West Coast Hatin Weekend: T.O. Oh no!

Traitorous bastard. I can't see this one ending well for the Cowboys (wasn't he dancing on their logo a few years back) but TO can be certain Philly fans will hate him for life.

LA Marathon 2006 (what did I learn?): When old people try to run marathons, they die of heart attacks.

World Baseball Classic 2006: I was back in SD this weekend and met up with some friends at the Hyatt downtown. The WBC teams are staying there (Byung Hyung Kim is apparently very nice and posed for photos, etc, per some of the hotel guests). In the middle of all this fanfare is the Cuban team, aimlessly wandering around the hotel lobby in circles because they aren't allowed to leave. Not allowed to talk to anyone bc they might speak ill of Cuba. It's just sad that some of these guys are so good at baseball and they can't come to the US to play pro ball, make millions, be famous, sell Nikes, hook up with Mariah Carey, etc.

Tourney scoop: News Flash: Illinois team spotted at Junior Seau's Restaurant by a fellow surgeon the night before they lost to Washington. Apparently they ate a lot of heavily fried fatty foods. This probably slowed them down.
