Super-Noah


Another day, another... SUPER FRIEND.

This one is Noah, son of Ted and Heather. Noah is just a little guy, all of 4-weeks old. We met him this weekend. Evey was impressed, she thought he had good potential for the super team she is assembling. Although, he was similarly immobile like the rest of her team so far. Maybe Evey just likes to be the star, and if she's the only Friend who can walk, that makes her pretty important.

Anyway, congrats to Ted and Heather on the birth of their new baby boy!

On an unrelated note... what the hell are the Lakers doing? They're killing me. It's like they're the Eastern team and Boston is the Western team. Oh well, if Boston wins it, at least Paul gets a ring, and I'm fine with that.

Was it emasculating to watch Van Gundy have to disavow his comments regarding fouls on Yao Ming? In case you didn't see it, Stuart Scott read a "news story" about former NBA referee Tim Donaghy and how he was implicating other referees and the league in a larger scandal. Then commissioner David Stern gave his usual smug comment about these allegations being baseless. then they turned it over to Mike Breen (why is he the play-by-play for this series, anyway?) who "interviews" color man Jeff Van Gundy about his comments a few years ago about being told by an "NBA official" -- which, he clarifies, does NOT mean a ref -- that they were gonna start calling Yao for more fouls.

It was a little bit WWF for my taste. The league should have just ignored the whole thing and given us more stats or another personality profile. I'll look elsewhere for real "news" on this case -- it certainly won't be to the NBA.

I mean, did you see it when Dwyane Wade got all those foul calls in 2006? Sheesh.

I've noticed that all of these children are younger than Evey. Why is that? Did you start a trend? Was it a betting pool and your "team" managed to come in first? Just curious...
