While Steve Blake may fit in perfectly with his new Los Angeles Lakers teammates on the court, off the court he may have some problems. You see, it seems as if Steve is beyond the video games and meaningless banter associated with the young folks of today’s NBA. Steve Blake is an intellectual. I was [...]

Which Laker would make the best president?
With the election just one day away, I thought I’d take a look at some OTHER possible candidates for the president of the United States. Sure, Obama and McCain are good candidates, but can they run the triangle? In case you’ve been living in a cave for the past year — actually forget that, even [...]

Wizards of Los Angeles
I just wrote an enthralling allegory comparing the Lakers upcoming season to the classic Wizard of Oz on my Examiner page. Here’s a clip, but please click on the link so I get paid for it! Thanks! Kobe and the Lakers aren’t in Kansas anymore. Last year they were able to surprise just about [...]

We Got Next
Is it just me, or is the WNBA rapidly becoming the most exciting pro sport in the country? Alright, well maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but “the W” went from obscurity and ridicule to headlining SportsCenter this week with it’s seminal moment: the league’s first all-out brawl.
