		<description>From Congressman Steve Cohen:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;It&#039;s a restrain of trade on these kids, and you see it in the NFL and NBA,&quot; Cohen said. &quot;You don&#039;t see it in Major League Baseball. I was watching the [Memphis] Redbirds play ... and I was looking at the field and there wasn&#039;t an African-American player on the field when the Iowa Cubs played the Redbirds [in a Triple-A baseball game]. I didn&#039;t see one on either team, and I thought, &#039;This is a white sport. And tennis is a white sport. And golf is a white sport. And swimming is a white sport. And hockey is a white sport. And they don&#039;t have these restrictions. But basketball and football are predominantly African-American sports, and that&#039;s where they have the rule that forces players into college [instead of] going straight to the pros. Something here doesn&#039;t compute.&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;
------------------------------

As an aside, I wouldn&#039;t expect to see any deep emotional displays from any of the &#039;leading lights&#039; unless they experienced a similarly profound loss leading up to the Finals.  As long as the Jelly is in the Bean, it&#039;s going to be smiles from cheek to cheek; or pouts from coast to coast.</description>

		<description>LA in 6.  5, if the offense is working correctly, and Orlando isn&#039;t hitting it&#039;s outside shots.

They won&#039;t rent to T.O. in Orchard Park, NY:

		<description>La in 7 if Stan actually feeds the big monster Howard.

LA in 4 if Stan doesn&#039;t give Howard the ball like he did against the Celtics.

As far as Kobe crying like mike did after the 91 and 96 finals. That ain&#039;t gonna happen.........Kobe seems like a kat who trys to be cool. And crying ain&#039;t cool.

He will break down and cry when he is at home with wifey and the kids.</description>
