more on Sean Taylor

We start (with Andy, Steve and Lavarro at Morton's) with TK ranting about Bobby Bonilla, who is at the dinner tonight and his bad experience with him. Lavarro said that Bonilla was thebest person he ever covered.

And more talk about Sean Taylor. TK doesn't see the need to get rid of him NOW, since many times athletes beat raps all the time. And we finally hear the Tre Johnson comments that were mentioned on th show this morning.

Yes, more Deep Throat talk

Tk talks about how Woodward/Bernstein made the Post it is today.

Also, talk about George Solomon's becoming ESPN's in-house ombudsman. Yeah, right. ESPN is to criticism what Junior is to fashion: they just don't mix.

New Queen in town

Topic A (since it just happened) is the new owner of the Mystics, Dr Sheila Johnson, former wife of Bobcats owner and BET founder Bob Johnson. Tk gives us some backstory between Abe and Bob Johnson. Tk also equates the Mystics' "attendance banners" with Cub Scout badges. And the WNBA is a loss leader for the league, so who really cares.

More about the "friction" between TK and Mike Wise, talking about Mike bringing a Darth Vader mask to Full Court Press last week.

And tonight is the Lottery. For once, it flew under the radar in DC.

playing the race card

Andy trumpets taking the metro to the Nats game this afternoon.

We veer off sports to talk about Larry King's testimony being disallowed in the michael jackson trail. write your own jokes.

Back to sports, Billy Hunter playing the race card in the NBA negotiations. Wilbon doesn't like Hunter, since he apparently called Wilbon "an Uncle Tom" in reference to an 'anti-player' column a few years ago.
