Saudi Arabia, Get A Grip, If You're Going to Deport Guys That Are Too Handsome, What The Heck Are You Gonna Do With "Ugly People "?

 This has got to be a  first ever!  The Saudi's allegedly deported three guys for being " too handsome". Yes, you heard correctly ....too good -looking. Supposedly, this was done to protect  the Saudi Woman who  may  not be able to control themselves....Almost like the crazed Beatles fans in the  late 1960's and early 1970's. " Ladies, this was done for your own protection, don't worry".
    So will this start a Saudi trend? Good looking  is  out , ugly is in .  If you want to protect your immigration status, get ugly! Real uglllly.....  I  can picture  the next  Immigration hearing before a three-judge panel  of Eunuchs . Let's vote. "Is he too handsome? " Judge 1-yes .  Judge 2, he's handsome , but not handsome enough to be  deported. Judge 3 ," Let's go to the tiebreaker . Pull down your pants. Section 3, subdivision 2 of the Local Immigration Code says  Deportation  Deadlocks can only be  broken by  measuring  schlong size !  "
  Judge 3-"Oh,  I  see.  Well  I   have no choice ..You can  stay. You just qualified  under the 2-inch exception. But remember we'll be watching. And think ugly and small !"

Is That the Lone Ranger and Tonto? No, no, It's Melo and JR!

  The  way these two are playing is beyond crazy!  Two guys playing at the top of their games, who are among the best in creating and  executing their own shots. Did you see Smith's 35 foot jumper at the end of the first half? I'll tell you what. He believed he could make that shot...Unlimited range . Melo, another 34 points last night. Stellar  team  " D" in the second half.
  So how far can the "dynamic duo" take the Knicks in the post-season?  I think through the first two rounds. Miami? Well we have a ways to go before we're there!  All I  can say is  fun stuff.

I Said It Once, I'll Say It a Thousand Times, There Is Nothing Like the NBA Playoffs!

Ok, I  watched  the first 6 games yesterday and today! Knicks-Celts, excellent game. Garden rocking, with a capital R. Denver game comes down to last shot  by Andre Miller . Nets  dismantle the Bulls and the Clippers  too much for the  Grizzlies. And that was only yesterday .
  Just finished watching Pacers-Hawks and Spurs-Lakers. Two more tonight !  Just think, potentially  50 more first round games and 2 months of  nightly "hoop dreams". Does it possibly get any better?
   Enjoy it . And of course, I do miss Kobe!
      Lets go Knicks. Lets go Knicks!

Two Major Figures Pass; Both Provided Great Memories to Me!

Jonathan Winters , age 87, and  Pat Summerall (82)  both passed this week. Winters, one of the great improv comedians of all-time , and Summerall  a long-time NFL  broadcaster were both deeply ingrained in my youth ...and beyond.
   I remember Summerall, long before he teamed up with Madden, announcing  NFL  games on channel 2 with Tom Brookshier and Irv Cross as the sideline reporter , He was an institution . I probably watched every game  he broadcasted over about a 7-8 year period. Cowboys, Browns, Packers and Colts. Real NFL football!  He will be missed.
   And who could forget my main man, Jonathan Winters!  I   grew up listening to comedy albums, over and over. Winters, Don Rickles, David Klein, Bill Cosby, Flip Wilson, Buddy Hackett, George Carlin and more. Winters , was so hysterical he would make you cry. Did someone say Maude Frickett? Hefty  Trash Bags? I still have his "Wacky World of Jonathan Winters " album. Gonna try to dig it out and play it!  He was an inspiration to generations of young comedians.
  Pat, Jonathan  , God Bless. You will be missed, but not forgotten.

Boston Marathon Tragedy

   And to Boston, you will recover 100 %!

Dow Jones at 14,842....Next Stop 15,000 ?

What can you  say as the Dow continues to climb Mount Everest at a "record pace" ?  Nothing the "index  " does now surprises me. 11,000 was a big deal. Then 12,000! Then 13,000..Then the "Impossible Dream "...Yes, 14,000!  So two years ago, if you asked me if  15,000 was  reachable. I would have called  you a dreamer.
  But as Emmitt  Smith said in his Hall of Fame  induction speech ; "A dream is a dream, until it's written down on paper. Then it's a goal"!  In that case  , write it down. 15,000  is next!

Lakers Win, Jazz Lose ! Things Really Getting Interesting...

 Down to the last 4 games...Will the Lakers sneak in? Sneak, being the key word here. OKC did Kobe and Co. a favor last night, knocking off  Utah . Kobe was a beast last night. 30 points, 6 boards, 6 assists and 5 steals. Not bad for an old man! I love the guy.
    Hey, one important thing to keep in mind when watching the next  4 games...There are no easy games. "On any given night...."

  Stay tuned!
