Well, here's some rather disheartening news for the Lakers faithful: "Lakers center Andrew Bynum was examined yesterday in New York by knee
specialist Dr. David Altchek and has not been cleared to progress to
full practices or contact drills, it was announced today.
“This should not be seen as a setback in any way,” said Altchek.
“Andrew will continue with his therapy program and workouts with the
Lakers’ training staff and will continue to be monitored until he can
return to playing status.”
There is no target date for Bynum’s return."
Nobody really knows how to interpret this news. Altchek says "this should not be seen as a setback in any way," but with the rumors of Andrew's possible return this weekend, that statement sounds a little off. People are freaking out in the comments section of the LA Times Lakers Blog's ####t. I guess only time will tell. I'll keep this updated as/if more news comes out.
[edit: 6:17pm] Uh, look what TheLakersNation.com is saying: There’s a rumor circulating Clublakers.com
that our very own Andrew Bynum might be out *gulp* another SIX WEEKS!
Plus, this L.A. Times article states that he isn’t even clear to play
this season nor be available for the start of the playoff. How can this
happen? What?
[edit: 7:32pm] Well, it turns out TheLakersNation is blowing a comment in a thread on ClubLakers WAY out of proportion. Thats teh internetz for you.
the kids not ready for prime time huh? too bad, you can expect the Lakernation to post heavily. you might want to get some cheese ready for all the wine we are about to get
I'll be honest, I have no idea how podcasts work. I know you can listen to podcasts on your ipod, but can you just get them straight onto your computer and listen from your computer?
more info on the podcast: i'm pretty much going to be winging it for show one. I've done it somewhat successfully in the past, the last time being last summer. I've finally found some good free hosting sites that didnt exist back when i was going at it in the past. I bought a snowball professional usb mic by Blue about a year ago, and i never really got to break it in. I kind of hate the word "podcast," but thats what people know it best by. I'm not going to emphasize the whole "put it on your ipod" aspect of it, but it will be an option. The way i'm going to do it is by posting an embed in a post; similar to the way we post youtube videos on here.
if anyone has questions/suggestions, fire away!

I'm a realistic observer of the vast world that surrounds the Los Angeles Lakers. You can thank Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell, Cedric Ceballos, and Vlade Divac for making that possible. The greatest person of all time is Francis Dayle "Chick" Hearn. There's no getting around that. Me? I'm eighteen years old and working my way to a journalism degree.
