He lives just down the street. Ya want me to leave a nasty gram? . . gotta walk the dog somewhere.
Seriously, Allen is okay in my book. I think all the owners are req'd (NBA) right now to shake-down their cities. Seattle has Schultz (Starbux) asking for 200Million . . for a new Arena, cuz the one they are in now is like 3 years old - can you imagine the squalor?
