Josh Q. Public:A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes. -Mark Twain
Public Knowledge:
1. King James. Long live the King. King James recorded his seventeenth career triple double last night. Triple trouble. LeBron is now tied for twenty-first all time. Tied for twenty-first all time with Scottie Pippen and Bill Russell. Now, if they only counted blocks back then, would the King still be tied with Russell? I don’t think so. Wait, it gets better. LeBron led the Cavs in points, rebounds and assists last night. The 46th time in his career he led the Cavs in points, rebounds and assists. Since 2004, James’ first season in the NBA, only one player has done that more. That’s right, my man, the Big Ticket.
2. Dwyane Wade will miss the remainder of the season. Will miss the remainder of the season so he can further rehabilitate his surgically repaired left knee. Maybe it’s me, but I don’t think the Flash will ever return to his old flashiness. Think Ken Griffey Jr. Think Yao. Think Eric Lindros. Think Grant Hill. Think Terrell Davis. Think those guys there. Oh, what could have been.
3. No gnews is good gnews. Here’s the good gnews. Team doctors have told Boom Boom Beckett his sore back is gnot result of a disc problem. Phew! Here’s the bad gnews. Boom Boom Beckett is still hurting, and gnot planning to throw again until the problem is resolved. Let’s get that problem solved before opening day, shall we? Roll Sox roll!
4. Often imitated, never duplicated. Dikembe Mutumbo:
5. Shaun Alexander is not a happy man. He thought he was stabbed in the back before. Paul Pierce style. He thinks he was stabbed in the back again. The Seattle Seahawks have just announced the signing of running back Orange Julius Jones. The second running back Seattle has signed in the last week (TJ Duckett). Shaun Alexander is a running back with talent. Loads of talent. Bucket loads of talent. Truck loads of talent. Talent that has been decimated by injuries. It looks like his days in Seattle are numbered.
6. She said it’s really not my habit to intrude. Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued. But I’ll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude. There must be fifty ways to leave your lover. Fifty baby, fifty! The Celtics beat the 76ers to become the first team to 50 wins this season. Woooo doggy! It has been 22 seasons since Boston was the first team to 50 wins all by themselves back in 1986. You know what happened then. They won a championship then. They say the next big thing is here, that the revolution’s near. But to me it seems quite clear that it’s all just a little bit of history repeating.
7. Everybody’s yipping about Johann’s start yesterday. Everybody’s yapping about how great he was. What about my boy? Huh? What about Jon Lester? Here are the lines.
Johann: 4IP 2H 0R 0ER 0BB 4K
Lester: 4IP 2H 0R 0ER 1BB 5K
I’m just saying…
8. Just so you know. Not for nothing. Not that it means anything. Jeremy Shockey’s house just hit the market. Hmmmmm. So if have 2 Mil lying around, love NYC views, then call your local real estate agent.
9. Don’t look now, here come the New York Rangers. It took a while but the Rangers are hot. Red hot. My gal is red hot. Your girl ain’t doodely squat. The Rangers have now earned at least one point in each of their last 10 road games. That matches the second-longest streak of its kind in team history and the longest since 1972-73. Since Jean Ratelle. Since Brad Park. Since Rod Gilbert. These new look Rangers are suddenly on a roll. Suddenly Susan. Suddenly on a roll and challenging for top spot in the Prince of Whales Conference.

And now for the good news New York Governor Eliot Spitzer say that the check given to this 'lady of the night' wouldn't have bounced. I'd say at the alleged $4,000 an hour for services rendered. It'd better not have bounced or her Madame would've been livid. Don't these politicians remember that 'cash rules everythin' y'all.....dollar , dollar bills y'all' .
See my post titled Can Tracy Come Out To Play ? We'll Let Him Play With Our Ball Too !
Let me know what you think as to the merits of the piece ? I'll look forward to reading your comments.
1. LeBron, still young and already working his way up all-time lists. He's really incredible to watch sometimes.
2. Remember when people were asking: Who's better Wade or LeBron? Pretty clear cut now-a-days.
3. I was reading that Lester will most likely pitch the season opener, by default.
5. He smiles too much. It's su####ious.
6. It's just a matter of time until the Celts are the #1 seed.
7. Prediction: Lester has a break-out season. No cancer and everyone's focus is on other players. He'll sneak under the radar and do great this season.
8. Shockey blows. Is he getting traded?
9. As long as the Bruins get into the playoffs, I don't care what seed they are.
10. Indeed!
I think Julius Jones sucks, but Alexander was probably the most overrpaid player in the NFL. I hate to see him go, as a player with great personality, but since he was resigned, he's been a magnet for injury.
King James beat up on the Blazers again. I saw him play in Portland and single handedly beat the Blazers. Best player in the league!
1. of cource you have the bill russel stat

10. ill be damned, correct with 2 thumbs up and a twist
Keep singing it brutha! The Celtics and the Lakers in the Finals...Celts in 6. Whoo Hoo..it's our time Josh...wev'e been more than patient. Destiny baby.
Second round of the NBA Playoffs, Cavs over Celts in 6. It will happen. LBJ is 23 and has had more success than all of the big 3 combined and that is not going to change in the playoffs. The only question after it happens: Will Doc Rivers survive?

I don't know that it bounced off her butt. But he'll definately be bounced out of office should he not resign immediately.
I was reading today's edition of USA Today the sport's section in particular . And there they're did a feature piece on Mike Cameron, Jay Gibbons and Jose Guillen. Each have been implicated with the use of illecit substances within the game. And each in their own way on appearance are trying to justify their actions for what they did. It seems that the dumb do get dumber afterall ?

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!
