Slow News Day

I've been swamped with personal stuff so far this week, hence the lack of the usual witty, insightful comments in this space. Be patient, all will be revealed.

Bill Gates is all like "To say a system is secure because no one is attacking it is very dangerous," trying to call out Apple and Linux as unsecure platforms. Meanwhile, the MyDoom virus is fucking shit up on Windoze systems worldwide. Gates went on to stick his foot in his mouth even further by dropping gems like "A high-volume system like (Windows) that has been thoroughly tested will be by far the most secure," as well as "Everybody who had their software completely up-to-date was immune to those (virus) problems. But only 20 percent of our customers were, so obviously, we weren't doing enough." OK...whatever you say bro.

I can't believe I beat Peabs to this story (all the time and drugs on the campaign trail must be taking their toll), but the mascot for the Chicago Bulls was arrested for selling weed. Police found 6 ounces of pot with a street value of more than $1,000 and a scale in the trunk of his car late Monday night. Chester Brewer, 31, was charged with delivery of marijuana and appeared for a bond hearing Tuesday afternoon.

In other news, According to sources with the Chicago Bulls, a buyout of Jay Williams contract will be finalized in the next few days.

In case you were wondering, Ricky Davis has played 22 games wearing green and white. I feel at home, real comfortable," he said. "I'm trying to do what I can to win ballgames. It's been pretty good so far." Personally, I'm still trying to put the beat down the C's got at the hands of the Nets on Sunday out of my mind. We play the Pistons tomorrow. Cowboy up!

Uconn skipper Jim Calhoun apologized for his diarrhea of the mouth following his teams unexpected loss to lowly Providence (note:the Friars are 14-3, I should look at the standings before I write things like this). When asked about Ryan Gomes, the Providence star that hails from nearby Waterbury, CT, Calhoun went off the deep end with a profanity laced tirade."I took Emeka Okafor and Caron Butler. They're not bad! I can't get everyone!"
Can you imagine Coach K ever doing something like this?
