Donuts: One-On-One With Quinton Ross

     Friday Morning Donuts: If you hate my work on DallasBasketball.com, you’ll really hate me in stereo today on 103.3 ESPN Radio, hosting in place of Michael Irvin from 11-2 … it’s "FISH For Lunch’’!

    Oh yeah. Donuts! The Rashard suspension … my one-on-one conversation with new Mav Quinton Ross (the podcast is up at ESPN and the kid doesn’t run away from the “Bruce Bowen Starter Kit’’ question …  Big Baby’s babyish tweets … Stackhouse in NY ... and who wants Ron Artest’s phone number?

     DONUT 1: Coming up shortly today: Our David Lord tries to take all the hints we’ve got regarding “The Buck Shot,’’ tries to piece together some solutions … and tries to not be too disappointed with the results. …

     DONUT 2: LeBron speaks about confiscating the video. Hurry up and read it before Nike confiscates the interview.

     DONUT 3: For a good time, call 832-260-8192. That's Ron Artest's phone number and he’s using it to promote a record or something. From what I gather it’s really his number. Call it and lemme know how it works out. Oh, and if Shin Shin answers, tell her hi.

     DONUT 4: The Minnesota media is falling out of love with Kurt Rambis before they've even had their first date.

     DONUT 5: From Devean George: “I still got a lot left in me. …’’

     DONUT 6: The sports world is having a difficult time adjusting to the platform that is Twitter. At some point, somebody will realize that it’s just a tiny typewriter, is all. But also having a difficult time adjusting: Some of its users, who don’t seem to understand this: There are some conversations a person has with the world at-large, in public, out in the open. There are other conversations one has with one’s self. In the car. In the shower. Inside the privacy of one’s own head.

     Big Baby Davis’ tweets demonstrate his lack of understanding of the difference.

     DONUT 7: Orlando finally gets some bad offseason news: Rashard Lewis took Dehydroepiandrosterone. I can’t pronounce it. But I know he’s not supposed to take it.

     DONUT 8: New York isn't especially excited about Stack's tryout with the Knicks. Marc Berman of the New York Post: "Not sure which is the bigger Knick story today. ... Jerry Stackhouse ... or a Guinness record-setting 200-pound matzoh ball ...''

     DONUT 9: I know something else: Rashard knows he’s not supposed to take it. Right? Or, at least, shouldn’t he know? This isn’t the first time an NBA players has been busted for Dehydropiawhatever. … The athlete’s body is a temple … yeah, yeah, you’re sorry. You’re sorry. But I’m not stupid.

     DONUT 10: So what’s the overall impact? A 10-game suspension to start the year. And as Skeets points out, the Magic's first 10 games are: PHI, NJ (2), TOR, DET (2), PHO, OKC, CHA and CLE. “They drop, what, two or three games at the most?’’ asks Skeets.

     DONUT 11: Instant updates on the Mavs and whatnot from DB.com are available at twitter.com/fishsports

     DONUT 12: Did I mention I’m on the radio today? Hosting 11-2 on 103.3 ESPN!
