Kings training camp: Isaiah Thomas, Greivis Vasquez are friendly rivals

Though they're competing for a starting job, Isaiah and Greivis seem to be getting along just fine.

And one: this was the Bee's headline on their Vasquez-Isaiah story …

The story does not explain the Mutt and Jeff reference, because hell no would Jason Jones reference a goofy comic strip that hasn't run in his lifetime. I looked it up, and Mutt and Jeff — these guys …

… — were "two mismatched tinhorns." Wikipedia calls Mutt a dimwitted compulsive gambler in as many words, and Jeff is an inmate at an asylum who loves horseracing. Oh, and Mutt almost always wears a top hat. Character confusion in Kingsland, ahhh!

If we're going to refer to Greivis and Isaiah as unflattering old comic strip characters, can we just go with Frank and Ernest? At least most people under the age of 70 have heard of Frank and Ernest. (Oh man, you younger people have heard of Frank and Ernest, right?)
