Sports arguments are always much more fun when nothing gets personal and opposing fans can still shake hands after the game. Having been guilty of being a poor sport myself on a few occasions, eventually I realized how poorly it reflected on myself as a sports fan when I didn't respect the fans of my teams' opponents. Name-calling and genuinely mean-spirited arguments don't help win the argument, and only lower the opinions others have of the person making them. My two cents.

Looks like I need to upgrade from my James Brown Funky People comps. Love these ladies!

Man, that really sucks. RIP, Steve.

Happy Birthday!

I was at the Rose Bowl yesterday to watch the Bruins take on the Utes from Utah. UCLA's new starting QB Ben Olson looked really solid and threw for over 300 yards and 2 TDs. The game was closer than the final score indicates, the Bruins got a lot of lucky breaks. A win's a win!

The US puts their team together right before the tournament and expects to beat teams who play together year-round. Playing basketball as a team simply doesn't happen overnight. Defensively, they couldn't adjust to a simple pick and roll being run very well by Greece. Though the US team was clearly comprised of fantastic atheletes, many of them are young players who haven't won anything at the professional level (with the exception of Dwyane Wade).

Happy Birthday!

PM sent, Head Man.

I have the first volume of the anthology, the one with the cover like Lee Morgan's Cornbread. I didn't shell out thirty clams for it.

EH - Realization--Pretty steep at $30. Hopefully I'll be able to find it for less at some point. Thanks for the link, Mike.

I had one Roni Size album and didn't dig it at all. It had an album cover which looked like Space Invaders. Too noisy for my tastes. I recall wanting to pick up some of those Nuyorican Soul discs and passing due to a steep price. Maybe I'll give Roni another chance in that context.

Yep, I tried to get the Henderson Mwandishi album too. No dice. I should have been watching that place! Thanks to Rostasi for playing Priester's Love, Love on his "rodcast" this morning. That's a good one! Rostasi also played Bennie Maupin's Driving While Black which also is pretty cool.

Congratulations!

Perhaps one for analakog--er, akanalog?

Aha, you clever son of a gun. I'm listening to this now. Nice, thanks! Can't seem to get Priester's Love Love and one of the Miles shows. Must be gone.

Don't drive angry!

Where did you download it, Guy? I've wanted this album for a while.

TD, keep an eye out for BMG offering $6.33 discs with free shipping when you order 5 or more. Basically yourmusic prices. That's the only time I've used my BMG account since joining yourmusic.

Nellie! Shaq's favorite opposing coach.

I don't know about that SS. Leinart played convincingly well in the last two preseason games. I think he looks ready to start.

Sounds like a "must buy."

Conn, I haven't joined the fantasy football league. Did the draft already happen?
