Don Imus is an idiot, first and formost. He puts himself on a pedestal like he can say the things he does without being reprimanded more severely than a measley two week suspension that will not take back the racial prejudcies he instilled to the hundreds of listeners that will be listening to him when the suspension is over. Too many people have too many thoughts on this, but if you are that popular, and you are a public figure, make sure you realize everything you say puts you in either a positive or negative light and becasue of your "influence" you are put to a higher standard than an average person on a radio station, like yours truly who is on Half Jewish sports on WRGW on Thursdays from 4-6PM.

KD- going to the draft and boy oh boy is one team going to feel stupid if they leave this guy on the board for the no. 2 team. While I agree a lot of teams could use an athletic center who has freakish talent like Oden does, think about the most succesful teams in the NBA: Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio, Detroit. What do these teams have in common: A big man who can shoot or a forward who can shoot and has "outside the paint" range: Nowitzki, Marion, Duncan, Wallace. The Mavs' and the Suns' uptempo offense is better suited for athletic seven footers who have lights out range, and even in SA and DET is a player like Durant going to be more valuable because he has the ability to develop a post game, yet already can hit NBA range three's. Anyone who puts up 37 and 23 in a college game against a Bobby Knight coached team should automatically be the number one pick in the draft if he is available. Nothing else too it.
Tiger losing- Yes the 10 of you who read this are probably laughing at me for predicting Tiger's 5th Masters victory would come this weekend, but I stand by the pick. Tiger was not himself, shot awfully and still came in second place in one of the four majors in golf. It is not any less of an accomplishment because Zach Johnson beat him, but I hate taking away credit from a man who so eloquently averted any major damage and played consistent golf in conditions that asked simply that you play Even par and Johnson did just that, hats off to being able to withstand the Tiger surge that never came. I was impressed.
