The first reaction, honestly, when you see the news release, or when you see the item show up on your Twitter feed, is this: “Funny or Die” has just posted a new video on its site, Will Ferrell playing James Dolan, Jay Pharoah as Isiah Thomas, and for four or five minutes they riff on the sheer absurdity of Isiah working in the WNBA.
Or maybe it’s really a link to The Onion. The good folks there could go on for a thousand biting words about a surreal subject such as this, inflicting death by a thousand paper cuts.
