Interesting & entertaining (at least for us non-Lakers fans) article,
thanks. A couple of observations from the peanut gallery:

1. If Jimmy & Jeannie are really competing for daddy's love, maybe they
should try dressing up like 16-year-old cheerleaders & show up at home with
a bottle & some weed. My money would be on Jeannie. : )

2. More seriously, if Jimmy is really giving Bynum the idea that the kid is
somehow superior to the rest of the team just because he's Jimmy's favorite,
he is setting your team up for some real problems down the road. I know
it's LA & soap opera-90210-type stuff is considered normal, but the last
thing any pro sports team needs is someone in management making the work
environment more dicey than it usually is already.

3. If PJ likes Farmar, Jerry the Lush should have the good sense to stay
drunk & hit on underage girls & leave his HC to make that decision. Of
course, we all know that good owners are few & far between & they seldom are
the ones who end up on Perez Hilton.com on a regular basis.

All this does need to be taken with a grain or two of salt as the source has
the word "hype" in it's name, but if even half of that stuff is true, it
could be a trying season ahead for LA fans.

Go Blazers !
