For more on the Antonio Davis incident, I once again recommend my friend's blog at
www.hoopramblings.blogspot.com . Specifically the article entitled: "Mrs. Antonio Davis=Mrs. Doug Christie??????" Of course, while you are there you may want to read his other ramblings and rants.

Antonio Davis has received a five game suspension from the NBA.

Yesterday I ran into someone who asked if I was still celebrating the White Sox World Series Championship. What do you think!?! Thanks again, White Sox!

First of all, I was in attendance at the Chicago Bulls- New York Knicks game (in case you are wondering, I was two sections over from the "incident.") It is unfortunate that "the incident " marred what was probably the most exciting non-playoff NBA game that I have witnessed in person. Bottom line, for whatever reason he may have had, Antonio Davis crossed the line, literally and figuratively. He MUST be suspended by the NBA. In my opinion for a minimum of two games. Make sure you read the version of the facts from the fan who was allegedly threatening Davis' wife:

Bruce Sutter starts his MLB career with the Cubs, wins a Cy Young with the Cubs, but he's going into the HOF as a Cardinal!http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060111&content_id=1294207&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Don't mean to state the obvious, but it looks like Marcus Vick's draft stock is sliding downward as quickly as a Vince Young dash for the endzone.

Form your own conclusions on this one- I don't want to get in trouble with the "PC police"!

Should he stay or should he go? The question applies to Vince Young as he single-handedly defeated USC. Does he return to Texas for his senior season or does he declare for the NFL draft?

Si.com is running a poll asking readers to vote on the 2006 College Football Preseason No. 1. The choices- a) Notre Dame; b) Ohio State; c) Penn State; d) Texas; and, e) USC. Hey, what about West Virginia or LSU? Still, no respect for West Virginia, which finished 11-1 by beating Georgia in Atlanta! West Virginia return its starting quarterback and running back, both of whom were freshmen this season. While I don't expect West Virginia to be the preseason No.1, a little respect would be nice!! Another team that should be good next season- Oklahoma.

Happy birthday to Cory Everson!

It appears that former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarrett chose an unorthodox way to celebrate the New Year. Talk about a waste of talent. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=ap-clarett-robbery&prov=ap&type=lgns

A Major League Baseball team with cheerleaders!!? The few fans that actually attend Florida Marlins' home games not only get major league baseball but entertainment from the Mermaids. Two World Series championships in very recent memory and cheerleaders- and this team still has trouble drawing fans!?

For a moment I thought that the signing of Jon Garland would be the biggest news today in the Chicago area. Not so, as a downtown Chicago institution, the Berghoff, has announced it will be closing its doors in Feb, 2006. I have taken many an out of town friend who visits Chicago to the Berghoff. Christmas shoppers flock to this restaurant, a one-time mens' only bar. To show how famous the Berghoff is, I was once in Jonesboro, Arkansas and met a guy who upon learning that we were from Chicago, excitedly began describing a great restaurant that he went to in Chicago. Yes, the Berghoff. At the very least, visit the Berghoff's website, or if at all possible visit the Berghoff and have a Berghoff beer or a Berghoff brew root beer before it closes its doors.

More good news for the White Sox and for White Sox fans, as Jon Garland has signed a three year contract with the White Sox.

Here's a column from the Sun-Times' Doug Elfman re the "Best of TV in 2005." I will give you my comments later.

The AP has voted the White Sox Championship season as the top sports story of 2005!!

And by the way, one of my New Year Resolutions will be more frequent posts on the K-Line!!

Maybe he's mad because he couldn't scalp his own tickets?
