Some sports writers continue to whine about the noise level emitted from women tennis players. For the rest of us slobs, let me say if two hot blondes named Nastyshia Skankalova and Slutsavana Badunkadunkia want to grunt and moan to each other, it is just fine with us pigs.

And I still don't know about the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmindinejad clown. He reminds me of a guy who starts a lot of conversations with; "Can I be honest with you?"

How about that Laker NBA Championship celebration? Honestly I have seen more emotional shoe store openings. Kobe Bryant is a great player, but when they handed him the trophy, the other players looked like the reluctant guests at the really rich kid's birthday party. "Oh, great, Little Lord Fauntleroy got another really expensive toy. Eww, goodie."

Two great NBA star multi-millionaires, Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard, are actually in a feud over who calls themselves Superman. If this intellectual skirmish escalates it may result in the dreaded; "I know you are, but what am I?" debate.

Phil Jackson does not have a record ten NBA championships by accident. He has a very complicated formula for success: first, teach a zen-like philosophy which results in positive mental karma; second, establish a physical environment with a feng shui positive energy flow and, what was that third and last one? Oh yeah, only coach teams that have by far and away the greatest player/players in the league.

The great Phil Jackson rhetorical question: if you roll the balls out at practice and the greatest player/players in the league are not there to pick them up, will that impress the team owner's hot cougar daughter?

All joking aside, there is no doubt Phil Jackson instills the attitude of a natural born winner, but Michael Jordan, a younger Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant can do wonders for a coach's basketball I.Q.

Have to admit it
Dunkin Donuts has announced a new donut flavor called, "Toffee for your Coffee."
Have to admit this is better than my idea: Dough for your Joe.


Great timing
The English language has added its one millionth word. This for a culture that can't come up with anything interesting to say in 144 characters on Twitter.

"Tick tock, tick tock."
On "Sixty Minutes" Steve Croft did a segment that featured clips of $50 billion-stealer, Bernie Madoff. My word, the man was pompous, unbearably arrogant, smug, dismissive and rude. And Bernie Madoff was even worse than Croft.
