Quick Hits

I’m tired of hearing about Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds and if they are going to retire....Clemens is obviously waiting to see how he pitches in the World Baseball Classic this way he could drain some team’s money.....and Bonds keeps waffling about this being his last season.....I just say to both of them, "retire already!!".....

Looks like the New York Knicks are close to trading for Orlando’s Steve Francis.....is this the trade that helps the Knicks upswing or is it just another big name who flops in the Big Apple?....

Whatever happened to Bernard King?......

I think George Bush and his administration made the wrong choice by having a country from the Middle East work on key U.S. ports....

Is it just me or does W. look like he lost a few pounds?....

A few years back it looked like tennis player Martina Hingis was never going to win another major....but after a brief retirement stint, Hingis has come back with a new fire....she will win either the French, Wimbledon, or U.S. Open this year....

Russian figure skater Irina Slutskaya is highly underrated.....she’s been skating for as long as Michelle Kwan and has been very successful but she does not get the recognition from the American media...

Bode Miller better go back to skiing loaded because he has not squat while skiing sober.....

Fact - Ricky Williams is a dumbass......

I bought a NASCAR magazine today because I am hoping to better understand the sport.....

I wonder if Drew Brees’ shoulder injury in the last game of the season is more serious than originally diagnosed.....today the San Diego Chargers are going to let Brees test the free agent market....you just don’t let a good 27-year old quarterback walk unless there is a reason....

Finally, most of the young folks don’t know the name Curt Gowdy....however, as a young boy, I was fortunate enough to hear Gowdy broadcast sporting events in his later years.....the 86-year old Gowdy died on Monday from leukemia.....his legacy in the sports broadcasting business has been cemented for years.....those who never heard him sure missed out.....
