Another article on Chris Taft signing his contract with Golden State. He seems to be getting better at saying the “proper” thing, even when it has no basis in fact.

The Warriors’ front office includes Chris Mullin, their executive vice president of basketball operations who is a graduate of Xaverian (N.Y.) High School, where Taft also attended.

“He has shown so much faith and confidence in me,” Taft said of Mullin. “I just want to take this great opportunity and make the most of it. Golden State is a great organization with great guys, and everyone seems really happy with me. The assistant coaches said they can make me into a really great player.”

Golden State last made the playoffs in 1994. Quick name a great player with the Warriors, who they didn’t lose in the last 15 years. You gotta’ say what you gotta’ say.

Meanwhile, former Pitt player Darnell Dinkins who had the misfortune to be a top athlete in college football during the dark days of the mid- to late 90s, rather than a player at a set position stands to make the Ravens roster as the back-up tight end. It’s a great story of an individual’s will and personal perseverance.
