* Gasol and the Lakers played tough this week knocking off Boston and Cleveland on the road.
* A-Fraud shows that baseball is in horrible shape...was anyone NOT doping? Here is Jeff Passan's take, "...he (Rodriguez) still has no saintly clue who he is: family man or cheat, religious man or agnostic, Dominican or American." Here is the whole article from Passan.
* Sean Casey wondering how A-Rod's name got out is a little disingenuous. Since when did right stop being right, and wrong stop being wrong. This country is built on the following premises "if I don't get caught, I didn't do anything wrong" and "if you aren't cheating, you are trying"...A-Rod, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens are cheaters...and apparently so are about 103 other major league players.
* Congress passes the new stimulus plan - does anyone else wonder how we are going to pay for this? If I print money at my house...they call it counterfeiting...hmmmm!
* USC's recruiting class will be great. Telfort and Jones are going to make Trojan fans forget about Te'o and Burfict...one who can't hack it academically, the other can't hack it without his friend.
* I know I ramble about it a lot...but it is worth repeating. Barack Obama wants to raise our taxes, BUT he keeps appointing guys who don't want to pay taxes!
Coming soon...

Ramblings, musings, etc...
This is just things that I have been thinking about a lot. Hopefully, they do not bore you...
- tomorrow is national letter of intent day for College Football. USC is poised to have a great class if they can convince Vontaze Burfict (from my town - Corona), Randall Carroll (seems like this would be simple, what with the guy having the same last name as the coach), Alshon Jeffery from de-committing.
- Tom Daschle withdraws from HHS nomination. Good move since Barack Obama wants to raise taxes and he keeps appointing guys who do NOT want to pay taxes! PS - paying your taxes after the fact is not honest...it is saving face after getting CAUGHT!
- if congress forces banks to modify peoples loans which could include but is not limited to lowering interest rates, lowering loan amounts (which basically consists of the person selling the house short to themselves) - then the whole individual credit ranking would be a worthless measure. All of the people foreclosed BEFORE the bailout would need to be relieved of the foreclosure on their credit.
- Kobe Bryant scored 61 points at MSG last night - helping to alleviate the sting of losing Andrew Bynum for the next 3 months (minimum). Pau Gasol is great a beating up bad front lines...see the Knicks, the Atlanta Hawks, etc...BUT he is going to have serious issues manning the middle against the Celtics, Magic, Cavs, Spurs...hopefully, '09 is not a repeat of '08.
- The Super Bowl was extremely boring for 52 minutes (nearly 3 hours in real life), but very entertaining for the last 8 minutes. Larry Fitzgerald is the man!
- Kenny Chesney's Lucky Old Sun is a great album. Makes me want to sit on the beach and drink (I know...I don't even drink)! You should check out his song The Life.
- California's debt has been downgraded to the lowest rated state by S&P. Should we be surprised??? No. Riverside and San Bernardino just announced letting go of approximately 450 firefighters and police officers.
