"It seems as if Baron was perhaps dared to do this. He clearly sees Sager's outfit well before he cracks that big smile. He shakes his head as if he HAS to say it."

Not him, fool... his testimony. A judge ruled that his grand-jury testimony be unsealed, and the judge also criticized the indictments themselves as being sloppy, which of course means Barry's legal team is fighting hard to have the entire case dismissed. Regardless, the general public will soon know for sure what Barry said under oath.

The 43-year-old slugger has 762 home runs and exactly zero suitors right now. Well, maybe the (Devil) Rays, but c'mon, Tampa Bay? Does that even count?

Before each game, Warriors guard Monta Ellis dips both hands in hot wax because he says it loosens up his fingers. At the rate he's been scoring lately, he deserves the benefit of the doubt for the quirkiness. The video includes a shot of post-dipped Monta.

Barry's agent says that the Home Run King may go to the Far East to play ball this year. "He's not retiring. He intends to play somewhere. If a door doesn't open for Barry in the major leagues, as unbelievable as that possibility sounds, then Japan certainly is an option."

Baron Davis has a thing for fadeaway jumpers. Last night with the game tied and 0.3 seconds on the clock, his trademark shot swished through the net to give the Warriors a two-point victory over the slumping Celts.

Warriors guard Stephen Jackson is money from deep but only OK on the mic. The video is from a few days ago and it features Stack Jack freestyle rapping with Baron at his side. In Jackson's defense, it's a lot harder to rap with no beat to back you up. The lyrics are relatively tame but still not entirely SFW.

Barack Obama is superstitious about playing hoops. How cool is that? It would be even cooler if Nike got him a shoe deal. Goodbye, Air Jordans; hello, Air Obamas.

Fear the Beard catches up with Sean Penn and son at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

"Look at that stare. Usually you would need to go to a trailer park in Sparks Nevada to catch a father-son stare like that. And that's one of the reasons I love Sean Penn, and his appearance at the Oracle last night sporting a beard makes me love him more. Why would you want to go to the Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) Awards where there's, like, a ninety five percent chance that you'll be seated next to a douchebag, when you can spend some QT with your seed and watch the Dubs?"

Marcus Camby, Dwight Howard, Chris Kaman and Tyson Chandler all have multiple games this year with 20-plus boards. But none of them (no one in the NBA, actually) can match the 26 rebounds that Golden State's Andris Biedrins pulled down on Sunday during a 106-104 victory over the Knicks. AB's career-high before the Knicks game was 18 rebounds, which he'd accomplished four times previously.

The Warriors need help on the boards, which is why there's a chance old-man Chris Webber may return to Northern California. He played for many years in Sacramento, and even though the clock on his career is ticking, he could help spell some of the vets in the Yay Area. If it doesn't work out, no love lost. Webber will probably make league-minimum and not a cent more. That's a small price to pay for more help on the glass, because they're not going to get it from rail-thin rookie, Brandan Wright, and certainly not from Italian rookie Marco Belinelli, whose biggest strength appears to be clanking three-pointers and sitting on the bench.

Random fact: Biedrins is from Latvia, which is a country with 26 districts. If you don't believe me, check Wikipedia. 26 boards by a man from a country with 26 districts. Coincidence? LOL, ya digg!!?

Al Davis is pissed that Lane Kiffin's name had been floated in connection with open college gigs late last year, so after only one season on the job, Davis wants Kiffin out of the East Bay. Reporters asked Kiffin, who coached yesterday's Senior Bowl, if next year he would be the head coach in Oakland.

Kiffin's response was to mostly dodge the question. "I hope so," he said. It wasn't very convincing, even less so considering Kiffin was the only NFL coach at the game to not wear his own team's colors. Chances are the 32-year-old son of Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin has coached his last game in Oakland.

"NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said he believed the Raiders and Kiffin were negotiating a settlement of his contract, the end result being Oakland would be the first team since the Minnesota Vikings in 1984 (Les Steckel) and 1985 (Bud Grant) to have consecutive coaches who lasted a single season."

Yay Area (CA) -- Jason Kidd came home but B. Dizzle got the triple-dizzle (25, 12, 10). Monta dropped a career-high 39 and the Dubs used a 22-0 run in the fourth to cap the Nets. Don Nelson pulled a hack-a-Shaq on Josh Boone, who during that time missed six of 12 from the stripe. The Nets have lost seven straight. The Warriors (26-18) take on Zeke and the Knicks on Monday night. Prediction: Isiah falls short.

Remember that kid who was killed imitating a scene in the football movie, "The Program"? That and 9 other ridiculous examples of life imitating art. My favorite? Amateur fight club.

"3rd rule of amateur fight club? Jerry brings the nachos."

Monta Ellis is a restricted free agent at the end of the year, so the Warriors are going to have to throw him a lot of $$$ to keep him in town.

Baron dropped 34 points, 14 assists, grabbed 6 boards and had ZERO turnovers. He led all scorers. Stephen Jackson was on fire in OT after a game in which he missed seven of his first 10 shots. He nailed back to back threes with ice in his veins, racking up 12 points in extra time and 29 overall. . He also was perfect from the charity stripe (9-9).

Even though Tony Parker hit the three to send the game into extra time, perhaps he should have paid more attention to his game and less attention to the beautiful Jessica Alba and her fiance Cash Warren. LOL.

Golden State 130, San Antonio 121

Dude is ill. He deserves to be in the All-Star game.
