“Everybody I know who’s gotten divorced has had it happen in October. What is it about October?” “I don’t know. Pressure of Halloween? You never know what to go as.” - “My Blue Heaven” 1990 What is it about October? Ask Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon, cause I’m sure they have a clue.
Well, two years was being very generous as it only took a matter of months before the pressures of success took their toll on Ryan and Reese. But besides the fact that another couple fell victim to the “pressure of Halloween” on October 30th, what does this celeb-breakup have anything to do with this Timberwolves blog today?
Simply: I’m feeling like I’m on a prediction hot streak right now. So I’d like to take a moment and say that I’m calling for a Timberwolves championship in 2007. Granted, predicting a celebrity breakup is like predicting there will be snow in Minnesota in January, but I’ll give it a try anyway.
Just remember this post in June if the Wolves win it all. Or completely forget about it if they don’t.
