OSTERTAG SERIOUS ABOUT NBA COMEBACK, 99-INCH TIRES: The LAWRENCE (KS) JOURNAL-WORLD reports retired NBA player Greg Ostertag, who apparently is looking for a cash infusion to add to his collection of monster trucks, is going to make a comeback.

Ostertag, 34, didn’t play last year but thinks he can still ball (ok, that might not be the description for his game): “First I have to try to get my fat butt in shape. I am still young enough to play. Last year was the first time in 24 years I haven’t played. I’ll tell my agent to put my name out there and see what happens.”

We think we speak for all of us that if Billy Paultz isn’t going to be associated with The Association, Mr. Ostertag is the next best thing. Go Greg!
