Moe Wagner resigns with the Magic
Orlando Magic keep Moe Wagner on 2-year $16M contract. It's good to see Moe finally being paid what he's due and he gets to remain playing with his brother...
You might want to hyphenate "resigns" in the title to say "re-signs." Happy for Mo and glad he isn't retiring!
It caught me to at first!
On your way to first? Who’s on second?
What's on second. Who's on first.
I don’t know.
THIRD BASE!
Pop Goes the Weasel 'cuz the Weasel Goes Pop...
Wow, a 3rd Bass reference! +1. Are you Prime Minister Pete Nice by any chance?
I’m personally very conflicted as to whether that deserves an upvote or a thousand downvotes.
"3rd Bass deals with the first place
Of where your mind is
The kind of stuff that you want to smoke blunts with
Take pictures, like Allen Funt would
Snapshots get the crack hot
Good to get it, but don't sweat it
Cause if you pursue she'll chalk the cue
And boom, stroke the 8 ball
Stick and run and we're having fun
Prickin' my cactus like I'm shooting my gun
Quickly 'til it explodes and I unload
The cactus"
Come on--3rd Bass deserves a 1000 upvotes.
I thought Ryan Day was on 3rd base!
He just thinks he hit a triple
Just like Mrs. Attack always says, I forgot to give the "O."
I definitely had a moment of disorientation when I read his comment after clicking on the header.
I expected to read something like this:
”Orlando Magic forward Moe Wagner shocked his coaches and teammates by announcing he was quitting professional basketball. Appearing relaxed and upbeat, Wagner thanked Orlando fans for their support, but stated that he “no longer had a passion for the game” and believed it would be unfair to his teammates to remain on the team if he wasn’t 100% committed to playing.
When asked what his future plans were, Wagner revealed that he’s been a part owner of an organic dairy farm in Bavaria, Germany for the past three years, and is moving there in August to help run the farm with his two partners. Wagner said they plan to market a line of dairy products under the brand name of Moe’s Moo, with Jim Harbaugh and the University of Michigan football program being prominent early endorsers.
Wagner also stated that franchises would be set up in select locations in the midwest, with Ann Arbor being the flagship U.S. location to carry the premium German milk, cheese, and butter. Zingermans’s Delicatessen has already inked a deal to carry several of the non-GMO cheeses under the Moe’s Moo label, Wagner added.”
I thought the same thing. I don't know how to change it once you save it???
I do kind of like the grammar police, but I did read that as he resigned or retired. For a second.
Good thing they didn’t put a dash in that one
My parents (our family) saved two newspapers from my childhood. "Nixon Resigns" and "Man Walks On Moon". They were stored in dining table extension folding leaf so we saw them every holiday dinner. Thank you for the memory.
Mine saved "JFK killed in Dallas" and the 68 Tigers win against StL.
On a related note, I've noticed in the last couple of years that people no longer seem to remember the difference between "a part" and "apart".
It's a contranym isn't it?

Re-signs!!!
It's probably more or less to keep Franz happy. He has had a decent two years after coming close to playing himself put of the league.

Paolo Banchero had some nice things to say about him (and Franz).
It’s honestly a win win for the Magic. I watched quite a few Magic games last season and Mo impressed me quite often. He’s a very useful player off the bench and yes, likely keeps a franchise cornerstone like Franz very happy
I wonder what drove him to step down
Scandalous..
Resigns: I read this as he quit!
Resign or resign? There’s a big difference
Nodoubt. This isn't potato / pota(h)to
Who own da Chiefs?
Owns, owns...
Hopefully he can take some time off, spend it with his family, and come back and give basketball another shot once this whole fiasco blows over.
/s
But yeah, good for Moe to carve out a spot in the NBA after a couple of years looking lost. In particular I think he's figured out his role offensively and while he's never going to be a good defender he's got active hands and can stay in front of people often enough (especially against 2nd-teamers) to justify being out there. Glad he's got a second contract and also gets to play with his brother for a bit more.

Well, it was that or face impeachment because he doesn't want to give up the rest of his tapes. Some folks believe it's all the Kennedy assassination references. What exactly was Moe Wagner doing in Dallas on November 22, 1963? He's never given a satisfactory answer for that.
Should say "Moe Wanger re-signs with the Orlando Wolverines."
Seriously. Four of their 16 players are Wolverines — Mo, Franz, Jett, and Caleb Houstan. And they were Iggy’s last NBA team as well.
WANGER
MO' WANGER
Nearly every single comment in this thread is making the same stupid joke. The Leaders and The Best for sure.
That's The Leaders and Best, ahem.
It's the overlap of grammar police and dad joke. It brings the people together.
Shouldn't we be googgling this stuff?
I took it to another level.
