How much attention would Jeremy Lin get if he were doing this in, say, Portland or Oklahoma City or Sacramento or even San Antonio, where they've actually won something since the Truman Administration? I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
Watching Mickelson yesterday afternoon was scintillating. Watching what's left of Mr. Woods plod around the course was schadenfraude.
You got an 800 on the Math on the SAT, 5er? Do you watch Big Bang Theory and go "Simpletons"? I'm the one with the nerd degree and I didn't get an 800.
Of course, it was harder in my day, too. Having to walk 10 miles uphill in the snow while I was at it, as well.
Well, got a busy morning. A meeting at 3 today with corporate HR. My staff - now down to one - turned in her notice yesterday, with a couple of hooge deadlines looming.
That bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in my office is looking better all tht time...
Best non football rivalries, you mean aside from Sox-Yankees and Cubs-Cardinals, because those would have to be at the top of the list? Giants-Dodgers, too, mind you (makes me long for the days of Braves-Reds and Braves-Dodgers rivalry. The Spy will now shed one tear for each. Moving on...)
Celtics-Lakers probably isn't what it used to be, and they're on tonight. US and Europe in the Ryder Cup, though that's been awfully one-sided of late.
Nadal-Federer is still interesting, even if Djokovic is winning all the tournaments.
Canadiens-Maple Leafs doesn't move the needle like it once did. But Bruins-Canadiens is still a good time.
Anything Gisele says about Tom's wide receivers. (Seriously? People are wasting time on this?)
Best uni in sports ... good one. Still love the Montreal Canadiens white jerseys. Love when the Patriots go all throwback and of course the Red Sox home unis. And I hate them but the Lakers all gold is ... well ... golden.
And Kobe's not bad. Who in today's active NBA do you want to have the ball in the final 8 seconds of the game, either down 1 or 2 or tied? I think that list begins and ends with young Mr. Bryant. Maybe Derrick Rose or Dirk. Maybe. LeBron? He'd drop it like it was hot.
5 at 10: Tiger Woods, Kentucky hoops and the Grammys

Late for work again because AMC had on...
"The Natural."
Yeah, like I wasn't going to watch.

chas9,
Big 5er knows exactly what I mean when I talk about my big baby Weeds. Good man, good writer.

Who doesn't love Weeds?

5 at 10: UTC hoops, Big East addition and Peyton Manning's future
Great double bill on AMC this morning. Death Wish, followed by Red Dawn. How was I supposed to work up the initiative to go to work when those are on?
And, as always, nice pull on Powers Boothe, not to mention C. Thomas Howell.

And from a great double bill on AMC this morning as I took time getting ready to go to work...
The chair is against the wall. The chair is against the wall.
5 at 10: Kobe Bryant, NCAA seeding and the NFL combine approaches
Things the Spy doesn't care about ...
The Kardashians.
