Bill Walton Gave Out John Wooden’s Phone Number On Television. John Wooden’s Been Dead For A Decade

Normally I don’t like to blame the deceased for a whole lot. Let them rest, us living can shoulder the blame for some of the ailments of the world today. But in this case I have no choice but to call it how I see it. This is 100% John Wooden’s fault. He knew what he was getting himself into when he recruited this peace loving hippy. When you give someone like Bill Walton your phone number you know that is as good as buying up every billboard in the country and plastering those digits from sea to shining sea. Bill Walton’s brain is public domain. Whatever is in there is available to the rest of us even if we don’t need it. Like the phone number of a man who perished many moons ago. I don’t even know how he gave out an entire phone number to 25,000 people back in the day, I’d assume it was via microphone in which case how does someone not stop him about 5-6 numbers in. But that’s a story for another day I suppose. Long live Bill Walton and his wondrous brain of mischief and delight.
