Are the mushrooms still working ?
January 3, 2008 by Julien
I’m just back from my one week trip to Amsterdam and now that I know everything that has happened while I was gone, I wonder who’s been trying mushrooms ?
It all started when I found out Turkish icon Ibo Kutluay had done another crazy TV ad left Turkish powerhouse Ulker Fenerbahce for PAOK Thessaloniki, a team that does not play in the Euroleague, struggles in Greek League and has a history of not paying his players on time. Why such a totally irrational move ? To postpone and reduce his military service.
I came back right on time to watch the 4 games that were supposed to be broadcasted on Euroleague TV yesterday. Except people who live in France -which I’m doing right now - are not allowed to watch a game that takes place on the French territory. What kind of rule is that ?
It would have saved my evening if the other games were actually working but that you already know if you read Christophe’s ire post…
So basically I spent the night finding out crazy things like Beyonce and Kanye West playing Connect 4 ?!? (And Beyonce killing Kanye 9-1). Or that Radiohead recorded a New Year’s Eve concert in a small studio and put it on line for free. And there’s already close to 200,000 views on Youtube in 3 days… It has very little to do with basketball guys…but at least you got something to do tonight in case the Euroleague website goes Servor Error again.

[...] Crazy like Ibo Kutluay, the best shooter Gary Payton has ever seen and a living legend in Turkey. Make sure you check this ad. Kutluay decided to leave Turkey to sign for a mediocre Greek team. Need I say Greeks and Turks are not the best friends in the world ? But the best thing in that story is the reason why he left Turkey : to delay and shorten his military service… [...]
