Like every man on this planet when it comes to sports, I know that I am right and you are wrong. Being that this' is the first in a series of columns, I thought I might hit you with my brief opinions on some of the major issues in the sports world today. Let’s start off with Kobe Bryant. Kobe, Kobe, Kobe! You had the world, dawg, and now the world knows you like white girls. If he is guilty of violating this girl, I say lock him up and stick him in a cell with Mike Tyson. I just hope Kobe didn’t do it, even if he is a stinking Laker. Staying positive with all of this, it’s time to move on to Pete Rose. You’re a liar, homie, and a lot of people are not going to be able to forgive you. Nonetheless, Rose should be let back into baseball. His numbers merit an induction in the Baseball Hall of Fame and it would be a good boost for a game that has recently lost its appeal. On the other hand, I don’t think that Rose should ever man age again. There should be a shrine in Cooperstown that com memorates Rose and everything he has done for baseball, even the negative things. Now let us shift to an issue that is close to home: my beloved Pordand Trail Blazers. I love the Blazers and I have no beef with this team. It’s time for the city of Portland to start hollering at this team in a positive way. Then the players might parlay some of this talent into a few W’s. It’s time for the city to support this team, even if some of the players don’t act right. It doesn’t matter if the Blazers smoke that “act right,” as long as they play right. I could go on for ever when it comes to the Blazers, but everyone should know this right now: don’t talk smack about the Blazers in front of this sports editor or you will get a mean mug followed by a cold stare. Last but not least, I want to make a Super Bowl prediction. I say the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl next season. Oh yeah, and the Panthers’ defense will bone-crush the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVIII, 28-14. This column will appear bi weekly, as I will alternate columns with my homeboy, sports copy edi tor and fellow sports genius Frank Jordan. If you have any questions, comments or beefs with this or any of my columns, write a letter to the sports editor or e-mail me at sportsed@clackamas.edu. I will holler back at y’all in two weeks. Gone.
