April showers bring..

Kobe in the lottery. Ah that's nice to type. Do you think Mr. Bryant will be at the announcement in Seacaucus? No one else probably cares because they are bitching about Vince Carter's re-emergence in Toronto. Can you believe an athlete would dog it in order to force a trade? Haven't any of these sports radio windbags ever mailed it in during the last weeks of a job? I know I have. Anyway, look for the Spurs and Heat to have some 1st round trouble. I think the Nuggets have a better chance for the update though the rest of the series' should hold form. I still like San Antonio out West and Detroit in the East. Forget what you saw in the regular season, officiating is different in May and June-just ask Hugh Hollins.

This is obviously Mel Kiper's big weekend. All the mock drafts and rumors are flying. I ask why the Niners must take Smith or Rodgers. Don't they have bigger needs than QB? Teams who follow the regular path get left behind. Remember to take the road less travelled, it will make all the difference.
