Such a sad story:

Mike Tyson's Daughter Dies After Treadmill Accident‎

The 4-year-old daughter of boxing champion Mike Tyson has died after her neck apparently got caught in a cord dangling from a treadmill at their home. Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident, but immediately returned home to Phoenix when his young daughter was hospitalized.

Exodus' 7-year-old brother found her and told their mother, who was in another room. She took Exodus off the cord, called 911 and tried to revive her.

With everything that has happened to Mr. Tyson in his life..........this may be the toughest ever to deal with. The loss of a child..........so young.

We send our condolences to the entire Tyson family......

What ..........a tragedy.



We sure didn't see this one coming.......but we should have.....

The Orlando Magic beat the Cleveland Cavaliers last night, 116-114, in overtime to take that proverbial "commanding" 3-1 lead in the best of 7 NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

How did we get here? Cleveland boasted the best record in league..........66-16. Then these Cav's destroyed Detroit and Atlanta........in 4-0.......and 4-0. They have the reigning MVP in LeBron James.......They play defense.......They play with high energy.

So...........how can the Magic .......be so close to winning this series?

Let's take ........a closer look.....at both teams. Cleveland has one bona fide superstar, Mr. James. (Following Game 4, James, averaging 42.3 points, 7.3 rebound and 7.3 assists)

Orlando? They have the games' best center (offensively and defensively) in Dwight Howard. They also have a budding superstar in Rashard Lewis( a 6' 10" swing man), a wily veteran in Hedo Turkoglu ( a 6' 10" European) who can play guard or forward, and ..........a veteran point guard in Rafer Alston........who is simply out playing all-star wanna be , Mo Williams.........and support.......off the bench.

The Magic is much more balanced.......and have more talent. It was there.....always there....We just listened a bit too much to those "sports talking geeks" who already had the finals of the NBA played out....with Kobe versus LeBron.

It could still happen..........but we don't think so.


Other "stuff".......we're keeping an eye..........and an ear on.......

GM says bondholder offer fails; bankruptcy likely
............So what happened to all that bail-out money? I told you so.....We should have let them fail back in December of '08.......This was so.......inevitable.

Obama picks Sotomayor for Supreme Court

Gotta love it....

Have a great "Hump Day"!
