The King’s speech.
Lebron James said he could see himself back in Cleveland some day. And some fans in Miami are upset. Seems like James’ idea of a long-term committed relationship might be the same as Newt Gingrich’s.

Lebron is trying to quell controversy in Miami over his remarks about possibly returning to the Cavaliers at some point, and says Heat fans “shouldn’t be worried.” Maybe King James should use the controversy control technique of keeping an aspirin between his lips.

Tim Wakefield, 45, says he is retiring. Responded Jamie Moyer – “So young?”

Another thought about this birth control controversy. If religious institutions can deny coverage for sometihng they believe is immoral, why not deny coverage for STD’s for both sexes, especially unmarried men as well as women, since they shouldn’t be doing anything to get such a disease?

ESPN writers Politically Lincorrect!
After the Knicks lost last night, ESPN posted a “Chink in the Armour” headline on their webpage. In addition, one of their announcers used the same line on air. Here are some “softer” suggestions:
Chinese Delivery Ends
D’Bros Hand it to Hop Sing
Lin shows up with No Tickee tonight
Pick & Egg Loll Squashed
Fortune Cookie Crumbles
Re: ESPN announcer making comment along with the web posting. Confucius say “Two Wongs don’t make a Right”
