While waiting for the NFL Draft on Saturday, which is essentially watching NFL types on the phone for six hours...

What the hell was going on at the end of that Cavs game this evening? Jeepers. The Wizards were really hanging tough. Just as their coach, Eddie Jordan, once said, "You gotta harvest your nuts right now, man." OK, we really have no idea what that means, but I think it's appropriate how they played tonight. They never gave up.

Sadly, for them, that's probably how the series is gonna go. Maybe they'll win one game, if Jamison goes for a big number. But the Cavs had a really solid game from an unlikely source, Drew Gooden, and that might be the theme for the series. Share the wealth. Cavs up, 2-0, and on to DC on Saturday.

Yup, he's my congressman. Did I mention we now have newly placed gigundus telephone poles in my neighborhood? At least twice as high as the old ones? Is that his next press conference? Got wood?

How to prepare for an alien invasion. I'm going to find the nearest major Hollywood star and hang around them. They seem to make it through OK and there is always some unknown who tags along. That could be me.

Irish kids can't spell. They can text up a storm, which leads to the bad spelling. This year's Spelling Bee in the States is May 31 in prime time, of course.

Omar Vizquel turned 40 yesterday. He'll be a free agent again at the end of the year. You don't think he'd come here, naw, can't be. Could he?
