From the playground to politics…..Sarah Palin on her foreign policy credentials…..enough said. LOL

The hits keep coming from Nike….this is by far one of the freshest commercials ever. One of the things that continues to amaze me, especially with their TV spots, is the ability to capture the energy of the moment. Where do you think this one lands in the long line of hits from the Swoosh?

Tune in to HBO Real Sports tonight at 10pm EST to watch our future President (god willing) discuss his love for the game. It should be pretty interesting. Thanks to my man Stan for the heads up.

My peoples at Nike past this along to me and I figured you guys would love it. If you are a young, hungry, aspiring footwear designer this is the perfect opportunity to put yourself on the map. Info and contest details are below. Good luck!

LS and the Lincoln squad took their 3rd PSAL chip in a row yesterday. The 2008 Finals were not what they usually are, specifically in the attendance category. The total numbers were tallied and there were 2,000 fans, and 5,000 police officers. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen. I wish I know what that cost the city. As for the game, the Railsplitters dominated from the tip-off. At one point they lead by 40. Fans were taunting Boys & Girls saying “Lance is beating y’all by himself. Lance 26, Boys & Girls 24.” The scary thing is that was about right. Lincoln played exceptionally well as a team. I was most impressed with their defense. The Kangaroos rarely got past perimeter defenders and when they did help D was there to take the charge.

Lance walked away with another MVP trophy and now has the opportunity to win 4 city titles in 4 years. Congratulations to the entire Lincoln program.

Read more about the game at the Daily News, Zags Blog, and the NY Post.

The PSAL finals are this Sunday at the Garden. The stage is set for an amazing game. Lincoln and Boys & Girls split this season, and B&G are the only ones standing in the way of the Railsplitters 3rd straight City Title. If they win, junior Lance Stephenson is one step closer to four chips in 4 years. Kinda crazy.
