For Serious

I think MF Garrett Elliott is the biggest Pistons fan I know of. He’s been a fan longer than I have. He’s not from Detroit. He owns a larger collection of (VHS!) videos about Pistons basketball (as well as music CDs) than any remotely healthy NBA fan should have. He’s lived through teal and tough and teal again, and he’s still here every day. I am a hopeless, relentless, hours-a-day Pistons fan, and I am self-aware enough to realize that I am not as big of a fan as Garrett Elliott is. He’s like the guy that this franchise was built for, a hard-working do-it-yourself kind of guy who understands that creativity and hard work can yield great things.

It might sound like I’m kissing ass or brow-beating, but I’ve been here on DBB for, what, five years? Garrett has been here longer, and I’m pretty certain that he loves Detroit Basketball harder than I possibly could.

Happy Birthday, Garrett. If there is a greater Pistons fan than you, I’ll believe it when I see it. Seriously. And I’ll probably knife them so you can hold your title. That’s the kind of fellow fan I hope to be.

better brow-beating than brows-beating

right right right right??

Happy Birthday, Garrett (although it’s no longer your birthday per Facebook, and it’s now my wife and niece’s birthday… step aside!)

And may all of your future birthdays remind you of the Pistons.

My favorite photographer of all time...

The first and only time I’ve met MFGE was at a DBB suite night. He took some awesome photos.

Where’s GE? (bonus points if you recognize anyone else)

This one doesn’t show MFGE, but he took this photo of me and my brother. I absolutely love it.

And finally, once again MFGE doesn’t make it into this one, because he’s behind the camera, but it’s still a sweet photo that I’m so glad I have:

Cheryl Ford was much better looking in person than I thought she’d be. I’m just saying.

I would have to agree.

I feel like it would be more fun to guess.

by Birdman84 on Feb 7, 2012 12:51 PM EST up reply actions  

okay, my guesses

left to right, top pic:

QD, Garrett, LawyerBoy, Matt Watson (in the back), Petey, Cheryl Ford, Sauce, Shinons (without the asterisk), Brgulker, his bro, not Kriz, anddddddd Mike Payne, of course.

Who did I miss?

lol,

I actually don’t remember who they all are. This was toward the beginning of my DBB commenting.

And can I also add that's me wearing a Rip jersey?

I’ve found him incredibly frustrating of late, but there was a time when he was my favorite Piston…
