Talkin' Trash: Courtside seats, a beer and some trash talk at the game. Yes We Can.

I'm sure there will be those who disagree with me, but I kinda like the idea of a President who doesn't consider himself above a little sports banter.

Does Robin Ficker still go to the Washington games? I'd love to see the Secret Service react to his special style.

I think Ficker is the only trash talker who could not only easily survive a waterboarding, but enjoy it and ask for more. "Bring it on! Is that all you got?"

"I don't heckle the players. I talk about their weaknesses."

How does that work, exactly? "Hey, Dwyane Wade, you gravitate towards unhealthy relationships! Hey, Shaq, your diet includes too many high-calorie foods that are low in fiber!"

"Hey Kobe, your predeliction for unseemly encounters with women in the high country are counter-intuitive!" "Bi-atch."

keeping in mind that it was banter with a guy wearing an Obama t-shirt.

Regardless, this is still pretty good PR. I think it's a pretty good story.
