Well, besides seeing if they'll make the playoffs, course. But courtesy Odenized (and, like, um, Fox Sports Net) comes this video from last night's Mavs-Clippers game, during which a very tall benchwarmer with a bum ankle is sorta, kinda interviewed by Mark Followill during the latter half of the third quarter. It's all well and good till about 4:20 into the video, when Dirk's ear piece goes south and he resorts to some play-by-play announcing. Also worth noting: Dirk's use of the word "shortbus" at the end of the quarter. By which I assume he just means this. --Robert Wilonsky

Hard to know on "short bus." I find it a stretch that he would intentionally be calling the other team's player "retarded," however.
GREAT video clip, however. Those things are typically so boring, it was nice to enjoy one.
I think Dirk definitely was referring to the mentally challenged at the end. Chalk it up the language barriers, I hope?
