I guess Kobe REALLY wants to play in MSG tonight. I still haven't seen the play in question but given that it was against Manu, I wouldn't be shocked if he sold the blow like a gunshot. I doubt the NBA decides to rescind the suspension or let him play tonight and sit the next game out, but you never know.

The Great White Hype should crush the field in Tokyo and pad her "Tier I" numbers and her bank account with an appearance fee that is likely higher than the winner's purse. Moby should win Zagreb since he's had the last 2 weeks off while everyone else was trying to win in Australia. James Blake will be the male 'Pova this week padding his stats at a meaningless event. Guga losing in 2 TBs at Vina Del Mar pretty much showed that the level of competition there is nonexistent. Sadly, Federer won't be back in action until Dubai on the 26th, but at least JH(no more 2nd H) returns next week.

I didn't see the game, was it a punch or elbow? Kobe missing the Knicks game tonight is a great treat for the fans at MSG who won't get to see him play in person this year.

I think we had something for Indian Wells (3/5) & Miami (3/19) last year since those are the only 2 significant tourneys until Fed tries to finally take Paris.

My guess would be so that you don't end up with a bunch of no names in all of the skills events.

I woke up to take a piss at about 5:30 and managed to catch the last half of the 3rd set, and I have to say that I feel bad for Gonzo. Against anyone else on tour he wins that match in straights. Against the Fedbot he gets broken three times and loses in straights. Roger is just that much better than everyone else.

The Shield. If you've seen it, you know the one I'm talking about. It was just hard to watch even though we all kind of knew it was coming.

How dare you doubt JHH's dedication. She's the only top woman on the tour that doesn't have any outside interests. 'Pova wants to be a model, Clijsters wants to make babies, Mauresmo likes to drink wine, Serena wants to be an actress, Venus aspires to be a designer. The rest of the top chicks suck, and the only thing I can fault JHH for is marrying a flaming homosexual.

Now that Crawford made 16 shots in a row, how many games does he go where he shoots below 35% to offset that insane stretch?

I just got home and saw The Great White Hype got dismantled by a fat, out of shape Serena. Women's tennis officially sucks without JHH.

How do you only make 3 UFE in a match where you also hit 42 winners? Gonzo played out of his mind against Haas.

1. Detroit? I don't know that anyone looks like a best bet to even win their division in the East right now. 2. Dallas if they get the # 1 seed. I'd go with San Antonio if Phoenix gets it. 3. Dallas if they get the # 1 seed in the West. San Antonio if Phoenix gets it. 4. Miami. They're not in the playoffs right now, but with Wade (and a somewhat fresh Shaq) in the playoffs they could make another run. 5. Brandon Roy 6. Dirk Nowitzki 7. Fiction, I was born before the basketbrawl days of the '90s. Those early-mid '80s Nuggets team scored 115 to 125 a night. ('82-83 AVERAGED 126.5) 8. True, just because RJ and Krstic are out for NJ. 9. The Lakers could win an NBA title this year. The Knicks won't win 50 in a year until next decade, same with the Celtics. 10. Miami, the # 9 seed in the East.

Consensus seems to be Colts - 6.5 or 7 with the over at 48.5 or 49 http://www.docsports.com/super-bowl-odds.html

Manu might dethrone 'Sheed as the league's most T'ed up player just for being himself if soccer diving is no longer allowed.

That sounded even louder than I remembered. Good Lord that was vicious.

The fans don't vote for MVP or Nash wouldn't have any of those either.

If 23.2 PPG, 5.5 RPG & 6.3 APG is just a good year, then I think you have ridiculous expectations of what an All-Star should be.

Whaaaaaaaaaat? I could understand being # 1 in revenue because of their astronomical ticket prices, but it's ridiculous that the league laughingstock is the most "valuable" franchise out there.

Nash doesn't have enough street cred to start an All-Star game.

That fight sucked. Is there anyway neither guy gets a live TV match again?

I think Tom decided he wants Ilan to win. All 3 of the other judges favored Sam, and yet Ilan made the final 2. There's no way he beats Marcel on talent or merit, but I think the bald one picked Ilan to win a few challenges ago.

That. Was. Awesome.

Serena and Maria have proven to be slightly less worse than the rest of the bunch. Who knew JHH was almost singlehandedly responsible for bringing all of the quality to the women's game?

So I sat through those two horrible women's SF matches that ended at a quarter to 2 and missed Roddick get taken down Adebisi style by Federer because it didn't start until 3:30. Please tell me that's the match on ESPN 2 at 3 PM EST today? It lists Men's SF #1 but I don't know if ESPN will follow through on it or give us a replay of Serena and/or Maria instead.

Fuck you Vaidisova, and everyone else on the bottom half, for letting Serena reach a GS final at close to 2 bills. Fuck you for quitting in a big match yet AGAIN Kim. Fuck you Maria and Serena for making me skip the first GS final of the year. If Roger loses to Rod-dick I'm not going to be able to watch tennis again until Wimbledon.
