A brief list of things I will do if Al Horford averages 24 and 16 this season

by hawksdawgs on Oct 29, 2009 1:52 PM EDT

Get a tattoo of this picture on my left calf.
Go from hating to strongly disliking the Florida Gators.
Apply for media credentials and attempt to kiss Al Horford on the mouth. I will call it the anti-Frado kiss.
Instead of saying God bless you when someone sneezes. I will say "God bless you and Al Horford already does."
Go on a decently strong campaign to knock out either 3 or 7 and make 15 a holy number.
My first boy...Al. My first girl....Horfina.

Are you thinking

tongue or no tongue with the kiss?

by marvin's ladies of the night on Oct 29, 2009 1:56 PM EDT reply actions

no tougue

but definitely both hands on the cheeks.

you have to though to pull off the reverse Frado.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 29, 2009 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions

I think you should

at least go from “hands on cheeks” to a gentle rub of the head as the kiss ends

If Al averages 24 and 16 this year...

I will find a way to use him as an example in EVERY history lecture for all of next year…. and make him an answer on multiple tests

I think Alberta may

send a better message to the boys in preschool than Horfina…just sayin…

lets be honest

with the power of the horford legacy. guys will ask permission to sit next to her.

Fred Pen

Safe Bet

Here is a list of players who have done that since 1989-90 season:

You have to go back to 1978-79 and Moses Malone to find someone who hit the mark.

So basically

If he can continue to shoot about 64.7%, he should be a lock.

by Bronn on Oct 29, 2009 2:37 PM EDT up reply actions

Im pretty sure

im pretty sure that kiss or a child being named Horfina his honor would scare Al from averaging 24 and 16.
Message to Al: pls dnt average 24 and 16! average 24.5 and 16!LOL

I'm anxiously awaiting Al Horford's Twitter response to this.

by Bronn on Oct 29, 2009 2:53 PM EDT reply actions

I will have female reproductive parts surgically implanted in me

So I can have his babies.

Who am I kidding? I’d do that for 15/8.

The list of things I'd do if Al avg 24 and 16

is long and inappropriate and shouldn’t be mentioned in front of others.

by Co Co on Oct 29, 2009 4:15 PM EDT reply actions

There's no 24 and 16 qualifier to that I'm betting :-)

by The Human Highlight Blog on Oct 29, 2009 5:09 PM EDT up reply actions

WHat about... 26 and 19?

by FlyYouFalcons on Oct 29, 2009 5:38 PM EDT reply actions

That's like 2 Michael Cages

And my heart can’t take that!

Daughter's name

Dude, i dont think you should name your daughter Hor….just sayin

by CoxXx on Oct 29, 2009 7:51 PM EDT reply actions

I think...

You should grow your facial hair to just like Al. A thin mustache and a peach fuzz beard!

The NBA where bad facial hair happens…

by thirdfALCON on Oct 29, 2009 8:17 PM EDT reply actions

I think it may be the power of the half beard...

As shown with Zaza, a half beard is the modern day incarnation of Samson’s long hair.

The Gators

Really??

by Rebel33322 on Oct 29, 2009 8:33 PM EDT reply actions

What do you say

to properly execute the anti-Frado kiss? “I know it was you, you fixed my heart”?

by coachkcastellon on Oct 29, 2009 10:35 PM EDT reply actions

i think you nailed it.

Al and his big night

All kidding aside Woody prepared Al for this explosion. He talked about giving him more attempts and has through preseason.

If you have followed my comments (Mostly at AJC) I have talked about offense balance and the need for more front court shot attempts for a year and one half. (KevinA)

This team, with Woody, will trend towards a dominant back court. Lets face it, this is how we got this far. But with the emergence of Al and the strong play of Josh – those days are coming to an end. Some call this speculation but I call it about time.

by RivBoatGambler on Oct 30, 2009 4:10 AM EDT reply actions

could not agree more

i have been calling for more front court touches for years.

i will get nervous if it actually happen. the good thing about criticizing woody is i have never had to worry about being proven wrong. you know, since he has never changed or adjusted.

tweeets galore

by jeherv on Oct 30, 2009 8:57 AM EDT reply actions

not haha jealous

legit jealous. like i looked at my dm to see if i got one.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 30, 2009 9:00 AM EDT up reply actions

well...

i suppose it’s my reward for picking him in my fantasy basketball draft and starting him on wednesdsy. i sent a nice little twitter thank you note for that 20-10+ night and got that as a reply

by jeherv on Oct 30, 2009 9:20 AM EDT up reply actions

I just followed Al on Twitter.

And subsequently I am now following Spirit the Hawk. Spirit’s Twitter is kinda funny.

by Duff_Man on Oct 30, 2009 9:23 AM EDT up reply actions

spirit's twitter is awesome

that is just a fact.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 30, 2009 9:25 AM EDT up reply actions

spirit

spirit’s twitter feed is one of the funniest things on the planet. cannot believe i forgot it on my hawks ff today

by jeherv on Oct 30, 2009 9:36 AM EDT up reply actions

i like the nba players follow it

the joke had a shelf life of a week and he still posts and it is still funny. i need to try and interview that hawk.

by hawksdawgs on Oct 30, 2009 9:38 AM EDT up reply actions

That might trump the Rathbun interview.

Just sayin’.

by Duff_Man on Oct 30, 2009 9:54 AM EDT up reply actions

And..

I’m willing to bet you’d get to without any trouble. Think about it, seriously how many times do you think someone has called the Hawks office and asked to interview Spirit? You’d instantly have one-up on Sekou, not that I don’t already have you ahead of him, but ya know, haha.

In fact, as a fan of the Hawks, I demand that you make an attempt to do this. Do they let him out to feed on unsuspecting animals downtown? Which player was he planning on taking the eyes from last year (Please be Wade)?
