Good Morning!<\/p>\n
T-Minus-15 until Manny Ramirez returns to Dodgers lineup<\/p>\n
Orlando\u2019s Hedo Turkoglu opts out of 7-million contract to become a free agent…is someone going to pay him more than that?<\/p>\n
Does Sports Illustrated\u2019s \u201cChosen One\u201d Bryce Harper\u2019s decision to opt out of his final two years of high school nauseate you?<\/p>\n
Couple the insanity of Harper\u2019s parents with the riot after the Lakers win and you understand why Karl Marx said \u201cSports is the opiate of the masses…\u201d<\/p>\n
Obligatory John Scanlan question of the day: Scanmeister tell us what you think about Harper?<\/p>\n
Bill Laimbeer resigned his coaching position in the WNBA to pursue a career in the NBA…Good thing is Laimbeer should win any argument with a player when push comes to shove…<\/p>\n
The ESPN guys list their top nine highlights of the season so far…and there wasn\u2019t one about the Dodgers who have the best record in baseball…<\/p>\n
Last time I saw Milwaukee and Cleveland go at it like they did last night the Bucks Bob Dandridge feasted on the Cavaliers Bingo Smith…<\/p>\n
The Oakland Raiders signing of Greg Ellis was a good deal…The retiring of Al Davis would be even better…<\/p>\n
The guy to keep an eye on this year in San Dimas could be linebacker Ryan Kohler…but\u00a0 Valle Vista defenses should remember Northview\u2019s Kamaron Germany is coming back as well…<\/p>\n

With Brandon Marshall demanding a trade anyone want to start taking overs and unders\u00a0 on how long Josh McDaniels lasts as head coach of the Denver Broncos?<\/p>\n
Got this email from a local coach about the budget crisis:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u201cIt’s really sad, because it’s difficult to even raise money any more for the programs, because there are so many restrictions. I am already hearing that next year it’s going to be much worse. The sad, but true fact is that for many of our local athletes, the opportunity to be involved on a team and build those relationships and experiences is in my opinion often just as important in their life as the academic requirements they receive. It will be very saddening and a great loss if that opportunity becomes much more limited.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Boston Celtics last four titles have been won in 2008, 1986, 1984, and 1981…Did you know the Lakers have won the title the following season each time?<\/p>\n Did you know the Dodgers last won a title in 1988, the same year the Lakers beat the Detroit Pistons in seven…?<\/p>\n Stay thirsty my friends…<\/p>\n 44<\/p>\n Fanview Lite appears Monday through Saturday here at www.midvalleysports.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
