Kobe Bryant is unbelievable - and no, I don't just mean his side of the alleged rape in Colorado. I mean on the court. One sportscaster called them "the Los Angeles Kobes" - only the fourth player in NBA history to score 50+ in three straight games. He scored 175 points in those games. When you watch him, it's like the people around him are high school players, well at least sometimes.
Dribbles into a corner, picks up his dribble, then looks for someone to pass to. That's Josh McRoberts, every time I watch him get the ball in the half court, he'll dribble down the right side, about 20 feet from the basket and pick up his dribble. They won't show that on his highlight tapes, but I've seen it every time I watch. And he is declaring for the NBA. Hopefully the Sixers aren't THAT stupid....are they? By the way, how old is Greg Oden of Ohio State? Damn, there are all these comparisons to Patrick Ewing how he plays, but its sad that he looks AS OLD as Patrick Ewing, right now!
Andy Reid is back - listening to the Press Conference, he had to ask the media TOO many times to stop asking questions about his family. The guy has been through enough, come on people. With about a month left before the draft, I still don't see the "leave" as a big issue - the Eagles signed some quality people, and you know he had a hand in it. The key will be staying free of the devastating injuries again. And by the way, he has the two older sons, and three younger sons.
Around the balls:
White-leather-stitched- I hate that I jinxed the Phillies - my prognostication came true - one of the starters is hurt and now they'll keep Lieber. Having too many starting pitchers is as much of a problem as having too many defensive linemen. Even if they are "OK" or "good" - keep them fresh.
Big-brown-oblong- Ron Mexico in the news again - he claims this time that his "water bottle" that security officials thought had "marijuana" in it, is a "hiding place" for "jewelry" and "earings." Sorry Ron, still don't believe you. You better hope you grasp Bobby Petrino's offense, otherwise you'll wind up replaced like David Carr. "Marijuana" won't help you grasp it - that only works when playing Madden.
Small-bug-with-noisy-legs- In world Cricket news, reports out of Jamaica say the Pakistani coach was strangled. What is this soccer? You lose and get off-ed?
Program Alert:
NCAA basketball is on this weekend again!?!?
Oh, and Tiger is playing golf this weekend in Orlando.
