Brett Favre - The Green Bay quarterback never took a game off during his 16 years with Packers and became the face of the franchise, setting myriad of records, most notably for most career NFL touchdown passes (442), most career NFL passing yards (61,655) and most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks (253).

We’re not only not in Lakerdom anymore, we’re about as far away as we can get. This is the Anti-Lakerdom, the place and the time of year when visiting Lakers find the ground giving way under them, to the delight of local fans. They could be great teams like the Showtime Lakers who had four titles when the young Karl Malone-John Stockton team jumped them in 1988 .

When you think of those great Laker Showtime teams of the 80s, who do you think of?  Magic? Kareem? Worthy?  Right.  And then somewhere down the line you remember Byron Scott.  All the guy does is be smack dab in the middle of winning basketball teams.

On Tuesday, I sent an email to the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Terry Pluto about this piece that he wrote on Monday before Game 4. Pluto spent a lot of time explaining the way contracts work in the NBA and how it would be very difficult for a team other than the Cavaliers to lure LeBron James after 2010.

Guarantees aren’t what they used to mean. Back in the day before people like Chad Johnson routinely guaranteed Bengals’ victories, the guarantee used to mean something. It took some actual guts and moxy for Joe Namiath to guarantee victory over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts.

My Rant- We all know who Mike D’Antoni is. He’s currently the head coach of the Phoenix Suns. He’s a guy who holds American and Italian dual citizenship. D’Antonis dual citizenship makes him the first Italian ever to lead an NBA team. He is fluent in both English and Italian.

I hear it often, ‘he’s too mean’ or, ‘I don’t get along with the coach there’, and sometimes, ‘they scream too much, I can’t play for someone who screams at me…’ WJTV is reporting Alcorn State has hired Larry Smith as their new men’s head basketball coach.

That has to be the most over-used and overrated term ever in the history of sports! Avery Johnson was fired by the Dallas Mavericks yesterday. I thought he was considered a player’s coach? Wasn’t he just named coach of the year two years ago? I recall Tony Dungy being fired by the Tampa Bay Bucs and he was regarded as a player’s coach.
