Today’s photo of the day shows Bobby and Whitney’s daughter, Bobby Christina, gettin’ blazed in front of a camera. I wonder who’s going to give her the “Just Say No” speech…

Quote of the Day

November 27, 2007 by Marc Lamont Hill

black-thought.jpg
You're physically in this, but how could we tell
If we was meant to be in bliss if you're not mentally as well?
This energy you're sending me is tricky as hell
Usually it's like a 50/50, we could take a L
Before we start things, at this point being apart brings
The feeling of somebody plucking at your heart strings
I know it probably shouldn't feel like this
But any other woman I see is in your likeness
It's from your cheekbones
Yo your lips, to your curves, to your deep moans
To that walk, to your words
You love feeling like a breakdown on the verge
First we on good terms, then you on my last nerves
Got my back just aching, my shoes is all tight
It's too complex when we choose to do it right
It's wrong, one minute you a soldier strong
Then you trying to route talking about it's over and gone

R.I.P. Sean Taylor

Last night, Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died of a fatal gunshot wound to the leg. The injury was suffered during a robbery attempt at his home. His fiancee and 18-month-old daughter, both of whom were in the house at the time, were unharmed. My deepest sympathy  goes out to his family and friends during these troubling times.

May He Rest In Peace

Sports Quickies

  • The Eagles must be the happiest losers in years. After standing up to the Patriots and taking the game to the last seconds, the team has a renewed sense of pride and cohesiveness. The only challenge will be maintaining that momentum once McNabb comes back. If they can, they have an outside chance of winning the final wildcard spot.
  • Kevin Durant may be the most frustrating player in the league to watch. Despite having all-world talent, the rookie phenom has absolutely no discipline and on-the-court work ethic. Despite being 6′10, Durant only averages 6 rebounds. Despite being able to get to the basket at will, he settles for quick 25 footers with a hand in his face. Maybe P.J. Carlesimo’s tough-as-nails style will instill some much needed patience and passion in his game.
  • Given his recent indictment, it is likely that Barry Bonds has played his final game. What a sad way to end the greatest career in baseball history. Let’s hope this pesky indictment goes away and he can play one last season as an American League DH.
  • Can someone give me a good reason why there’ still no playoff system in college football?
  • After the first dozen games, the Boston Celtics look like the beast of the East. In addition to the Big Three, the defense has been strong and the bench has added much needed support. At this rate, they’ll win 65 games.I’m still, however, holding on to my prediction that they’ll lose in the Eastern Finals. I’m not being stubborn (yet), I just need to see what happens when the adrenaline wears off. Besides, the Bulls may be more likely to be the trigger on a Kobe trade in a few weeks.
  • Why is Isiah Thomas still employed?
  • The Mets Suck
