I'm a little bit surprised at the uproar surrounding the appearance of Zombie Earl Woods on a commercial released to coincide with his son's comeback at the Masters. I have come to wonder what some people expect here. Are people expecting an exhibition of public shame from the Nike Corporation? Are people expecting, you know, good taste? Did people expect a kind of chastened modesty from the athlete in question?
Rebuilding the brand is tough work. It's not for sissies.

“Still too early, but I share the concern. Would love to see the eventual second unit guys – Baby, Jeff Green, Arroyo, West and probably Kristic – get to play together. Rondo looks exhausted and it would be helpful if Doc could cut back his minutes.
Also, I strongly suspect there were concerns that Perk was not the same player anymore.”

“Packer was serious about hoops. I knew it was a big game when Musberger/Nantz would call a game with Packer. He was old school so he took delight in fundamentals such as a pick/roll or boxing out a rebounder. I'm still a young kid, but I enjoyed his analysis.”
