Crouching Tiger

Former Nets center Jason Williams was sentenced to five years in prison for fatally shooting his driver, five years ago.He'll be eligible for parole, and will probably be out, in 18 months. Plaxico Burress was almost immediately sent to jail for two years for carrying an unregistered weapon. Williams five years for murder, Plax two years for carrying an unregistered weapon. Williams was free for five years after hios crime, Plax was sent to jail a few months after. This is just wrong. I wonder if Williams would've gotten more time if he'd killed his driver with an unregistered weapon.

I don't know why Tiger Woods had to have a press conference on Friday. All anybody needed to hear from him is when he's coming back to golf. That's all that matters to the public. He didn't owe me or anyone else outside of his family and apolagy. He didn't cheat on me. He acted like so many other men do. None of them have to apolagize to everyone.

Knicks fans have real legitimate hope for the first time in years. You'll hear most Knicks fans say that they haven't been this excited since the late 90's when they went to the finals with Houston and Spreewell. That's not true. Knick fans were jumping for joy when the team dealt for Marbury and then again when they signed Larry Brown as head coach. We were wrong then, we might be again.Maybe they don't get LeBron or Wade or Bosh. Maybe they don't get any two max guys. That's not the end of the world. They could sign one max guy and, since their under the cap now, be in a position to relieve another team of a contract. They could potentially trade for Arenas, or be on the other side of the Jeffries trade, where they could basically rob a team of their draft picks in exchange for taking a contract off their hands. We whiffed on Marbury and Brown, but hopefully third time's the charm.

Oh and by the way, when are the olympics over? I'm really missing Thursday night NBC.
