Tossing Batting practice while wondering if that Zen stuff will make me as successful with the ladies as it has made Phil Jackson. I guess if you win nine NBA titles it is acceptable to date the boss’ daughter.

Phil Jackson may have had the angioplasty the other day but for three quarters last night it looked like the Lakers were the ones with no heart.

Shock of the year: Fuzzy Zoeller agrees with Vijay Singh.

Carl Everett, I miss you and your crazy (ok, insane) antics.

Too much has been made on both sides about Vijay Singh’s comment regarding Sorenstam playing the Colonial. She is using a sponsor’s exemption so she isn’t taking a spot from someone who qualified. This is a relatively minor tournament that people will actually care about for once, any publicity for the game is good for golf. Interest has waned recently with Tiger woods winning practically every time he tees it up. I applaud Sorenstam for challenging herself.

It’s a shame there will be no camera shots of Martin Brodeur’s wife during the playoffs this year.

San Antonio with a professional sports franchise, is this more or less mind boggling than Columbus or Orlando?

The NBA JV plays tonight in Detroit. Winning the eastern Conference will be like winning a JV championship, nobody cares, or even notices but the people who win it.

God bless the foresight Fox had to hire Jennie Finch to work a segment on this Week in Baseball. Her presence will advance the sport of softball and put it on a national stage. Putting a woman on a baseball show is a giant step towards gender equality in the sports world.

Ok I really don’t care about the last part of that statement, I’m just glad she’s going to be on TV at a set time every week, damn she’s hot.

Holy crap, is Brian Shaw old. That might be the Lakers biggest problem, he is playing way to many minutes for a team to be successful.

Mo Vaughn, where “Art” thou?

Take that Derek Jeter, You finally make your triumphant return but the Yankees lose. The Anaheim Angels having the Yankees number, I think this is akin to the Nets having the Celtics number.

Seriously how can any manager allow a player to go 0-8 to start a season. What does Mike Maroth have to do to get sent down to AAA. I feel bad for the guy. I think if the Tigers offered me a contract, I would turn them down.

Apparently Robert Horry’s deal with the Satan expired some time during the course of the season. He is 0-15 in 3-point field goal attempts in the series against San Antonio.

Why can’t the NHL playoffs be interesting enough for me to write about?

Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, and Florida St. football coach Bobby Bowden have both come out in favor of ACC expansion. The only down side I see to this is that with five super conferences the other schools are essentially playing for nothing. If some schools believe that, they will face pressure to drop certain sports, in favor of spending money elsewhere. Thus limiting the opportunities some athletes will have.


I blame television, and their insistence of playing back-to-back games over the weekend, for ruining the level of play in the Dallas/Sacramento series.
