It was good one. Webber of course didn't participate but folks like Ice Cube and your boy Albom did. Reminded me how culturally significant those kids were outside of the sports rhelm--i.e. The L.A Rodney King riots which took place during the height of the Five.

I'm sure it will be on DVD eventually. Maybe it is available on demand. I will check this evening. I heard some of Albom's comments about it on his radio show. Another local radio show host (one that used to work with Albom) interviewed Billy Packer about the Fab 5. The results were what you might expect. The Fab 5 comments start around 11:45.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Well, well, well  Tressel Resigns Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel has resigned, the Columbus Dispatch has reported, citing university sources. The Dispatch obtained a memo university president E. Gordon Gee sent to OSU trustees Monday morning: "I write to let you know that later this morning we will be announcing the resignation of Jim Tressel as head coach of the University's football program. As you all know, I appointed a special committee to analyze and provide advice to me regarding issues attendant to our football program. In consultation with the senior leadership of the University and the senior leadership of the Board, I have been actively reviewing the matter and have accepted Coach Tressel's resignation. "My public statement will include our common understanding that throughout all we do, we are One University with one set of standards and one overarching mission. The University's enduring public purposes and its tradition of excellence continue to guide our actions," Gee wrote. Assistant coach Luke Fickell will serve as interim coach all of next season, sources said.

Dodgers file for bankruptcy. http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/27/l-a-dodger...am-payroll-mlb/It's a huge development in the saga of the troubled team. Frank McCourt has been struggling to make the payroll. Interestingly, the creditors include 23 current team members and former Dodger Manny Ramirez, who is owed $20,992,086. Andrew Jones, also a former member, is owed $11,075,000 and current slugger Matt Kemp is owed $216,944.
And legendary announcer Vince Scully is a creditor who is owed $152,778.
The top 40 creditors are owed a total of $74,121,433.

As much as I love seeing the struggles of the Dodgers, my worst nightmare would be for someone like Mark Cuban, who wants to buy a baseball team, come into a sport that has no salary cap... in the same division as my Giants. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens and the Dodgers would compete with the Yankees in payroll.
