OT - LeBron James

There is a wire service article out there saying Lebron had a benign growth removed from his mouth. Perhaps that was his foot?

Read it here at the WWL

Maybe I'm too old school, but I still beleive in courtesy and sportsmanship. I never liked players doing trash talking. When I was playing pick-up at the Wooden Center, I used to take extra pleasure from beating a trash talker. LeBron's explanation that he wasn't being a bad sport was wrong. It was the definition of poor sportsmanship.

The fishwrap's ace investigation skills

How to cover a big story.....

It seems that going to booster functions and not asking questions is the way to get information. Who knew? I guess I could have worked at the fishwrap. Along with many others here, I used to read the Times every day, Jim Murray was a gift to us. When I lived overseas, I had a postal subscription for a while. No longer. I live in Redskins territory now, and the Post is so bad, that when there isn't enough Redskins news, they sometimes combine the Sports and want-ads. Really. But at least they are willing to take the Redskins to taks for their failuresl, and try to hold them accountable to the fans.

Nice article on Chris Horton

The wife and were doing some basement cleaning, and I came across an old B-Ball program with this in it.

Bruin Alum fitting in on the Redskins

There is a very complimentary article in today's Washington Post about Chris Horton. He was drafted by the Redskins in the last round, and is the only rookie, other than the punter, who is getting significant playing time. Most if it is on special teams, but the coaching staff is very high on him. They are giving a lot of credit to the fact that he was coached by DeWayne Walker, who brought over the defensive schemes of the Redskins to UCLA.

Rookie Fits Right In

Josh Shipp is staying

I don't think it will really surprise most of us, but Doh!n is reporting that Josh will be making the announcement that he is returning to UCLA, in search of the National Championship.

In the same article, as some here had speculated, the paperwork for J'mison Morgan hadn't made it to UCLA, hence the reason for the delay in his official announcement that he'll become a Bruin next year.

Looking at how spring is coming around, the championship "drought" is ended, with the distinct possibility of more banners to come before the school year is out. It does make one grateful for having been fortunate enough to have attended the finest university out there. There are schools with fine academics, others with excellent athletics programs, others in spectacular settings, but only one combines the best of everything into one exceptional school.

Let's go Bruins, and get #103! (and more)
