Three Dirty Words

In this case, the three words (I count a set of initials as one word in this case) have nothing to do with George Carlin, except that these may be more of a joke than anything the esteemed comedian ever said. You tell me.
And what great crime did Garnett commit? He took himself out of the lineup for the final five games of the 2006-07 season with an injured quad.
The speaker? Glen Taylor, owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves. You know, the team that shipped Garnett out over the summer to finish destroying their franchise in a rarely-seen “scorched earth” policy. I guess when someone asks about your team’s recent warm streak (four wins in the last six) and its contrast with their closing kick last year, essentially accusing your franchise of tanking last year to try to maintain a protected first-round pick, you do what you have to do to defend your franchise’s honor… even when it is an outright lie.
