I just want to catch up a few items that have been on my mind in the past few days.

It is quite apparent that Kobe and the Lakers are going to win the NBA finals. They are just a more complete team and Lamar Odem has come to play. What is amusing is Kobe and his antics. He has said over and over that winning a title without the aid of Shaq is not important to him. That is all well and good but he knows and we all know and he knows we know that he wants it real bad without Shaq. There is nothing wrong with that. He is working harder and becoming a better leader with each game. However the “Kobe Face” is out of control. He has been so conscious his whole career of how the media views him and he desire to give a signature look or pose. Since day one he has mimicked Jordan. Someone must have told him that it is time to be his own man. Because of this he has abandoned his Jordan want to be antics and moved to the “Kobe Face”. It will be just a few short years before we mock this look.

Speaking of basketball and laughing at the expense of others. ….Have you had a chance to see the Memphis basketball program as of late? We are up to two players (Rose and Dozier) with suspect SAT scores and the brother of Rose not paying for a couple of rides he took on the chartered plane. At this point Coach Cal has yet to be accused of any wrong doing. Memo to Kentucky: Good luck with that dirtbag! The greatness of the internet did grant us this gem in honor of Cal’s work. A nice video and song set to the RHCP.

Finally we got good news from our President this week. He finally found a country we do not have to apologize to after any action. He did not apologize to Germany or the Nazis for WWII. After his repeated apologizing to the world and certain religious groups, I fully expected him to apologize to the Germans over the whole WWII mess at the D-Day ceremonies last week. Well played POB!
