On a lighter note. Laker hater Bill Simmons was suspended for three weeks by ESPN. I wish they suspend that no talent geek forever!!

I'm going to go crazy and predict as high as the 6th seed.

THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT!!!

What'd he do?

What'd he do?

from Foxsports...


ll Simmons called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a liar during a profanity-laced tirade on his podcast this week and then dared his bosses at ESPN to punish him for his words.
On Wednesday, his bosses did just that as Simmons was suspended three weeks by ESPN.
Here's ESPN's statement:
"Every employee must be accountable to ESPN and those engaged in our editorial operations must also operate within ESPN's journalistic standards. We have worked hard to ensure that our recent NFL coverage has met that criteria. Bill Simmons did not meet those obligations in a recent podcast, and as a result we have suspended him for three weeks."
Here's what Simmons said on his podcast, the "B.S. Report":
"I really hope somebody calls me or emails me and says I'm in trouble for anything I say about Roger Goodell, because if one person says that to me, I'm going public. You leave me alone. The commissioner's a liar and I get to talk about that on my podcast. Thank you."
We might not hear from Simmons on Twitter during his suspension, according to Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch:

Backstage Lakers started back up on TWC Sportsnet yesterday. Lots of good Randle footage. I especially enjoyed the exclusive video of the 2 on 2 action during their pre-draft workout. I'm getting really excited to see what this kid can do against the big boys.

Anytime Simmonds is off the air, that is a good thing. What a complete douche!

if we somehow make it to the 7th or 8th spot i'd say we're going in the right direction...

With a healthy Kobe, I don't think there's any question we make the 8th spot in the West.

If Kobe goes down though...

Damn, can't get it. One of the downfalls of living abroad!

I'm sure Lakers.com and the TWC Sportsnet website will have plenty of good videos of it to watch.






I'll believe when I see, but damn I can't help but get optimistic at the prospect of Kobe busting the league up again!
