Ok, enough with the Lin puns already.

The Game Room
1

All of the Lin puns are ruining the sports world right now. We got it, you can substitute Lin anywhere you see “in”. Very clever. It’s reached the point now that any sports writer who has a Lin pun in his article or worse, in the title, comes across as a hack.

And just when I thought things couldn’t get more annoying I see people referring to “Chink in the armor” now that they lost. Who thought THAT was a good idea?

It’s a foregone conclusion that this thread will be fully populated with Lin puns now.

Could we keep “Linsanity” and discard the rest?

Just wait until every hears about the newest sensation, Gary Reallygoodatbasketball.

That’s in reference to a headline that ESPN put up (and quickly pulled down).

Someone who has been updating his or her resume in a very big hurry. And yes, the Lin puns were exhausted days ago. Now that they lost a game, I guess it’ll die down some.

SNL had a pretty good sketch about all the Lin jokes last night:

That would be adding Linsult to Linjury.

7

If his favorite operating system were Unix, then everybody would start calling it Linux.

8

Being tired of Lin puns so early in the game demonstrates a pronounced lack of Lintestinal fortitude.

9

But it has really become a total Linfestation…

10

Without a pun, this post would be Lincomplete.

11

These are all Lincredibly lame puns!

12

I know I wasn’t exactly making a bold prediction upthread, but just to confirm, ESPN fired one person and suspended another for their… yes, I think I have to say it… Linsensitivity.

13

The puns have, indeed, become linfuriating.

Also, in regards to the chink in the armor thing, wasn’t there a similar headline a few years ago referencing USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow? There was a minor hubbub, but I don’t recall anyone losing a job over it. Granted, the country never experienced a level of Chowtrageousnous that approached linsanity.

You want Lintense pain? You should have been in Chicago when the Bulls were winning titles, and were variously saluted as Unstoppa-bull, Unbeata-bull, Incredi-bull, Unbelieva-bull, Impossi-bull, and even Invulnera-bull. It made my bowels feel very shitta-bull.
