Taboo Tuesday

Hello everyone! And welcome back to the drill! Remember, when news breaks, we fix it!! hahaha..on to business!

Opening statements began today in the Micheal Jackson Molestation trail. The prosecution is trying to pain Jackson as a sexual predator and someone who has a problem but will not admit to it. The defense is countering by trying to prove that the accusors mother is a gold digging scam artist and is just trying to shake down Jackson for money. Who will the jury believe? I think its going to be tough for the defense to get Jackson off this time. He shouldve stuck with Johnny Cochran. hehehe...We'll see how this thing plays out..

Speaking of played out, Kobe Bryant's Rape Trial has been postponed and there is now talk of a possible settlement between the two sides. A monetary settlement would probably be in the tens of millions of dollars as the victim is seeking compenstation for various things including emotional distress. An announcement could be coming in the next few days. Stay tuned...

OK, enough is enough. The Lakers lost to the KNICKS!! THE FRIGGN KNICKS!!!! What is the matter with these guys?? The Knicks??!! I mean sure, they rallied back to make it close. But when you are getting blown out by a team that you should by all indications beat easily...something is wrong. I predict a big shakeup of the roster in the offseason. Jerry Buss is NOT going to allow his team to become a laughing stock and be just another NBA team. With the prices the Lakers charge, they MUST win. People are not going to pay $700  for courtside seats to watch a team that is BARELY above .500!!! We need a new coach and some new players and possibly a new GM!! Becuase Mitch Kupchak is an idiot!! I'm sorry but he is. He thought it was a good idea to give Devean George, a highly overrated player, a fat contract. And when he had a chance to unload him and get a great shooter in Peja Staijokovic (spell check) he decides not to pursue the trade. Is George even going to play this season?? And what about Vlade?? Yeah, he did a "GREAT" job replacing Shaq!! sigh...sorry to go off on a tangent, but geez, this team has just hit rock bottom!!! 26 more games to go!! Can they hang onto that last spot?? We'll find out.

Spring Training start Tuesday for the Dodgers and the rest of Major League Baseball. The march is on for Opening Day in early April. I'm sure you're all waiting for my 05 preview...rriigghhtt...hehehe..if AOL cooperates you'll be seeing it in late March.

OK, thats all for this Tuesday edition! Hope you are all well and I'll see you next time!
