So watching the Cowboy vs. Packer game last week reminded me of the fact that I need to formalize my kryptonite list. It’s been growing in my head, but it’s time I put some virtual pen to paper and get this thing documented.

I suppose we can start with what a kryptonite list is. Seems somewhat straightforward to me, but if you don’t listen to the Ticket day after day like I do, maybe you’re not so familiar.

Hmm, my kryptonite. Maybe examples would help.

So, now that the Finals are over, I can’t help but think of a segment on the lovely Ticket in which Gordo sets up a story describing how he, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki used to sit around a play a little guitar together.

Well, at some point during these little jam sessions, Dirk asks to borrow one of Gordo’s guitars; a Taylor, he hinted was given to him by his wife for a anniversary/birthday present.

After some amount of time, not hearing back from Dirk about his guitar, he decided to bring it up in conversation hoping it would be returned.

It seems as though [and this was confirmed on an audio clip Gordo had in which he interviewed the German about it], the guitar, now in his hands for a few years or more, had broken while in Dirks care. While in the off-season, Dirk travels back to Germany and the guitar was left in his Dallas home, assumably getting too warm and cracking.
