Purple reign

Another NBA season is done and the LA Lakers are the rightful champions. Kobe Bryant had himself a hell of a season: Olympic gold to start in August, and the NBA title to finish. As an added bonus, we won't have to hear anymore of the talk that the game's best can't win without Shaq. Phil Jackson got his 10th ring, the most all time, and incredibly, has coached 10 of the last 19 championship sides. Isn't it weird seeing the championship trophy passed to the owner first? I don't know why the NBA and NFL do that, almost as lame as Kobe Bryant rolling his family up onto the podium. And how great is that picture of Adam Morrison on the podium, decked out in a suit with the look of someone whose dog had just been hit by a car?...the idea that the Toronto Blue Jays - now tied with the Tampa Bay Rays - may start Roy Halladay next weekend in Washington, where he'd have to hit and run with a balky groin is moronic in the extreme. They don't need him to beat Washington, or at least one would think so. Wonder how much two complete games prior to the start Friday - one in which he tossed 133 pitches - may have had to do with the groin issue?...the Jays were swept by the Florida Marlins and are 0-6 in Interleague play, 4-16 against the Marlins all-time...Johan Santana got pounded for nine runs in three innings while AJ Burnett had arguably his best start of the year as the New York Yankees pounded the cross-town Mets 15-0...Detroit Red Wings defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom was hurting badly during the Stanley Cup finals after he suffered a "near catastrophic testicle injury" after being speared by Patrick Sharp in game 3 of the previous series against Chicago. Ouch...the way Sidney Crosby is being criticized for every false move - or even perceived false move - you'd think he was A-Rod. The guy can seemingly do no right in the eyes of some...the Confederations Cup is under way in South Africa and Spain opened it with a torrent from Torres, who scored three, in Spain's 5-0 clinic over New Zealand. Brazil takes un Egypt today, and the U.S. faces Italy...have a great Monday.
