	Q#1. Cal Head coach Joanne Boyle has the Cal Women's team running like an engine. Cal 17-2 (8-0) are hitting all their shots and the offense is in sink. Looks like Cal can make it into March with no problem what do you like about the Golden Bears who are first in the Women's Pac-10? A#1. Cal Women's Basketball is doing what the men aren't; they are playing like a team. Alexis Grey-Lawson has come back strong from her ACL injury and she challenging everyone in the Pac-10. They have a coach who understands how to get the best out of her talent. I don't think they will win the Pac-10 title because Stanford always turns up their game around tournament time, but they will have their ticket stamped to the dance. I just hope that they get a good draw for the regionals. They could make it to the Elite 8. Q#2. On the other hand at Cal the Men's team head coach Ben Braun has been on the discussion plate about losing his job. The Bears have lost four of their last five games and are in second to last in the Pac Ten at 11-6 (2-4) is it a little pre mature to call for coach Braun's firing at this stage in the season? A#2. BEN BRAUN WILL BE FIRED! Too many less than mediocre season. The real question is, will he make it to the end of the season? Q#3. Stanford Men 15-3 (4-2) play Cal on Saturday at Haas Pavilion. From the looks of things the Cardinal who has won four of their last five might play home wrecker in this one on Saturday night. Any predictions? A#3. Cal is no match for the Stanford Cardinal. Final Thoughts: 1. Tiger Woods says that he cannot champion all the causes in the world, and that he battles racism through his foundation. Tiger, no one has asked you to be a leader in a Black cause. We get it, you're Cablinasin. But, as a man of color we were asking you to recognize that just because no one questions you on the golf courses of America, there are plenty of us people of color who are still being scrutinized. I believe that you are doing great things with your foundation. I just hope you are telling them how to properly express themselves when someone questions why they are on the links. I sure a lot of the kids you teach to play golf are from the inner city United States, Not Cablinasin. Oh Yeah! Congratulations to Tiger for moving beside Arnold Palmer at 4th place for career PGA wins. 2. Al Davis asked Lane Kiffin to resign his position as head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Can an organization do anymore to make their team a complete laughing stock in the league? Who want to coach the Raiders? Sound like a game show to me. I am not saying that Kiffin is the right guy for the job, but you should have thought about that before you hired him. Maybe some of the leadership changes need to be made in the front office and not on the field. 3. It is Super Bowl time and the whole country has an unnatural affection for the New England Patriots. I know everyone wants to see history in the making, and so do I that am why I am predicting that the New York Giants will make history buy stopping the Patriots. Just remember this 1) The Giants have already proven that they can play the Pats and be competitive; 2) The media have begun to act like lemmings. No one will go against the Pats, and I love the underdog; 3) and finally Eli Manning only has to manage the game for the Giants much like Trent Dilfer did with the Ravens. Tom Brady must win the game for the Patriots. I can't wait to see if I am a genius or just another hater.
