The question: You are coaching for Faith Baptist. At what point in the game do you make it known to the other coach that if young Mr. Taylor takes another shot that The Lord, or perhaps one of your bench players, will verily smite Mr. Taylor so as to preclude additional gratuitous scoring opportunities? Alternatively, how would you propose to halt this unsportsmanlike display?

No later than mid second half. The Grinnell coach should be ashamed of himself.

The Lord willed this; I think it's a message to Faith Baptist that they are JV in so many ways.

Reporter: Kobe, a college kid scored 138 points tonight and took over 100 shots ...

Bryant: "Wow ... No kidding? Where?"

Reporter: Grinnell college in Iowa.

Bryant: "Really? Wow. That's impressive. That's crazy. I don't care what level you're at. Scoring 138 points is pretty insane. How many 3s did he shoot?"

Reporter: 71.

Bryant: "Holy sh--. How many points did they score as a team?"

Reporter: 179.

Bryant: "What?!"

Reporter: No other starter had double figures.

Bryant: "That's incredible."

Reporter: Dude on the other team scored 71 points and lost.

Bryant: "That's amazing. He must have been wearing the Mambas, man. Only Mambas have no conscious to shoot the ball like that."

Reporter: If you did that, would people be celebrating you?

Bryant: "Would people be celebrating me if I scored 138 points? You know how it is, some people would, some people wouldn't. They can all kiss my a-- as I'm sure he feels the same way. If you score 138 points, you kind of have a license to tell people to f--- off."

One of the reasons we pulled my son out of basketball was that he had a tendency to commit fouls like this:

The original hooking of the arm isn't but the follow through driving him through the parquet was what made Rodman awesome.

the show will happen as long as nothing too bad happens in my life.

p.s. who is fiona apple?

Hah! Slave and I saw her a couple of months ago (and six years ago). Her music and voice is awesome and incredible, freakish yet compelling, but she has been, and apparently still is, is a barely functional human being that would be a bag lady with dozens of cats, if it were not for her musical autism.

Oh, and, Katie Price has followed Carol Doda - http://blog.sfgate.com/dailydish/201...ifth-boob-job/ . End of an era. She'll be back bigger than ever, but you won't want to see what it looks like under the lingerie. Having recently achieved "closure" with a chick I desperately wanted in college (hi, facebook), but who has since had four kids and a boob reduction, I am firmly (please) back on the younger, no-kids, train.

The only sports franchise I gave a shit about loses 15 scholarships each of the next three years, and I've no choice but to be an Alabama fan in bowl season this year. Yes, I love it.

*Not directed at you, Coltrane, but generally, why do so many people assume the Irish/marginally Irish must all be ND fans? That by random chance I happen to share certain cultural accoutrements with its base of fan boys dictates I'm also a fan?

If there's an inside handshake among those with Celtic roots (akin to the Mormon hook-each-other-up thing), somebody please let me know. If it'll get me a better interest rate on loans, or some cushy well-paid in-house gig, I'll wear the green and gold. I'll profess an undying love for Jameson's. Fuck... I'll join the Hibernian Society (and pretend the Eastern European and English blood in me is just a rumor).

And the rumor still persists: One day soon, Texas.

I think you meant this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&fe...&v=lO8iXi6092Y Larry Bird should have been suspended for a year for the unjustified punching.

Now that's a bad foul.
