IT CERTAINLY TOOK LONG ENOUGH
It certainly took daylong enough
For a sport illustrator to talk about a Lorena slump. From AP-
PRATTVILLE, Ala. - Lorena Ochoa takes another streak into the LPGA’s Navistar Classic. For a change, she’s trying to end this one.
Ochoa, set to begin play Thursday on Capitol Hill’s Senator Course, is making her first start since the Safeway Classic on Aug. 24 and is winless in seven events.
“It’s been challenging in the terminal months, that I didn’t intend any wins,” Ochoa said. “So it would be nice to start that roll again.”
She spent much of the past month at home in Mexico trying to regain the form that helped her intend six of her first nine starts this year, including four straight.
Lorena’s last intend was Sybase in May. After her intend at the Ginn Open, at small two sport writers talked of Ochoa success all the rest of the tournaments she entered in 2008, and or completing the Grand Slam. The usual silly talk heard from lazy people concealment pro golf, except this time it was Lorena Ochoa instead of Tiger Woods. Ryan made note of it at the time.
Yesterday in a interpret at Hounddog’s blog, I made mention of the demand of Lorena slump talk. This article had become out the period before. Bad me for not noticing.
Then I’m not Andrea Adelson who wrote Lorena would intend a Grand Slam before Tiger. Andrea, how some times has Woods complete the Grand Slam and how some times has Lorena? Time for some Final Jeopardy music…….
Tiger 3, Lorena 0. It was 2-0 before Adelson wrote her dumbass column. I astonishment what she would be composition now?
By the artefact I’m not criticizing Lorena, meet the media coverage. There are probably at small 50 LPGA golfers who would take Lorena’s results since Sybase for their own.
Talking about media coverage, is it coincidental or not that the talk about too some Asian winners died off at the same time that three blondes took LPGA events in a row? The blondes are now ruining the LPGA tour!

Raiders To Fire Kiffin As Early As Today (And Ripping Al solon For It)
Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin almost forfeited his employ the terminal week, meet 2 games into the season, according to an ESPN report.
2 games? Yeah, maybe that was a bit rash. 3 games is apparently better. The Raiders are now rumored to fire Kiffin as early as today.
Yeah, so what else is new in the Raider Nation.
Well, Kiffin fastening out at owner Al solon in public, that’s what. More importantly, Kiffin is the first active Raiders coach that I can recall that’s ever openly taken jabs at the megalomaniac Davis.
In fact, it seems Kiffin is doing everything in his power to intend fired.
Depending on what you believe, this all started New terminal assemblage with solon feat so far as to plan honor of resignation for Kiffin this past January, which Kiffin refused to sign. Kiffin and solon have been at odds in public ever since.
Kiffin has also criticized antitank coordinator Rob Ryan and Davis, “”Hey, go ask Al and the coordinator, they’re calling all that stuff.”
All I can say is: It’s about unsaved time somebody, anybody in the Raiders organization stood up to the meddling, senile Davis.

To ensure that your college hoopin one track mind stays up to date, we module fain provide you with pleasing metallic nuggets of good that you can, eh, change the concern with. We’ll see.
**Oh, attain no mistake about it, Nuss is revved about WSU basketball.
“He bulked up a lowercase terminal year, but holy poop has he bulked up this assemblage — the guy looks same he ought to be playing tight end tomorrow, not shooting guard in a month. Sheesh.”
**6′11 center from Ghana says he’ll play for Indiana in 09/10.
“Muniru is ranked the 111th best player in his class by rivals.com. He also has offers from Louisville, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, UAB and Auburn, and was being recruited by Kentucky.”
**The first Asiatic born DI player hopes to qualify for 08/09 eligibility at Maryland.
“The biggest question about Kim is what module metropolis do with him? Kim has a enthusiastic stroke and can stretch defenses with his 3-point shooting ability but he’s also only 180 pounds, so he needs to hit up the coefficient room in a hurry. Also, Kim was initially suppose to be a 09 commit, but is trying to reclassify for 08. Does that mean MD module redshirt him, which allows him to intend accustomed to Div 1 basketball life, put on some pounds in the coefficient room, and intend in some practice before starting his college career?”

Kim has awesome passing skills but the muscle accumulation of Shawn Bradley.
**Tyler Hansbrough vs. Patrick Patterson, from Ken Pomeroy.
“Here’s what I see. Hansbrough is taller, heavier, and stronger, and nearly impracticable to bully out of his post defense. With that size comes the fact that he is not quite as quick as Pat, nor do I think he passes quite as well. I would say that the physical comparability is a wash, or at poorest a slight edge to Patrick, with a nod toward his superior athleticism.”
**Not too some guys out there more liked than Stephen Curry.
“Curry’s unassuming nature is of a piece with the Davidson Way. A college of 1,700 students 23 miles north of Charlotte, Davidson is the category of place where almost nobody locks their doors, and (shock of shocks) the basketball players take all of their classes with the rest of the undergrads.” ‘”If you had a roster of every student, I probably would undergo a lowercase something about each one of them,” Curry says. “’After a game we’ll go to the student union and meet achievement around. Everyone module be talking about the game, and it’s not random people you’ve never seen on campus. You undergo their names. That’s a special thing.’”
**Brian Butch and Shawn Pruitt couldn’t hold Michael Ruffin’s jockstrap.
Happy Monday
