Another example of what I dislike about the NBA:

I was going to post something about the White Sox, but I decided to post this e-mail that a friend forwarded to me instead. Not sure why. Hopefully it will lead to more interest in my blog.

I am sure you will not see this story on espn.com since all of its attention must be focused on the Duke campus: http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/sports/colleges/14391028.htm

Here is an extremely well-written story by a female Duke student concerning the "Duke Lacrosse Team Rape Allegation" story. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/sioncampus/04/19/duke.reaction/index.html

Not only is life great in Chicago if your name is Ozzie Guillen, but your life is just as golden if your name is Ozzie Guillen Jr.! Jr. is co-hosting a party tonight with Playboy's Miss May 2006!!! Damn, if only my dad had managed a World Series Champion team!! If you can make the party at Reserve tonight, enjoy!!

Gee, I wonder why this story doesn't get one-tenth of the attention that the "Duke Lacrosse" story is getting.

It was a Happy Easter for Chicago Sports fans! The Bulls beat the Miami Heat to clinch a spot in the playoffs. The White Sox, Cubs and even the forgotten Blackhawks joined the Bulls in the win column.

Forget about Tax Day, it's a Mega-Birthday day for friends and fans of the K-Line. Starting with the most important, it's my dad's birthday, Happy Birthday, Pop, I'm proud to be your son. Next Peter and Jennifer Garner were born on this 33 years ago. Apparently Peter no longer dreams of marrying Jennifer Garner, but since they were born on the same date, he will alsways have a special place in his heart for her (too corny, Pete?). Next, my man, Tommy hits the big 10 years old today. Tommy (that's Thomas Zachary, of course!), thanks for letting me to be one of your adopted uncles. Finally, but not the least, Brett Favre's #1 fan, Willie, is 9 years old as of today. Willie, all of us in Chicago know that you are a secret Bears fan! Have a good birthday and talk your dad into coming out for a White Sox game!! Happy Birthday to all, especially to Jennifer Garner!!

For those you you who want to feel old today, Seka turn 52 years old today. Apparently she no longer lives in Chicago, so it is unlikely that you will spot her at any more Cubs or Sox games.

Jim Thome- Future Hall of Famer? Barring injuries, he should finish with over 500 career home runs.

Thankfully, Rebecca Romijin looked much better in the second episode of "Pepper Dennis" than she did in the pilot episode (did she have to gain weight for "X-Men 3"?). Unfortunately, the presence of Rebecca Romijin, Brooke Burns, and Lindsey Price may not be enough to overcome the predictible formula storylines of the this "WB" series, set in Chicago but filmed in LA.

Some local fans may recall Maggie Dixon from her days as an assistant to Doug Bruno at DePaul. Just a sad story. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/news/story?id=2400335

Hopefully the Cubs' pitching situation will not be as bad as it seems right now.

The baseball season has not even started yet, and things are already looking bad for the Cubs. Kerry Wood and Mark Prior have been placed on the DL: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060328&content_id=1365834&vkey=spt2006news&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc

Espn.com is reporting that Kelvin Sampson will leave Oklahoma for the job at Indiana University. Good luck! Hoosier fans will be all over him if he doesn't win immediately.

You heard it here first- next year's George Mason, the Loyola Ramblers!

While most people outside of the SEC had never heard of LSU's Tyrus Thomas prior to the NCAA tournament, his inside play along with teammate, Glen "Big Baby" Davis, has apparently shown even flashes of his potential that his NBA draft stock has gone soaring, all the way to the #1 pick in this year's draft according to www.NBAdraft.net.

"Let's win this one for all the small schools that never got a chance to get here"
-Hoosiers

You are going to have to convince me that George Mason's victory over UConn is not the greatest upset in NCAA tournament history. The last time that a #11 seed made the Final Four was 20 years ago when LSU also defeated a #1 seed, Kentucky. But at least LSU was from one of the so-called "power conferences" while George Mason is from the Mid-major, Colonial Conference. In fact GMU was a team that some thought would not even make the NCAA tournament. Instead the Patriots defeated the tourney's prohibitive favorite to make the Final Four, providing hope to every Mid-Major team in the country.

The Minnesota Vikings have just signed QB Mike McMahon. What- the Vikings couldn't wait for Joey Harrington?!

More bad news for Duke, er I mean more good news for Duke haters: http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/421494.html
