While We’re Waiting is the awesome business that we share with you in order to get you pumped for the day.  This is what I have for you this fine Saturday morning.  Have something you think we’d want to see?  Hit us up with an email to our tip drill, link is up… and to the right.

Delonte’s got a hip pointer, but it’s not stopping him from starting Game 6.  “There’s an ugly bruise curling around Delonte West’s right side above his hip, but he insists it looks worse than it feels.  He also insists he’ll be ready to play tonight in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Orlando Magic.”

All the stars flocked to see both of our buildings LeBron (though I think Bill is the only one old enough to remember VJ Day) – “The celebrity-studded crowd at The Q for the fifth game of the Eastern Conference finals Thursday night included A-Rod (boos from the crowd), former Indians ace and current Yankee CC Sabathia (more boos than cheers), Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (so many boos it’s like nobody remembers he is from Findlay and Miami of Ohio), along with Indians Travis Hafner, Jhonny Peralta and Carl Pavano (cheers), and Browns Shaun Rogers (bigger cheers) and Brady Quinn (V-J Day).”  [Bill Livingston/Cleveland Plain Dealer]

About those boos… “Not surprisingly, they were booed rather lustily by the Q crowd. We should stop doing this, and the Q should stop encouraging it. If famous millionaires want to come to Cleveland to spend their money here, have a good time and watch some basketball, we should welcome them, as long as they’re not being jerks. In fact, we should welcome anyone on these terms who wants to do this…Don’t make decent people not want to come to Cleveland”. [Cleveland Frowns]

A little Indy 500 recap from Ya Boi Titus – maybe I’ll tie some leaves to the ceiling and see if I can get some action… ‘There’s a bit that Jim Gaffigan does about holidays that almost exactly captures the collective attitude of the turn three infield at the Indy 500. I’m fully aware that most of you are too lazy to click on the links, so I’ll just tell you that there’s a line in which he mocks how Americans rationalize their overeating during holidays. “I normally don’t have a burger, a brat, and a steak, but it is the Fourth of July…” In a similar manner, people in the infield have the attitude that “I usually wouldn’t bong three beers in a row while my pants are at my ankles, but this is the Indy 500…”’ [Club Trillion]

Lastly, a debate we’ve all had in our minds comes to fruition – whose suits are worse, Craig Sager or Don Cherry?  [Complex.com]
