OBAMA....Yes We Can.
Expected to split today, Obama should round out his victory lap today with the Oregon win. Look at this crowd.
On the flip side...Huckabee takes a 'shot' at Obama. Bad move if he wants to run for VP on a losing ticket. What's next, a diss record.
Another disaster.
40,000 dead in China, 5 million homeless after Earthquake.
Rescuers freed a 60-year-old woman Tuesday who was trapped for more than 195 hours after last week's earthquake and had survived by drinking rainwater, while the confirmed death toll rose to more than 40,000.
Survive by any means necessary.
Spurs outlast youthful Hornets, win Game 7 to advance to conference finals
Thoughts on the game:
1. When did Jannero Pargo become the closer? He took practically every shot in the 4the 4th quarter. David West took maybe 1 shot in the last five minutes.
2. What does it take to bench a player nowadays? Peja couldn't hit a marble in th Gulf last night and was still on te floor. Why not go with Julian Wright, MoPete, the waterboy for that reason?
3. The Spurs are who we thought they were.....We let 'em off the hook.
Playoff Predictions
Detroit in 6 over Boston.
Boston is vulnerable. I think vulnerable is another word for lucky. Lucky is another way to say overrated. Ray Allen is old, KG is no Timmyyy. Detroit, without Chauncey can beat Boston in 7. Prince neutralizes Pierce. Rip runs Ray Allen around all day and drops 20 ppg. Sheed and KG will go at it. That leaves Rondo to lead the team vs Billups/Stuckey. Boston better look to sign one more wiley veteran. I hear Sprewell is on the market.
Lakers in 7 over Spurs.
If the Lakers had Bynum, this would be an easier series. But odds are Kobe will come out on top vs Timmy. No one can guard Kobe for Spurs (Udoka??? Finley???) No one can guard Tony Parker either. But Parker doesn't go for 40 a game like the Mamba.
Detroit over Lakers.
Let my other predictions come true first and then I will write about this.
NFL opts out of labor deal.
Three reasons for the early termination: High labor costs, problems with the rookie pool and the league's inability, through the interpretation of the courts, to recoup bonuses of players who subsequently breach their contract or refuse to perform.
"The current labor agreement does not adequately recognize the cost of generating the revenues of which the players receive the largest shares; nor does the agreement recognize that those costs have increased substantially -- and at an ever increasing rate -- in recent years during a difficult economic climate in our country," the NFL said.
Hope they know what they are doing, a potential strike could cripple the NFL the way it did to Baseball in the early 90's and NBA for the post Jordan late 90's.
