One Media, 3 Sports Mel Gibson
My question is, was the cop Jewish? If it is then Mel can defend himself with, "I'm a Jekyll & Hyde drunk. I've got a problem, and I lashed out at what was available to my distorted mind. I'm sorry, and I didn't mean any of that."
If he wasn't Jewish, then Mel's a drunk and anti-semitic.
All in all, pretty ironic from Hollywood's religious guy. Too, an interesting tact in getting out of a ticket. I've never seen the angry rant be too successful with law enforcement. Maybe it works better in California.

Floyd Landis
Gets his results at 5 in the morning Saturday. If he's awake, maybe I believe him. If he sleeps in, it's because he knows the result. Either way, I'm rooting for him only so I can make use of the elevated testosterone defense. I'm seeing me blaming a lot of randy behavior on the elevated testoserone. Besides, it sounds way more fun than an angry rant.
Good Luck, Floyd.

Chase Utley
I'm not sure if I'm rooting for him or against sportswriters. For 60 years there's been no down side to predicting someone's not going to get Dimaggio's record. It doesn't make you some insightful wizard to say it. That, and journalism's tendency to revel in people's failures has me in a Phillies cap. Go Chase.

USA Basketball
So far so good, all though the '04 Olympic squad won their first game impressively. That said, the biggest difference is the pressure defense. In '04 I about had a stroke every time a point guard walked it up the floor unchallenged. It looks like we have a coach that understands the inherent advantage of being 12 deep with superior athletes. Goodbye Larry. The other question I had that summer that's been answered now, what does Richard Jefferson give you that you don't get from Lebron? No offense Richard.  ¶ 3:59 PM
