At the weighing in

189 this morning, down a total of 4 pounds from the start. Should have posted yesterday when I was at 188.5. Bleah...

And as an addendum to Our Dumb Weekend, I present you with Kobe Bryant...
After being smoked for 60 points by Washington's Gilbert Arenas, whom Bryant was guarding, Bryant had this to say, "He doesn't seem to have much of a conscience. I really don't think he does. Some of the shots he took tonight, you miss those, and they're just terrible shots. Awful.
"You make them and they're unbelievable shots."

Isn't that kind of like saying, "you know, if the Patriots didn't get on that eight game winning streak at the end of the 2001 season, they wouldn't have won the Super Bowl that year"?

This from a guy who I've seen in playoff games lay more bricks than a mason.
