Josh Q. Public:Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can’t make head or tail of it. -Groucho Marx
Public Knowledge:
1. Rest in peace Myron Cope:
2. So now the leaders of a House committee want the Justice Department to investigate if Rocket Roger Clemens lied under oath about using performance-enhancing drugs. All I know is, this thing is going to cost a lot of time and a lot of money. A lot of time and a lot of money to find out what we already know. Roger Clemens used. Why couldn’t he have just told the truth? Honestly, would anyone have cared? Jason Giambi? He told the truth. He got Comeback Player of the Year. Andy Pettitte? He told the truth. He got himself a fresh new contract. Roger Clemens? He lied. He’s going to jail.
3. How are the Hornets still buzzing below the radar? You saw them last night. You saw them last night against Steve Nash and the mighty Phoenix Suns. You saw them complete a four-game sweep against Steve Nash and the mighty Phoenix Suns. Steve Nash and the mighty Phoenix Suns hadn’t been swept in a season-series of at least four games since 2003-04. I guess the Hornets have arrived. Chris Paul has arrived. Chris Paul had 25 points and a dollar fitty last night. Steve Nash had a meager eight points and a paltry buck thirty. In four head-to-head meetings this season, Paul has had one more assist than Nash while outscoring him by an average of more than ten points per game. MVP? What say you?
4. Larry Hughes had a game-high twenty-nine points last night. Drew Gooden had fifteen rebounds last night. Wally Szczerbiak went three for thirteen last night. Ben Wallace had six rebounds last night. I’m just saying.
5. Uh oh. Here come the Raptors. An adventure 65 Million years in the making. Well, thirteen years in the making, but you get my drift. Like Dr. Ellie Sattler always says: “I was overwhelmed by the power of this place; but I made a mistake, too. I didn’t have enough respect for that power and it’s out now.” Yes, it’s out now. The Raptors have won three in a row and five of six. In their five previous games, the Raptors’ average point differential was 11.6. Good for third in the NBA behind the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets. The Lakers and the Rockets who, with winning streaks of nine and 13 games, respectively, are the hottest teams in the NBA. In the East, there’s been a lot of talk about the Celtics. In the East, there’s been a lot of talk about the Pistons. In the East, somebody better start talking about the Raptors.
6. Jeremy Roenick? Really? That Jeremy Roenick? The Pride of Thayer Academy? That Jeremy Roenick? Over 100 points for three-straight seasons? That Jeremy Roenick? I thought he died. I guess the reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated. Jeremy Roenick had the game-winning goal for the Sharks’ last night. He only has ten goals this entire season. But, but, seven of them have been game-winners. Yowza! In NHL history, only two other players had seven game-winners in their first ten or fewer goals of a season. Wanna know who they are? Huh? Do ya? Sure you do. Both of them were defensemen. Does that help? The Maple Leafs’ Tim Horton hears a who in 1963-64 and that slap shooting fool, Al MacInnis in 1999-2000.
7. I was gonna do a little a fantasy baseball thing. I’m not. Who knows? I’m in so many leagues, I just may be in one with you. I’m not helping you.
8. No grunting allowed. A 9-year-old Australian girl has been banned from playing tennis at her local club over the noise she makes while competing. Are you listening Maria Sharapova? Are you listening Serena Williams? Are you listening Monica Seles? See what happens? See what you guys started? Hope you’re happy now.
9. Ty Law has been released by the Kansas City Chiefs. Ty Law was courtside at Boston’s Bank North Garden last night. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? I would like that. I would like that a lot.
10. I got my eye on this Milan Lucic character. The Boston Bruins Milan Lucic. Nineteen year-old Milan Lucic. The next Terry O’Reilly.

