Random Thoughts

- The Lakers re-hired Phil Jackson as coach after letting him go a year ago. It was rumored that Kobe Bryant fueled his departure, but now Kobe issued a statement saying he welcomed Jackson back. Kobe must've realized that losing Shaq and Jackson, who has 9 NBA Championships, meant the difference in about twenty losses between 2004 and 2005. I guess he figured he would try to get at least one of them back.
- Ricky Williams is trying to return to football after abruptly retiring days before training camp last year. He claimed he had no more passion for football and his "lifestyle" didn't fit. Apparently, his "lifestyle" consisted of doing many drugs, since it was revealed that he failed three drugs tests and was going to be suspended for three games. Of course, the $8.6 million dollars that the Dolphins claimed Williams owed them might've had a little influence on his decision to return to the playing field.
- In actual sports action, Detroit won Game 3 of the NBA Finals and cut the Spurs lead in the best of seven series to 2-1. If Detroit can win Game 4 tomorrow night (also played in Detroit), then the series would get really interesting. I hope that happens, because I'm all about sports DRAMA.
