Down With The Sickness: Omer Asik is the New Orleans Pelicans’ Albatross

It’s not even Halloween and the New Orleans Pelicans are already dealing with leftover Turkey.

I feel for Omer Asik, I really do. I spent 6+ years living in South East Asia and traveled that region regularly eating from some of the most questionable set ups imaginable because I don’t really respect my body — so I know a thing or twenty-seven about crazy bacterial infections. I’ve been in that begging-for-death state, lying on a tiled bathroom floor, drain in the middle, with the shower just running on me as I Merlion statued from both ends for days while my ex-girlfriend force fed me orange jello and charcoal.
