ESPN lies after Kobe Bryant loses to LA Clippers on January 6, 2010, LA Clippers vs. LA Lakers
Jan 7th
Phil Jackson after the loss to the Clippers: “It was too much individual play”
Bynum has 16 shots and took 7th Kobe and Bynum were the only 12 shots or more, the Lakers, Kobe was held below 30 and missing 20 of his shots. Who could have talked Phil? You tell me.
It’s good that the referees gave Kobe 15 free throws or her score would have to say how terrible it from the soil even more.
In 17 of 35 games this year, Kobe has 13 missed shots or more! MVP my ass.
Who should be even more shots? Who does LeBron 50.5% of his shots from the floor and 35.7% of his 3 pointers, or Kobe, which makes 47.7% of his shots from the floor and 32.1% of his 3 pointers?
Who should be even more shots?? LeBron, who has a worse supporting cast, or Kobe, who has an All-Star team for the support of the votes?
In 35 games Kobe has taken 79 more shots than LeBron, and is barely outscoring him by 1 point per game.
6. January Kobe shot 10-30 vs. the Clippers, cost his team the game.
Kobe blew the GAME!
30. Kobe shot 6-19 vs. Dallas in October, cost his team the game.
13. Kobe vs. Denver, November 7-17 shooting, cost his team the game.
15. Kobe shoots vs. Houston November 5-20, cost his team the game.
12. Kobe shoots vs. Utah December 7-24, cost his team the game.
25. December Kobe shoots 11-32 (11-33 according to yahoo) vs. Celtics, cost his team the game.
Kobe has single-handedly was the main reason why the Lakers lost in 6 of their 7 losses. He is so overrated it’s not even funny. I am so sick and tired of the NBA media kissing this guy’s ass.
As someone who can so much of inconvenience to the HIS ALL STAR TEAM valuable player in a team sport, THE KOBE only cares about himself?
Good example of how good the Lakers were without Kobe, Kobe takes 12 shots vs. Dallas on 3January and they beat the Mavs with 35 points.
LeBron is a better 3-point shooter than Kobe, LeBron makes up nearly 36% of his 3’s, Kobe makes only 32%. LeBron has made 19 more than Kobe, Japan 3 hands so far this year.
LeBron is an efficient scorer making 50.5% of his shot attempts, while Kobe makes up only 47% of his shot attempts. LeBron could easily outscore Kobe, if he was more selfish. LeBron is Kobe to outscore the end of the season.
LeBron is a better guide to make a worse support. He opened the floor for his teammates and is a much more willing passer. LeBron has supported over the years 287 and Kobe has only 163rdLeBron is averaging 8 assists per game.
LeBron is a better defender, better shot-blocker and a better rebounder. Not to mention far superior athletes.
Lake Champlain Bridge demolition (aka Crown Pointe) VIDEO
Dec 29th
Also known as the Crown Pointe Bridge, the Lake Champlain Bridge was a vehicular bridge that crossed Lake Champlain between Crown Point, New York, and Chimney Point, Vermont. It was one of only two bridges that connected New York to Vermont by crossing Lake Champlain; all other transport across the lake between the two states are by ferry. It was opened to traffic in 1929 as a toll bridge; the tolls were removed in 1987. The bridge was closed due to safety concerns in October 2009.
On November 9, 2009, officials in Vermont and New York announced that the bridge was beyond repair and would have to be demolished. The 80-year-old bridge was closed October 16 when engineers deemed it wasn’t safe because of severe erosion to its concrete piers.
A controlled explosion was recommended to take down the bridge. Removal of the existing bridge was accomplished by explosive demolition, and was originally scheduled for December 23, 2009. It was later moved to December 28 as a result of the formation of ice on Lake Champlain and cold weather in the area. Both factors led to delays in installing the necessary explosives for demolition.

After their disastrous loss to Tottenham Hotspur almost two weeks ago, Manchester City has recovered well, winning its next two assignments against Sunderland and Stoke City. It now looks forward to continuing this streak with its visit to Wolverhampton as the club gears for a top four finish this season.
Wolverhampton, on the other hand, does not have the same luck as their opponents. The club is wallowing in relegation country, just a few points above the current bottom three of
Hull City, Bolton and Portsmouth. Wolves, therefore, look forward to stopping their skid and boost its chances of Premier League survival this season.
Manchester City’s new manager, Roberto Mancini, got off to a winning start on Boxing Day when his side defeated Stoke City 2-0. As he prepares for his first away game, Man City remains within striking distance of the top four.

