The 76ers Yesterday on Allen Iverson

Here's the tune that "Owner" Ed Snider and GM Billy King, whose Armani looks suspiciously to have a teflon or kevlar coating, were singing yesterday:

Kumbaya my lord,
kumbaya
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Someones singing lord, kumbaya
Someones singing lord, kumbaya
Someones singing lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbayah

Someones laughing, lord, kumbaya
Someones laughing, lord, kumbaya
Someones laughing, lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Someones crying, lord, kumbaya
Someones crying, lord, kumbaya
Someones crying, lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Someones praying, lord, kumbaya
Someones praying, lord, kumbaya
Someones praying, lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Someones sleeping, lord, kumbaya
Someones sleeping, lord, kumbaya
Someones sleeping, lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Singing: Snider and King, for having traded their leading scorer;
Laughing: Denver fans, thinking that they're going to party with the league's #1 and #2 scorers;
Crying: Those 76ers fans who confused activity with achievement;
Praying: Comcast Corporation, a public company with two teams that are 0 for December;
Sleeping: (and well, too) Greg Oden at Ohio State, who enjoys college so much that he can think about whether to join this circus after his freshman year or stay in school.

But yesterday it was all sweetness and light. Snider praising Iverson, King thanking Iverson, Iverson thanking the 76ers. All you needed was a bow and some confectioner's sugar to dust off the top.
