I'm giving this public notice so no one claims I got a head start.

sports guy's take- for what it's worth, last night in the last few minutes the celts had a break and to the left of the screen I saw LeBron jogging back- game was almost over, but not over- first team all NBA defender was jogging back- T Prince has a ring because he didn't jog back on a break away.
  • Because the other part feels as if we learned something substantial about LeBron James this spring. I always thought his ceiling looked like this: Jordan's DNA crossed with Magic's DNA crossed with Bo Jackson. Nope. Take the Jordan DNA out. Have to. Jordan was a ruthless mother******. Jordan was a killer. Jordan didn't care if his teammates despised him. Jordan never, ever, not in a million years, would have allowed his team to quit in the final two minutes of Thursday night's game the way LeBron did. His teammates feared him, loathed him, revered him and played accordingly. Bird had that same quality. In the second half of his career, so did Magic. Winning meant so much to those guys that their teammates almost didn't have a choice; they had to follow suit. Or else.

    LeBron James is 25 years old. He has played seven seasons -- 548 regular-season games and 71 playoff games. There's a feeling that he can still get better and, with better teammates, maybe he could. But fundamentally, to paraphrase Bill Parcells, he is what he is at this point -- a gregarious, larger-than-life, supremely gifted basketball player who's better at making us say "WOW!" than anything else. If he owned that cutthroat Jordan chromosome, or Magic's leadership chromosome, it would have surfaced by now. In Wednesday's column before Game 6, I mentioned how there comes a point in every great player's career when you have to pour the cement, let it harden and see what you have. We poured the cement for LeBron in this series. It hardened last night. We know what we have.

    And last night, LeBron's DNA finally made sense to me. Throw Jordan out. Throw Magic out, too, except for the "controls sections of a game with passing/rebounding" part. Keep Bo. Now, add this guy … Julius Erving.

thought to all Minnies who went to a Friday fish fry last night- with the Gulf situation, do you really think it symbolically valid to expose even more fish to oil?

A good start, but I think wine is also necessary.

USAA also reimburses all ATM fees. I use them for my insurance, and they rock.

Truly. They are THE BEST. I'm trying to convince my current FIL to sign up. He's a WWII veteran, and 93 years old. If he doesn't do it soon, my eligibility is going to dry up!

I got a "holy shit where the hell have you been" followed by a mini tour of certain Black Sabbath songs from my boyfriend yesterday when I confessed the same thing.

I myself am banking on a new economy based upon brisket.

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Or, circa 2007, "Housing prices have always gone up."

I'm just saying. If there is no explanation other than "that's what it's always been," then that's what I already thought.

Not that I don't see the sense of what you are saying, but, one bet I'd make is that in the doomsday wourld, gold retains more value than the benjies.
