		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Well, I guess if the example you’re looking to imitate is one that has resulted in 16 NBA titles and over 30 Finals appearance, then the Lakers aren’t your first choice.&quot; 

Wow, even less sense than your previous post. Why wouldn&#039;t any other team want to emulate one of the most successful franchises in all of professional sports? If you want 16 championships in 31 finals appearances, to have missed the playoffs all of 5 times since 1948, been the first NBA team to 3,000 wins, be one of only three teams to never have lost 60 games in a season, still hold the NBA record of 33 straight victories..... who the hell else would serve as a model?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;One serving as an example to be imitated or compared. Thus no other team in the league can do what the Lakers have done to get similar results.&quot; 

You not only don&#039;t know where the Chargers play, you&#039;ve never heard of the Boston Celtics either. The Lakers (and Celtics, Spurs, Thunder, Heat, etc.) fill your &quot;context&quot; definition of a model quite well. The Chargers? Eh, not so much....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do you even respond if that&#039;s all you&#039;re going to put out there?

Didn&#039;t you say you weren&#039;t going too anyway?

I am right. You don&#039;t let the patient decide on an injury of this nature.

You should really disappear off the site again. It was so pleasant not to see your inane drivel daily.]]></description>

Manchester going to have to swoop in to defend you again, because you can&#039;t fight your own battles?

Ridiculous statement on your part. When it comes to injuries, especially the back, the injured is the least knowledgeable about it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you win lots of titles you don&#039;t get high draft picks. Unlike other teams that win occasionally (or rarely) and then spend a decade getting back to the top, the Lakers find ways to stay at the top. Apparently your &quot;model&quot; organization is one that doesn&#039;t have a savvy front office insuring the fans get a contender to cheer every year. Oh, yeah, I guess your name says it all. A doofus who hasn&#039;t realized the Chargers moved to San Diego 51 years ago and won ONE title (1963, AFL). Now THAT&#039;S a model franchise, right?]]></description>
