Kobe did a great 'what-comes-after-23' switch. LeBron should also adopt 24 and see which of them will do it better.

So will this be the last time that a player wearing #42 wins a World Series? I sort of liked seeing that. In fact, I looked it up to find out how that occurred. Apparently Rivera is grandfathered in . . .

How are none of you commenting on what seemed to have been an exaggerated claim of a death threat by the line judge? After she ran over to the umpire, Serena is heard to deny threatening to kill her. I seem to also hear a "yes you did" that may have been from out of the frame.
So she lost her cool. She did a pretty immediate about-face and collected herself, congratulating Clijsters before calmly exiting.
Women's tennis, since it is three sets, should have a win by two matches rule. Or something.

I was getting ready for school this morning when I saw this story. Stupid allergies.
A nice story but it struck me that if the referees were so intent on following the letter of the rulebook they should have called a technical on the intentional miss. If both coaches and teams were willing to overlook it it should have ended there. But, the outcome? Nice.

A pretty good, if long, article that just left me wondering what the agents do for these guys. Shouldn't they be calculating how their guy improves those around him? Couldn't the team stat guys just as easily generate a pile of metrics to use against the player for contract negotiating purposes? I'm just a little surprised that these types of non-traditional value measurements had to be developed by the team.

One incident? One incident that made the national press. Ron Artest has been involved in domestic issues as well as a nationally reported case of animal cruelty. I think this is a good move for Houston. Artest has shown signs of maturing. How he handles not being the third option will be interesting.
posted by geekyguy at 09:39 AM on July 30
Watch as Artest matures and thrives under Adelman. I'm surprised, and a little disappointed, that Petrie sent him to a team so close to the upper echelon. I would have much preferred banishment to Memphis or somewhere. It will be interesting to see how he handles being the third(?) option. In Petrie We Trust.

Shaq just seems absolutely obsessed with Kobe. Does he really think about him that much? It seems like it has gone past feuding and borders on obsession.

Long before the SpoFi debates over whether something was a sport, I remember, as a kid in the '70's, watching WWOS and just accepting that cliff-diving, jai alai and drag racing were sports. I mean, they were featured on WWOS, so they must be sports.

Wow. This would seem to have the potential for having gone horribly bad. Not addressed in the article is whether the visible security at the game and nearby facilities weighed on his decision to not follow through. Whatever the reason it is just fortunate that he both backed out and peaceably turned himself in. owlhouse, it was a business dispute and only tangentially involves alcohol. Like Ying Yang Mafia said, there was no indication of mental illness. I'll add that there is, from the news reports, no indication of his being drunk. City councils have pissed off people before. Marvin Heemeyer in Colorado a few years ago turned a bulldozer into a tank and took out the town hall among other buildings.

Shaq is notoriously less-than-motivated during the regular season and it seems that he needs a trade every few years to light a fire under his ass. Expect his health to improve and his contribution to be significant. Ufez is counting on it.
