Sucking Up Part II: Mike Wise (Plus, German Help Needed)

Since I wrote an ode to Tony Kornheiser earlier today, let's throw a little love in the Mike Wise direction. Wise's fantabulous Gilbert Arenas story won second place in the feature/enterprise category from the Pro Basketball Writers Association, which means Jason Quick's winning story about the Blazers must be really really really really good. Wise also won first place in the columns category for his very memorable Pat Riley piece. If I had carried out my master plan to do nothing but blog about Mike Wise from NBA all-star weekend in Vegas, I likely would have won some sort of prize, too. Well done, Wise Guy.

(Yes, I know commenting seems disabled, so come back later to offer Wise your own congrats.)

(And whenever commenting is back up, if someone wants to explain what this German blog is talking about in a post that mentions the Bog and Sam Smith, I'd appreciate it.)
