Thoughts

Kobe Bryant wasn't feeling well going into game 6 last night at Denver. He felt even worse when it was over, as the Lakers got kicked. There will be a game 7 in LA and everyone is expecting the Lakers to bounce back after two straight losses. But rooting AGAINST the Lakers makes it easier for me to watch NBA basketball. Go Nuggets! (Sorry Myron.)

I have more faith in jurors after hearing the latest in the Amy Senser verdict. It seems the jurors wrote an additional note to the judge when they handed him their verdict. It said that they believed AMY did not not know she hit someone when she had the accident. They wanted the judge to read that statement along with the verdict.

Now I'm really confused. What were they instructed to vote on by the judge? IF they didn't find her negligent (and they didn't) AND they didn't think she even knew she hit someone (as the note said), isn't the that the very definition of accident?

In other words, the victim was in the wrong spot at the wrong time and he accidently got hit by her vehicle. Why was she found guilty of anything other than failing to admit she did it when she heard the news? Was their pressure to FIND her guilty just because of her celebrity status? This ruling was just wrong. AND the judge KNEW this before he read the verdict? A first year law student would know better...

Cris Carter has admitted that HE had bounties out on defensive players who threatened him. I mentioned in a previous post that bounties have been common (and ARE common) but that we'd only find out about it when players retired. It appears I was right again. Anybody else think that more of these types of stories will be coming out in the next few months?

  1. More stories will come out if it's a benefit to the player who tells the story.
