I take two days off to pull a Ken Griffey and a Keith Hernandez and I miss a ton of good stories. I know Andy Gray kept you up to date on things, but I need to comment on one item he covered yesterday, and that's Hope Dworaczyk being named the Playboy Playmate of the Year. First off, I want to congratulate Dworaczyk because she's been a Hot Clicks favorite who has been featured in this space a few times (including here and here). I need to thank Gray for not using Dworaczyk's picture, so I was able to do so today. Lastly, you may have heard that Dworaczyk's spread in the magazine will be in 3-D. We all should be thankful for that because it's given us this video that ranks pretty high on the unintentional humor scale. (Thanks to Jeff Stewart, of Allentown, Pa., for the link.)
You Gotta Have Hope

LeBron James has taken a beating in the blogosphere (and was called out by Charles Barkley) after last night's dismal 15-point effort. With the Cavs on the brink of elimination and James possibly one game away from leaving the Cavs, potential suitors have stepped up their efforts. Well, "potential suitors" might be the wrong phrase. It's more like fans of the potential suitors. For example, the Web site SendLeBronToChicago.com has recently cropped up. And then there's New York's most famous gentleman's club, Scores, doing their part to recruit the King.
