TOPIC 1: WHAT WILL WE BE SAYING ABOUT THIS NBA DRAFT 10 YEARS FROM NOW?
We’ll remember the first time we saw the next Jason Kidd. Or Jason Williams. (Gulp.)
“You’d think they would’ve won a championship after that draft … or at least a few more games.”
“Hard to believe John Paxson’s last draft before getting fired was 10 years ago.”

Phil will say, “I’m glad lame polyester suits will never fade away.”
“I can’t believe Tim Donaghy fixed that too!!”
TOPIC 2: WHAT’S THE UPSIDE OR DOWNSIDE TO PLAYING IN YOUR HOMETOWN?
You get hit up for money more than The Wiener’s Circle ATM.
The upside is you can go home and cry in your own bed (this means you, Sox).
Upside: You get to be surrounded by friends and family. Downside: You live in Detroit.
The number of homers. But for the Cubs, that’s an upside.
You already have a relationship with the local groupies.
TOPIC 3: WHAT WILL BE THE WHITE SOX’S SECRET WEAPON IN THE CITY SERIES REMATCH?
South Siders will stock the Cubs’ locker room with yellow snow cones.
They’ll invite the fans to play for them in hopes that they’re better.
This time, they’ve decided not to care if they get swept.
Runs. The Cubs will give them the runs.
It isn’t too early to call up Gordon Beckham is it?
TOPIC 4: IS THERE EVER A GOOD REASON FOR A PLAYER TO PHYSICALLY ATTACK A GENERAL MANAGER?
Ask the 28-50 Seattle Mariners.
Only if he (or she) makes fun of your outfit.
Only if the GM reveals on Springer he’s been sleeping with the player’s wife.
If that player is Geovany Soto and it’s the White Castle GM. That was no slider.
Isiah benched Stephon Marbury AND slept with the interns before Starbury could. You decide.
TOPIC 5: WHAT’S ONE WAY ATHLETES CAN ‘GO GREEN’?
Share a dressing room with ESPN’s John Kruk or Eagles coach Andy Reid. MY EYES!
Eat a rotten tomato at dinner. You’ll look plenty green then.
Two words: Taco Bell.
Ride with Cedric Benson.
