Adam Morrison scored 29 points in his second game of the Orlando summer league Tuesday night. He struggled in his first game, but you've got to give the guy one day to work off the rust. Meantime, Martell Webster and Brandon Roy continue to shine for the Blazers in the Vegas summer league, averaging 18 and 15 respectively. Can you image what it would have been like to watch these three together this season? I still say Morrison was the better pick, for three reasons. He can score, the fans love him, and they need a small forward, assuming Darius Miles probably won't be in a Blazers' uniform after Christmas.

The re-signing of center Joel Przybilla was a huge victory for the Blazers. But let's not get too excited. The move doesn't make Portland a better team, we had Przybilla last year. It only means they won't get worse.

People are still talking about the controversial headbutt by Zinedine Zadane, and about the way the World Cup ended on penalty kicks. Critics say a game shouldn't end, in the equivalent to a free throw shooting contest. I love the penalty kicks! After not seeing a single goal in nearly two hours of any given soccer match, its nice to see the ball meet the back of the net.

This is barely sports related, but I can't help but ask. When did Michael Jordon start shacking up with Kevin Bacon? A little weird, little weird.
