Morning Sports Shorts 6/18
9.5 hours til the Horns roast the piggies...
Kobe in, Shaq out?: Now I'm no NBA guru, but if I would take the big man over Bryant. Shaq has reached the Finals without Kobe, but Kobe's never gotten there without Shaq. Kobe's younger, I realize, but Shaq is still the most menacing force in the league.
Rahman's return: Former heavyweight champ Hasim Rahman's third win in 99 days apparently has him back in title contention. What does it say about boxing today that Rock, who went 0-3-1 after upsetting Lennox Lewis, attains the WBA's No. One contender slot by beating up three tomato cans? I think that Glass Joe could contend in today's heavyweight ranks.
NBA Finals Q&A: Bill Simmons asks -- and answers -- the tough questions about the recently concluded NBA Finals. Remarkably, he nevers asks -- or answers -- how he stayed awake through that snoozer of a series.
Emmitt's No. 1: Is Emmitt still continuing this charade of a post-Dallas football career? The real losers in this sad story are the fourteen Cardinals fans who have to go through the annoying process of manually moving Marcell Shipp into the starter role on Madden 2005. Of course half of them will just end up creating themselves as the RB, complete with 100s across the board on the attribute levels.
Tony talks about the CWS: Tony Gwynn gives a preview of the College World Series, which starts today. He's hesitant to over-prop any specific team. C'mon Tony, it's okay to tell the truth: Texas is going to wax the field.
Delhomme gets $58 Million: Something tells me that as this became public, Jim McIlvaine called the Panther's QB to congratulate him.
