Sasha will dress today.  His ankle's still bugging, but he's willing to grit his teeth and give it a run.

Noted soccer enthusiast Kobe had an autographed Ronaldhino jersey laying on the top of his chair.  The message was in Italian, but I deciphered the "To my idol, Kobe" part all by myself.  Just call me Andrew "Berlitz" Kamenetzky.

San Diego native Luke Walton was naturally pleased by the Chargers big win this afternoon over the Titans, but he quickly endured some ribbing from Kwame Brown, who deems SD's chances next week against the Colts rather slim.  When Walton noted the "rule" about not being able to talk smack unless your team is actually in the playoffs, Kwame countered by noting that he doesn't actually have a team, thus automatically affording him the ability to mock any squad he damn well pleases.  "You always reserve the right to hate," laughed 54.  I asked if this attitude was the result of growing up in Georgia with the Falcons.  Actually, it was more about living in a "Florida Adjacent" part of the state, which made him more of a Florida Gators football fan than a loyalist for any NFL team.  He just watches the pro game for fun, not rooting interest.
