Thank goodness for the NFL draft

At least with all the football news lately, some of the attention has been diverted from the debacle we're calling the Lakers' 2010 playoff run. The K-Bros predicted a repeat of last year's Rocket series for the entire playoffs, but unless the Lakers show on Monday night that they can win when they have to (something we really haven't seen this year at all), there might only be one round.

Seriously, I'm already trying to picture who's coming in next year to replace some of the non-producing slugs on the current roster. And yes, things might have been different with a healthy Kobe and even a shred of continuity for this year, but this certainly doesn't feel like a 1-8 matchup. Of course, that might have something to do with OKC having the same record as Boston and that they would've been a 4 seed in the East. Any ideas? Somebody talk me down...

New Giants or Same Giants? Lincecum has been ridiculous, Zito's actually starting to earn his salary, and we've seen flashes of hope from the offense. But we still don't score for Cain and I think I'd do a better job in the rotation's 5 spot. Madison Bumgarner anyone?

Seahawks are making some noise Wasn't sure about the Whitehurst deal, but McCoy and Clausen dropping like millstones makes me think Carroll might know a little about NFL QB's. Liked the draft picks--especially Golden Tate. (See below) and loved the pick up of LenDale White. Only about 4 more months until we know if any of this worked!

Out.
