This game is unreal. Kobe, Ariza and Odom are having crazy good games. I think Odom’s 3s may have been the turning point.
ESPN just played U2’s Desire going to a 4th quarter break in the Lakers – Nuggets conference final game 6. Very much appropriate.

Of both varieties. First off, Matt Johnson and I will be starting a new soccer site — details to come on that one.
Secondly, OfficialFantasyFootballNews.com has a great new article for anyone looking to land a surprise pick or two. There may be some surprises this year out of Green Bay and their Big D and from a certain backup in Kansas City.
There’s a new NFL-focused football site for the Fantasy Football fanatic. Look on the right side of the page when you go there, you’ll see links to all 32 NFL teams. Click on any team (say, the Packers) and you’ll get 10 of the most recent news stories off the wires. It’s a great way to keep up with everything going on in the NFL!
The site is Official Fantasy Football News. Check it out. Thanks!
I don’t know if you’ve read the story about the Boston College Fan-turned-Kicker, but it makes me wonder if there are any potential players or coaches in the stands at Bryant-Denny who deserve a closer look.
Today, Alabama is in Tennessee, and my spidey sense tells me that it will be another “darn close game” which we barely win / lose, possibly in overtime, the outcome decided by a kicker or by going for it on 4th and 10 or not going for it on 4th and inches or something like that. It’s on TV out here in LA; therefore, I won’t get as much done today as I need to get done.
Look, I’m from Alabama. But the man who did sports while spitting dip juice into his coke can was a better sportscaster than Jim Hill and all of LA’s CBS2 Sports Central (insert lightning logo here!) team. Here’s a recap of their March Madness recap:
- - “UCLA plays Alabama at 5 pm on Saturday, Live on CBS2!”
- - They never showed, on-screen, the final score of a game. They would say it in passing, but they’d show highlights until they tired of it — say, when Team A was up 52-49 at the half over Team B — and then Jim would mumble, “And Team B scored 10 unanswered at the end to win it by 3.”
- - “Steve, UConn’s struggle really points out what a great job UCLA did against Belmont.”
- - I should point out I’m not making this up: they misspelled “Madness.” The PowerPoint template they used to show tomorrow’s game schedule said “MARCH MADNES 2006″ at the top of each “slide.” You’d see “MARCH MADNES 2006: TEAM A vs. TEAM C” and then they’d have this awesome cyclonic Sports Central logo flash on the screen at the sound of a passing jet, dissolving to the next game — “MARCH MADNES 2006: TEAM E vs. TEAM G.”
- - We’re gonna have to see how Thursday’s bomb threat in San Diego before the early game will affect UCLA tomorrow in their 5 PM game LIVE HERE ON CBS 2 versus Alabama.
In downtown Dothan, there’s a clothing store that’s been there since the 70’s called SuperBad. In the 90’s, SuperBad had a secret meeting of all their top scientists, and they created a smooth robot who anchors Dothan’s news station. If you’re ever in Dothan, watch the news — you’ll see what I mean.
There are times when I’ve been at home and it’s clear that the SuperBad News Robot is the only entity at the station during the broadcast, controlling camera changes with his robotic stare. Did he eliminate the others on the news team? Is he holding morning show host Ann Varnum hostage in the WTVY basement? Is he reading our minds at home?
Anyway, the SuperBad news robot? Better than the pros here in my hometown of Los Angeles.
