OK, so forget everything I said about UCLA in the last post. They laid an absolute egg against Washington, shooting -8% from the field. They were manhandled by U-Dub's frontline of Spencer Hawes and Jon Brockman, who both recorded double doubles. They still desperately need a big man to compete with the best. UCLA can't expect to win it all with Lorenzo Mata, at 6-9, as the starting center. Kevin Love can't get here fast enough. So they're not #1, but I still think they're deserving of a #1 seed in the tournament, given that they win the PAC-10 tournament, which, at this point, is easier said than done.

Sidenote on the PAC-10 tournament: The cheapest tickets are $130. That is ridiculous. Who would pay triple digits to sit in the nosebleeds for a double-header, one of which you care absolutely nothing about? Damn the ticket-price-setter guy.

In soccer news, David Beckham might have pulled a Shaun Livingston and blown out his knee. The seriousness of the injury is not yet known, but this puts their reality show in grave danger. Btw, if you haven't seen the clip of Ali G interviewing the Beckhams, you need to watch it now. It's hilarious.

Ever since Vladimir Radmanovic hurt himself snowboarding and was fined half a mil by the Lakers, his teammates have given him a hard time about it, giving him the nickname "Half-pipe". I have a better nickname: "Big-clumsy-oaf-who-can't-rebound-anyway-busted-signing-asshole".

Apparently somebody forgot to tell Larry Bigbie he's not Albert Pujols. In his first couple spring training games, he went 5 for 6 with two home runs. He still will not make the team, however, as Matt Kemp will successfully catch a fly ball and throw it back to the infield, prompting Grady Little to piss his pants over the kid's "potential" and hand him a roster spot.

We meet Linderman tonight on Heroes. They showed the back of his head in the previews and so far, he looks just like Colonel Sanders. This is gonna be great.

I passed my urine test.
