Is it just me?

Is it just me.....

- or does it seem like Marvin Harrison is being treated differently by the authorities and the media than other NFL players in similar situations (e.g. Ray Lewis, Pac-Man Jones)? And is it really necessary for the folks at ESPN to tell us every 5 minutes that the gun involved is a "custom-made Belgian" pistol? Is that really so important?

- or was the jockey riding Eight Belles in the Derby whipping the hell out of that horse coming down the final stretch? I'm no PETA member, but that video really makes me cringe.

- or did Samuel Dalembert, in Game 6 of the Pistons/Sixers series, with a mohawk and all the different designs shaved all over his head, look like Darth Vader when he removes his helmet at the end of Return of the Jedi?

- or can't multi-millionaires like Cedric Benson, Carmelo Anthony, and Bob Huggins afford to pay somebody else to drive them around when they want to get drunk?

- or should the Mavericks rethink their decision to entrust the job of getting the team past its recent playoff failures to a coach (Carlisle) with a career playoffs winning percentage of .484?

- or was it a little too coincidental for Duke Athletic Director Joe Alleva to leave and take the same job at LSU just in time to hire basketball coach Trent Johnson away from Stanford, which had the effect of both providing the perfect opening for long-time assistant Johnny Dawkins to get a head coaching position AND allowing coveted recruit Miles Plumlee to rescind his commitment to Stanford and opt to attend Duke next year instead?

- or is a tall, skinny white kid like Plumlee, who would rather shoot 3-pointers than grab a rebound, the last thing that Duke needs more of right now? I mean, if you're going to put together a conspiracy that elaborate, for God's sake, don't you have get a Brand or Boozer-type bad-ass in the deal?

Maybe it's just me.