Dec 29th
The Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football as NFL Week 16’s last featured game – two teams trying to put off the field distractions behind them. Will Brett Favre and coach Brad Childress put their issues behind them and concentrate on the game at hand? Favre and the Vikings try to bounce back from their second loss in three games and possibly clinch a postseason bye Monday night when they visit the struggling Bears.
But the Favre – Childress issue is still the main concern of the team no matter how they try
to deny it. A heated discussion occurred after the coach attempted to pull the veteran quarterback in the third quarter even as Minnesota held a one-point lead. Childress said he was just trying to protect Favre from a Panthers pass rush that sacked him four times.
Will the Vikings really get over this issue and win tonight’s game against the Bears? Let’s wait and find out.

Dec 28th
The Dallas Cowboys are heavily favored to win this game against the Washington Redskins, a team that is currently in much disarray. They can’t afford to look past the Redskins, as they will be finishing the regular season at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Dallas Cowboys picked up their biggest win of the season last weekend. They were not given much of a chance heading into the game at the Superdome against undefeated New Orleans Saints, but the Cowboys controlled the game from the start and won 24-17. Now they must do the same
thing here for another win. Dallas needs to strike early and then keep its foot on the gas pedal as it hopes to finish out the season with a strong run toward the playoffs. They can clinch a playoff berth with a win and a New York Giants loss to Carolina.

Dec 28th
Another two teams desperate for a win and three points that will pull them away from the relegation candidate clubs this season. Both have been struggling and a win would be the most welcome gift this holiday season. Everton, the fifth placer from last season, is a surprise in the table this season. A spate of injuries has really affected the team. Help is on the way though. A loan in the person of Landon Donovan is due to arrive next month, and hopefully inject some hope to the club. Players coming back from injuries will add some needed boost next month as well. For now, Everton will just have to focus and rely on some
luck to overcome Burnley.
Newly-promoted Burnley is lying in thirteenth place in the English premier League table so far. Though that is far from the relegation zone, they are just three points clear of the drop zone.

2009 day-after-Christmas sales: big sales/deals after Christmas!
Dec 25th
By this time, the merry making is in full swing and Christmas gifts have been given and unwrapped. Many are tired from all the partying, booze and, of course, the last minute shopping. It’s the same thing every year. But do you think the Christmas shopping season is over? Definitely not! For many, it has only just begun with more discounts and bargains on the horizon with the traditional day after-Christmas sales. In fact, some people may have been waiting for after-Christmas sales for the bulk of their shopping. With the financial crisis plunging us deeper into economic trouble, this is quite understandable, and practical. Who
says you have to can only give gifts before Christmas? The Christmas season runs through New Year and gift-giving is always welcome anytime during the season.
Experts are predicting even bigger discounts for after-Christmas sales this year. Christmas shopping figures before December 25 all over the world have been rather tame, even disappointing, compared to previous years – a consequence of tight budgets and a world in recession. The economy has been in a recession since December 2007, and tighter credit and more layoffs continue to squeeze consumer budgets. Not even big discounts and bargains could sway some shoppers during pre-Christmas sales. As a result, prices are expected to drop further to sway shoppers to spend.
In the United States, this year’s day-after-Christmas sales is expected to rival those of Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that kicks off the shopping season and can put retailers into money-making territory for the year. For the first time, J.C. Penney is opening at 5:30 AM on December 26 and will take orders for wake-up calls on jcp.com. Various other offers from retailers have been advertised online in the hope of enticing shoppers to shop more.
2009 Day-after-Christmas sales offers/day-after-Christmas deals
Aside from JC Penney’s aggressive campaign, here are other offers this season:
Bath & Body Works wants you to hold back some cash because its semi-annual sale, with 75 percent off, starts Monday.
Ikea is promoting its post-Christmas discounts of 20 percent to 60 percent off.
Sears will offer up to 75% off on electronics and 50% off on Craftsman tool storage chests. Kmart will add 40% off to clearance items, already marked down 30%.
Toys R Us circulars in newspapers Thursday will bill the day after Christmas as the “biggest” after-holiday sale with deals including an $81.99 race car set for $19.99 and table games, originally $239.99, for $131.99.
More discounts will surely be announced soon. Be on the lookout for bigger bargains as retailers try to outdo each other to get shoppers’ attentions. This year’s after-Christmas sales may end up as the biggest shopping day of the year.
A word or caution: Though discounts and big bargains will certainly be great for everyone, buy only what you need. No matter how cheap an item may be, it will still turn out to be an expensive buy if you don’t nee it and end up not using it at all.
