In case you missed this comment, I thought I'd post it for all of you to read - in ref. to the "Olympics" post:
"Christian Donald Laettner (born August 17, 1969 in Angola, New York) is a retired American professional basketball player and entrepreneur who played 13 seasons in the NBA. He starred for the 1991 and 1992 NCAA champion Duke University Blue Devils. He is considered one of the greatest collegiate players of all time...guess he did a little more than fill water bottles and carry bags!"
And as a pro how many teams did he play on? Wait, wait, how many times was he an all-star? Oh yeah, does he have a NBA championship ring? Laettner = NBA STIFF!
-- thanks for the comments. I truly love them. But I will exploit any comment that is ridiculous, in my opinion. THAT seeming controversy is what keeps this blog & my Sunday night sports rant INTERESTING.
Peace y'all.

The Office
I thoroughly enjoy this television show. I understand the 5th season is about to start so I'm a little late with it.
I bought the first season and finished watching the 4th season on-line. (Seasons 2 & 3 are making their way to my PO Box ...)
It's great because everyone can see a little of themselves in each character. Of course we all believe, or hope, that we are more like one character vs. that of another. But the greatest, for me, is relating someone we've worked with specifically with a character on the show.
If you haven't, start watching!

OLYMPICS
I grew up watching the summer Olympics as a family.
I loved the 100 meter, as guys battled for the title of "World's Fastest Human." Carl Lewis was my favorite Olympic athlete.
I remember watching Roy Jones Jr. ripped off by the judges in the '88 Seoul Olympics.
But my personal highlight came when I was a junior in high school and the original dream team tasted gold in 1992. The USA men's basketball team featured the greatest all-star line up ever. (Although that team included a stiff from Duke ... I supposed they needed someone to carry their bags and fill the water bottles.)
Bring on the Olympics; EVEN if they are in China.

I grow weary
of the Brett Favre saga ...
I understand that when a professional athlete feels as though they can compete it's difficult to retract the retirement tears. But just like Mike should've, maybe Brett should retire after one of his best seasons in years.
