This kid is getting started early....John Daly would be proud!

On Monday (5/5) ESPNU will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo by showcasing players who have worn #5.  What a Steve & Craig move!

Here's the lineup:

9 a.m.- Edgerrin James: Miami vs. UCLA (1998)
11 a.m.- Donovan McNabb: Syracuse vs. Virginia Tech (1998)
1 p.m.- LaDainian Tomlinson: TCU vs. East Carolina (1999 Mobile Bowl)
3:30 p.m.- Reggie Bush: USC vs. UCLA (2005)
6:30 p.m.- Darren McFadden: Arkansas vs. South Carolina (2005)
9 p.m.- Christ Lofton: Florida vs. Tennessee (2008)
10:30 p.m.- O.J. Mayo: USC vs. Arizona (2008)

This is an example of a network have too much time w/ nothing to do....I can't confirm, but speculation that terrible voice-overs with poor edits will be manned by Kirk Jimenez.  Good looking out by my boy Juan who gave me a heads up on this.

Take a look at Roger Clemen's ladies and decide for yourself. 

Door #1: Wife, Debbie 

Door #2: John Daly's ex-wife, Paulette Dean (who was supposedly a hottie in the '90s when she met John)

Door #3: Mindy McCready:

I think I'd choose wife, Debbie - how about you??

now that I have your attention....

Was driving on Village Boulevard the other day and came up on an un-godly sight – ESPN Radio 760’s Ken LaVicka jogging…but wait there’s more…wearing a grey “wife-beater.”  Wait, one more thing...he was sweating like the late Louie Anderson waiting in line at a buffet.  This was 1pm, dead smack in the middle of the day, I almost drove off the road.

Why is everyone so big on the Western Conference playoffs and paying no attention to the East?  In my book, the East is as much if not more interesting, because I’ve already anointed the San Antonio Spurs, Western champs, while the East to me is wide open between Boston, Detroit and Cleveland.  Even though Cleveland is actually terrible – yes, they start Delonte West (see pic below for scary neck tatoo)and Wally Szczerbiak at guards – Lebron is becoming an all-time clutch playoff performer no matter who is running with him.  Mark it down.

…..and I still have the Pistons to the Finals.  Something about the Celtics still says to me they rely too much on the jump shot.

Eli Manning and Abby McGrew got married this weekend, but still some things on his registry available.  Since my co-host Craig and producer J.Mart rode me mercilessly a few years ago for my wedding registry (which I had about as much to do w/ it as Tiger’s swing coach does his success), I thought I’d beat up on someone else.  Still out there: $345 china vegetable dish, $280 sterling silver teaspoons, $240 2-slot toaster (for that kind of $$, it better guarantee NEVER to burn his bagels)…

Was reading an interview w/ Yankees Chien Ming Wang in the NY Post…some interesting stuff you wouldn’t expect, including his favorite singer – Snoop Dog and his favorite actor – Nicolas Cage

When no big-time skill position players are projected to go first in the draft, the prevailing thought is that the team picking first will have to overpay because the player can’t make as much as an impact.  But if the Dolphins go with a Tackle, I can think of at least 2 teams in the last 10 years that took a tackle atop the draft and have Super Bowl wins to show for it – Rams (Orlando Pace) and Ravens (Jonathan Ogden).  Hello Jake Long!

So it turns out that Miguel Tejada is really 33, 2 years older than he’s always said.  When the espn reporter busted him, Tejada should have just said that those B-12 shots he was taking with Rafael Palmeiro (yeah, right) make his FEEL like he’s 2 years younger and that’s all he’s trying to say.

“A Tradition Unlike Any Other” - this year marked the 5^th straight Final Four that Jim Gray has stopped by Radio Row to talk with Craig and I, amongst others.  And 5 straight years the interview has been extremely fun because you have no idea where Jim is going.

There’s been lots of talk about the long-term answer for the 3-4pm spot vacated by Steven A. Smith’s departure from radio.  All indications I’m hearing is that is seems to be a 3-way tie:

Steve & Craig

Steve & JMP (Sunday Sports Page-style)

Steve & Rollie – year-round Villanova/Northwood Hoops show

….or maybe not.  Actually, no need to include me in this…I’m withdrawing any personal push (and memo to others interested, my support can be purchased).

Odd….Michael Beasley (K.St., possible #1 pick in NBA Draft) and Penny Marshall (Laverne & Shirley) sitting next to each other at Lakers/Clippers

More odd….after wrapping up the Sunday Sports Page at Binks Forest Golf Club (great course, by the way - http://www.binksforestgc.com/), my Sunday Sports Page co-host, Jeremy Marks-Peltz joined as a spectator.  I was engaged in a 1 on 1 grudge match vs. Andrew the Intern.  Which of the following do you think occurred:

- JMP executing several swing and misses on the driving range

- JMP turning the on and off key on the cart, every time he started and stopped

- JMP yanking the flag mid-shot, which is a big no-no in golf

- JMP falling out of the golf cart, attempting to pick something up off of the fairway

Yes, ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Trevor Immelman’s wife, Carminita, today officially surpassed Amy Mickelson on my hottest-wives-of-PGA-Tour-players list and is making a run at Tiger’s wife, Elin Nordegren.  Can’t find a pic of Trevor’s wife, but here’s Elin:
