Quote of the day, from NBA "analyst," Jamal Mashburn, this morning on ESPN, after telling a fairly bad joke ...

"With all seriousness aside ..."

That folks, is some sort of combination of "In all seriousness," and "All kidding aside."

Tracy McGrady, whose been hurt and struggling since the end of the season, had a big Game 5 against Utah Tuesday night. After they showed highlights of the game, Mashburn told a joke about how he could have used McGrady's pain medication toward the end of his own career. At least I think that's what he said. I've lost some short-term memory after repeatedly slamming the front door on my right temple.
