Since I'm neither a Kobe fan nor a Lakers fan, I wanted to read all about how the Lakers were embarrassed. I clicked on the link and this is what I was greeted with:
I read the first line ("L.A. Lakers 88, Grizzlies 86") and was confused about how the Lakers were embarrassed; after all, according to that score, they won, right? Then I kept reading and realized that "the lowly Grizzlies" actually had a "shocking 88-86 victory" over the Lakers. Yeah, they made a mistake. But it underscores another point: while no one would argue that the Grizzlies are anything but "lowly" with a 18-54 record, L.A. isn't exactly a powerhouse. So why all the love and adulation for the Lakers? They have one amazing player and that's about it. A 38-33 record is hardly the stuff of, say, Dallas, Phoenix, or Utah. I will never understand it.
Noticed at the Caps game last night: the Dunkin Donuts stand at the Phone Booth featured yellow-frosted donuts as the special of the day. Yellow, when the Penguins are in town? That's just wrong.

I missed the frosted yellow donuts at Dunkin Donuts? That's terrible. They would have been a great celebratory food for getting into the playoffs. :)
If it was in honor of the Pens, maybe it wasn't frosting?
They had yellow frosted donuts because most people would get upset at the idea of yellow frosted penguins! (Mmm, tastes like chicken!)
