I know I am going back to the same well of a topic, but I can't let it go.

“Hello”
“Yeah is Chris there”
“Speaking”
“Hey Chris, it’s me Mitch again”
“Hey Mitch, You know I was expecting another call soon. I just finished watching the game against Phoenix”
“Oh… oh, you did”
“Yeah Mitch I did, you know that price for the rest of the year just went up a little bit every time Kwame Brown dribbled off his foot, and then again when he missed a point blank dunk.”
“Yeah Chris let’s get down to the part where you tell us exactly what it’s going to take to get Kwame Brown back on the pine”
Seriously the Lakers are ridiculous in the middle. Kwame Brown is just a head case, the minute he heard booing from the stands(which should never happen at home, not to the extent it did any way) he was done, he couldn't even dribble racking up 3 of his seven turnovers on consecutive plays. I like Ronny Turiaf he is a great spark off the bench but, that is what he is. He is not a starting center in this league, not even for two months.

Chris Webber is that the Lakers Calling
I just finished watching the Lakers game. It was unbearable. Mid-way through the third Kwame Brown over shot on a dunk (how do you miss a dunk, you are a proffesional basketball player, at leat that is what Mitch Kupchack claims) the crowd got on him with some boos but that was a warm welcom compared to the escalation as he turned the ball over on the next three trips down the floor.
Somebody get Chris Webber on the phone. The Lakers have no true center. Bynum suffered a knee injury sunday night that will have him out for 8 weeks. Mihm out for the rest of his life with the fact he is a giant, un-gainly, white guy.

Sports Rumors
Andrew Bynum was injured in Sunday night’s game against. Memphis when he came down on teammate Lamar Odom’s foot. A Monday morning MRI revealed a sublexation (see:owie) of the knee. He is expected to miss 8 weeks. In a suddenly related story Chris Webber seems to be on his way back to the NBA. I don’t think that is a great solution, but I think it is the only solution for a team that all of a sudden has only one center on the roster at all and that center is Kwame Brown. Looking past the current emergency the Lakers find themselves in, I think the bigger value may come in the form of C-Web’s veteran leadership, if the team can hold together while Bynum is out and make a run at the playoffs.
The NFL hands out the Philadelphia class fan award. I know the Eagles fans thought that booing Santa Claus would give them a lifetime lock on this award but no the Colts fans shockingly upset them by booing a 14-year old girl, at the start of the fourth quarter, when she was announced as one of the winners of the Punt, Pass, Kick competition.
