Back from vacation

It's good to be back at work and vacation is kind of weird. Instead of watching a ton of sports, I spent time with my family and even went to see "Iron Man" at Cinemark. Loved the movie and think everybody who enjoys a good comic book will like it. As for the rest of the sports world, here's a few observations:

As a Knicks fan, it pains me to say this but I'm rooting for a Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals. Maybe it's just nestolgia, but I remember the battles with Bird and Magic and think Kobe and Garnett could put on a great show. Of course, getting by Detroit and New Orleans will be no easy task.

DJ having his charges dropped was a no-brainer. Now, Jackson will attend a few NBA Pre Draft camps and receive his pro evaluation. Stefon will be told he has good athleticism, but needs to get stronger and develop a better outside shot. It doesn't take an NBA scout to notice the obvious.

The Yankees are doomed this season. In past years, if the Bombers struggled a little bit in April or May, you knew they would be back. Not this season. Inconsistent pitching and an aging offense makes Joe Girardi's team a Big Apple mess. And don't be surprised if the Mets fire Willie Randolph soon. He's lost contol of his team, especially in the clubhouse.
