1. Given the choice to play for the Mad Russian and Jay-Z in Brooklyn or play your home games in the mecca that is Madison Square Garden, which option would you choose? The Knicks vs. Nets discussion, all of a sudden, is a real one.

2. If Chipper Jones continues to contribute on a regular basis, do you really think he will hang up the cleats this season?

3. How can "Friday Night Lights" get 3 million viewers and "Wipe Out" get 17 million? Trust me, there has never been a finer acted show in TV history than that -- and no, I am not talking about "Wipe Out."

4. Why are the sandwiches and now the burger at Muss and Turner’s in Vinings so much better than anywhere else in town? Good news by the way: that same team just took over the recently closed Joel space over at I-75 and West Paces Ferry. Very ...

One of the most entertaining parts of the NBA Finals are the postgame Phil Jackson press conferences. He is relaxed, edgy, funny and almost totally candid. You get a chance to see his competitive nature, how he might interact with his players and what really and truly agitates him.

When you have 10 NBA titles, you don’t have worries about who you might be offending and will say pretty much whatever is on your mind. I love the way he is forced to describe what he just saw that night from Ron Artest -- fascinating TV.

 

I just watched the movie “Bruno” for the first time and I will tell you -- that movie has some outright hysterical parts. The sequences with the adopted baby O.J. are simply priceless.

 

There have been few things as tough to watch in recent Atlanta sports history as the 2010 Chipper Jones season.

 

Of all ...

1. Paul Pierce will have a moment where he is fouled going to the basket, and he will go down like there is a sniper who took him out in the upper deck. After a dramatic four minutes on the floor, he will gingerly get up and drill two foul shots. What a hero.

2. Pau Gasol will get banged around by Kedrick Perkins and Rasheed Wallace and give that whiny European face to the referee, begging for a call.

3. Marc Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen will be thoroughly entertaining on the ABC broadcast. On a similar note, Magic Johnson will look like he is forcing it when trying to be critical of the Lakers, and will give us virtually zero insight that we could not have gotten from the guy at the next cubicle.

4. Rajon Rondo will be as entertaining to watch as any Celtic ...

I will be left scratching my head at the series finale of "Lost" and saying, "Is that really all there is?" This, by the way, is less of an indictment on the program and more of an indictment of the fans of the show, like myself. We all have this incredibly unrealistic expectation regarding how one should feel when this series ends. Think "The Sopranos" five years ago and the uproar that little final scene in the diner caused. We wanted Tony whacked, Carmela decapitated, Meadow to marry an FBI agent, whatever. Likewise, we need this Lost finale to be legendary, leave our mouth agape, change the way we look at the universe and interact with the world. What do we want, Jack to be God, Locke to represent Dante's Inferno, Hurley to actually be the Greek God Dionnysus?

Whatever. Let's enjoy the show for what it was -- wonderfully written, ...