Please tell me that Maria was hungry at the time she sought to eat that banana ? Otherwise I'm going to have to start talking the girlfriend more often about eatin' bananas.
As for the Raptors they're good for the playoffs but not much more beyond that. Clemens'll look good in an orange jump suit and I'm sure that the likes of Greg Anderson can attest to that. But I for one doubt that he'll see the light of day inside a Federal pennitentary. It just ain't going to happen.
Roenick ? That's Roenick being Roenick .
As Law being back in New England he's not going back there unless it's in some other capacity.
See my posts on Brian Bosworth titled WWBB Do ? He Gave Up Football For Career In Hollywood. Also Rack 'em Stack 'em And Watch 'em What've We Learnt In The End ?
Let me know what you think as to the merits of the piece ? I'll look forward to reading your comments.
Tophatal: They say Vick has to pay for protection from the Mexican Gangs--He sees daylight--So will Clemens--His new cellie(an inbred bubba from the swamp)will inject him!!!!.... I love the lady with the bananna!!....

That's a lucky or unlucky banana. I think the former.
Clemens will always be looked at as a Big Fat Liar, who probably won't get jail time but may be shunned like McGuire and Palmeiro from the 'Hall', and maybe even worse, exiled like Rose.
what up JQ?
Anyone else in the mood for a banana split?
I'm probably in those fantasy leagues too... hmm, speaking of which, I never got to talk smack for beating you in that one final. OK enough of that.
Chris Paul is sick...
I figure he goes to jail-Others have been caught up in a lie before Congress and didnt, but they arent the President,AKA, Clinton. Even if he didnt do it, the damage is done! The only consolation for him is the $$ he made--He will always be remembered as a liar and a cheat--Its really sad--All he had to do was own up to it.
True sometimes it is... actually all of the time it is, just not to thousands of people out there.
Yeah I think I am in the one drafting tonight actually... I have to remember that it is going on... they're killing me by putting it on during LOST!! Can you say DVR? Or Auto pick?

I hear that Vick's sphincter tightens up whenever he enters a room where the cellmates are peeling bananas ? As for Clemens until the US Attorney General and Justice Dept say that it's their intent to indict I for one think that he'll get off. If not then somewhere along the lines his attorney Rusty Hardin'll be looking to cop a plea to a lesser crime on his client's part.
That's the way they always do it. And if it means him either being fined then so be it. But I'd rather see him doing some time at least.
I'd give Chris Paul my MVP vote, if it weren't already going to Lebron. Of course, Lebron should have been MVP last year as well.
I don't think the true impact of the Cleveland-Chicago trade will be known until the playoffs. That's when Wally World and Big Ben will take Cleveland up a peg. Then again, they still have to get by Boston and Detroit, to play in the Finals.
JoshQ
They can indict him but they've got to prove their case first. And looking at their track record when it comes to perjury other than Jones it's not been too impressive.
Other than Pettite their veracity of witnesses are pretty lean. And there's no way in hell that Clemens' wife will give evidence against him. No matter what they try to do. So where does that really leave 'em in the end ? The evidence they have may well be just circumstantial at best.

Myron...my die-hard Pitt fan friend loved Myron.
I said he was a terrible homer.
Perspective is the mother of all spite.
If I were on a Congressional committee, I'd be investigating the chestal regions of Ms. Clemens and Ms. ex-Jose. It has been the subject of the 98 party, I believe, so Congress should investigate. Look at those SI swimsuit shots from 2003, too.
No love for the Stars acquisition. The Wings have the most points and Dallas is on their trail.
OKC/N.O Hornets...only as good as they go deep into the playoffs. Paul is a monster.
I'm all for tossing the little tennis grunt. It's flattery at its worst.
slshusker - How many great local announcers weren't homers? Chick Hearn, maybe. Johnny Most - no way! You ever hear Tommy Heinson call a Celtics game? Myron was a homer, but he was a fun-loving, entertaining one.
moseby...your announcer and team stink.
That's the rule of the jungle.
No ill will towards the man.
Unfotunately one of the hilights that's always heard was claiming "...and it looks like he committed offensive interference and it's not being called." We wuz robbed.
The rule of the jungle is that you just gave an opinion of a homer. There are no facts to back up either contention. If you don't like Pittsburgh, fine. Who cares other than yourself?
josh q. public. For the public, by The Public. Irreverent sports opinion from a Bostonian in New York. The one blog to read, when you’re reading more than one. Good to the last drop!
