Create A Caption

To break the monotony a bit of reporting news, posting analysis, etc. about the Orlando Magic, I want to have some fun and create a little contest for the Third Quarter Collapse community today. As the title of the post indicates, I want to see which 3QC member can come up with the best caption to the picture below. 3QC has some pretty funny people here, so I think this will be a diversion everyone enjoys.
(Insert caption here)

I'm sure everyone here is familiar with a "create a caption" competition, but in case someone here doesn't know what this type of contest is ... basically a picture is provided and you, the reader, attempt to come up with a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo. The line can be funny, stupid, witty, etc.
I'll be a judge but I like to have another collective voice determining the winner, that way there's a bit of a consensus among the community. What I prefer for everyone here to do is this ... if you like the caption a fellow member has come up with, "recommend" it. That will be 'your vote', in essence. If you don't know how to "recommend" a comment, go to the comment you like, click on 'actions', then click on 'rec'. You can "recommend" multiple captions/comments, if you want.
So for a quick recap.
- Write a quick sentence describing what's occurring in the photo.
- If you like a caption/comment that's been written, "recommend" it.
- After you "recommend" a caption/comment, write something (like +1, for example) to indicate you like the sentence a 3QC member has written.
- The contest will last 24 hours, so whichever caption/comment gets the most recommendations, wins. In case of a tie, I'll determine the winner.
Let the contest begin!

I want Baldelli to be healthy enough to play in 150 games, I just hope he sucks. Like Greg Vaughn suck.

Nice.
+1.
I like this one too .. J.J.’s hairstyle influence is always a hot topic on Magic game threads. Nice application.

Hedo: I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Let’s talk about our feelings… “I FEEL like that was a bad call” – Hedo “I FEEL like you are a bull in a china shop”-Tom

Whistle blows and referee calls a foul on Hedo . . .
Tom: I’m sorry Hedo but I can’t let you get away with that. I mean, you’re not even an All-Star!
Hedo: Not an All-Star?! Don’t you know I’m the Michael Jordan of Turkey???

Hedo: I’m European, how am I supposed to know how to cut a Thanksgiving Day turkey, it was unfair.
Tom: I understand but it’s common sense, you don’t just stab the damn thing.

Hedo explains ...
Tom: Hedo, you really shouldn’t be so down on yourself. You’re a good guy; I won’t hear another negative word come out of you.
Hedo: No, seriously Tom, I said I was FROM Turkey. I didn’t say I was one.
I dont make the rules....
Hedo: Look Tom, thats the way it works. You get ONE autographed Hedo shoe at participating Subway restaurants with the purchase of $50 in gift cards, not two!!!
Tom: Cmon, Hedo, I got two feet!!! Hook me up!!!!
