So it’s time for the  NBA playoffs, or as the Clippers refer to it  – “Spring Break.”

The playoffs will start Saturday, and continue almost to the beginning of summer.  In fact, to increase ratings rumor has it the league will rename the post-season “April, May and June madness.”

The Kings actually ended up the NBA season with the league’s worst record which means they have the best chance of getting the lucky ping pong ball for Blake Griffin.   They hope to bring the star to Sacramento,  and turn things around. 

Yeah, that worked so well with Schwarzenegger.

General Growth Properties, the second largest mall ownership company in the U.S., filed for bankruptcy this week.  A General Growth spokesman, however, vowed business as usual.

Wait a minute, isn’t that how they ended up in bankruptcy in the first place?

John Madden is leaving the announcers booth after over 40 years in football.  Savvy fans released he might not be back this year when he put his own picture on Madden 2010.
