.

I'm always down for a quality hoax but you mailed this one in.

Makes for a curious case that he did this. No foolin'

EDIT: Now that I've read the other complaints, I do want to offer that the Bitcoin on the backboard was worthy, and the disappointment lies in knowing you've got it in you to do better.

Ironically, "Past your bedtime?" could be the best Comment. . .just not as intended.

Past your bedtime is hilarious (and true).
18 year old looking at first Hustler should have been 13 year old
Absolutely one of my poorer efforts and that list is long.
My apologies to all.

Hey you've got 9 days to get this right

Yi Jianlian, former Nets star, successfully defended a chair in practice. Could see if he is thinking about going back to school?

Novelist Jonathan Dee, who was working as Plimpton's assistant at the time, described Plimpton at the time of the writing of the article as "a wreck". Dee wrote years later, "Nothing, he knew, falls quite so flat as a bad joke.
This alone is reason enough for me not to try it again. Hopefully someone more talented and sober(not that I ever blame my friend booze) can salvage this beast.

His father, Sidd Finch Sr., pitched for the Mets in the '80s:

The Curious Case Of Sidd Finch

He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga—and his future in baseball.

And probably half of this board has no idea about this joke.

Generational humor line in the sand.

He played QB for the Lions.

He played QB for the Lions.

And a psychiatrist in Good Will Hunting.

He was a pretty good pitcher back in the day. Did not realize he was a two sport athlete.

You have no idea. I'm a lifelong Mets fan. Keep in mind, at that point there was no internet. It was the nightly news and Sportscenter and publications like The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated for your information. That said? They sunk the Sidd Finch hook deep into my lip and I was bragging about it to all of my friends about it immediately.

I've never been hoodwinked like that before or after. But Plimpton sure did get me on that one.

I was talking about not having any idea about seeing your first Hustler mag as a teen, but I guess as a Mets fan, you were too busy grieving over you team and waiting for the next Tom Terrific.

I was waiting for the money line, and then it popped.

Umm, Sidd Finch could throw 168 mph.
