“Sometimes people might feel like I’m overstating the case, but I don’t think I am,” he said. “I get paid to go to the Garden, meet up with a 30-year friend, sit at halfcourt in the best seats in the place, talk about the game for 2 1/2 hours, then go home and somebody pays me.”

Best job ever!

Holy crap. If a writer can be sued over a tweet, I can’t even imagine what could be coming Tommy Heinsohn’s way if this lawsuit succeeds. He defames the refs every night. It’s part of his charm! ;)

In case you missed it: Tommy Heinsohn went on another one of his epic rants during last night’s Suns @ Celtics game. Signs of an epic rant are as follows:

1. Yelling of the word, “Please!” as if someone asked him if he was related to Charlie Sheen or ate turd sandwiches on the regular (“They’re calling a technical on Pierce. Please!”)
2. Even louder yelling of the word, “Bogus!” (As in, “That was BOGUSSSS!”)
3. Announcing that he agrees with Doc when the camera shows Doc on the sideline shaking his head
4. Insulting the refs as inept (“That is total ineptitude right there.”)
5. Sarcastic questioning of the previous events that just took place (“Can he stare at the guy?”)
6. No shit, Sherlock statement declaring his unhappiness (“I don’t like that!”)
7. Final quip to Mike Gorman where he seemingly understands that he might be an over-the-top homer (“What do you think of that?” *chuckles*)

KG is ejected. Tommy Heinsohn shares his feelings on the issue.

It’s STUPID!
