It isn't a "near miss" people. It is a "near hit." A near miss is a HIT! Two planes crash into each other....hey, they nearly missed! Just think about it...

I keep hearing questions about will the Lakers trade Kobe and will the Sixers trade Iverson. Um, did any one thing perhaps they should be traded for each other? It makes too much damn sense to me I guess! I mean, Kobe went to HS in Philly. AI needs a coach he can respect. No one works harder on the court (except maybe KG) than Iverson. Shaq would love this guy. The Sixers don't get worse (they may get better), Kobe gets his own team, the Lakers stay good. I dont know, am I really wrong here? I can totally see AI deferring to Shaq late in the game. And it's ok to have a small 2 guard, when GP is the 1 at his size. It all makes too much damn sense not to work.....

This steroid story is going to get real bad, real soon. A group of "trainers" have been indicted (and may have entered guilty pleas already) for distributing illegal steroids. In addition, they have supposedly admitted to the Feds that they distributed said drugs to pro baseball players. No names have been named yet, but it is only a matter of time. This is the worst thing ever, considering we just had the greatest postseason in years, and the greatest off-season ever in baseball. I hope the game can withstand this. And is anyone sweating more than Barry Bonds? He's gotta be tweaking....

Ok, this may come off as a little insensitive. It seems that Colorado had a female kicker walk on some years ago, and she has just revealed that she was sexually assaulted by a fellow player while there. First and foremost, I find this so horrendous, and the fact that she isnt pressing charges kills me. This guy needs to pay the piper, no doubt. But she also revealed that prior to that, her life was a living hell as players harrassed her, threw balls at her head during practice, and even exposed themselves to her. Mind you, she never played. Ever. So, as bad as it sounds, what the hell was she still doing on the team? I know you dont want to "let them win" by quitting, but by staying, she really wasn't proving anything. I just think in that situation, man, just get out of there. It's not a pride thing anymore, I would have thought it had become a safety issue.

Matt Dillon is 40? Ok, I feel old now. Nothing makes you feel older than when you realize the people around you are getting older. I look in the mirror, and I dont feel old. But then I look at other people and think, damn what happened? I wonder if people look at me the same way? And I find myself answering the question "How old are you?" with "How old do I look?" more and more. Looking at that, that is pathetic...

Is there anyone on TV with less talent than Ryan Seacrest? He has to be the first person in history who could be replaced with NOTHING, and we wouldn't notice....

Why are classic movies considered better than today's movies? Honestly. They were made just years after they figured out how to do movies, so they didnt even know what they were doing for the most part. People have had 80 years to study film, study story telling, direction, lighting, acting, effects, all of it. So doesn't it stand to realize that the really good films of today have got to be better than the old ones? Isnt The Godfather better than Casablanca? Why is Some Like it Hot supposed to be the funniest movie of all time? It's just not possible. I bet I could pull 10 people off of the street, and show them Some Like it Hot and Caddyshack, and Caddyshack would win every time. Am I way off base here? These old Cary Grant films, all that old stuff, man, it is a giant snooze. Why is Its A Wonderful Life the best Christmas movie? Scrooged was better for crying out loud. Funny, interesting....Its a Wonderful Life is boring and sappy. But it's a "classic." Ok, well, in 40 years, I expect that todays movies will be looked at nostalgically.

Never mind the problems at Baylor that led to the firing of Head Coach Dave Bliss. After the program basically imploded, players were allowed to transfer, and not sit out a year, as is the norm. Currently, former Baylor player Lawrence Roberts has led Miss St to a #4 ranking and is the leading contender for Player of the Year. Former Baylor guard John Lucas has led Oklahoma State to a #7 ranking. Both teams are playing incredible. A third Baylor player is at Texas, who is in the top 20. So why isn't anyone asking the basic question: How did Baylor stink so bad last year? Honestly, these guys are incredible. And if Baylor had been held together, would they be a really good team this year? Makes you wonder what makes some a success, and others not so much with the success and all.

Just for the record....Im scared to death of being single again. I hope it never happens. Being married is great.

Hey, did I mention props to the Yanks? I think getting the MVP is a real coup for them. No really, they were really hurting. It's good to see they were able to fill that hole in the lineup. The 8 hitter should hit 40 jacks. Solid move for them.

Damn, BBQ is good. Why is flame cooking so much better than anything else? Any another thing, why is toasted bread 100 times tastier than regular bread? You havent done anything to it, just burned it a little. A little singe. And besides that, don't we all look better with a tan? What is it about burning something that improves the hell out of it? Burn ore, make metals. Burn sand, make glass.

Ok, can't focus. Will be back tonight with more, hopefully......
