<title>[NBA] Laker&#x27;s Gasol probably finished with Lakers</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28274300</link>
<description><![CDATA[Undergoing surgery on his damaged knees may end Gasol's career with Lakers.
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/9256397/pau-gasol-los-angeles-lakers-procedure-knees
Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol will undergo a procedure Thursday to address the tendonosis in both of his knees, the team announced Wednesday.

Gasol, who will turn 33 in July, missed more games in 2012-13 because of injury (33) than during any season in his 12-year career.

"It's more than tendinitis, it's tendonosis," Gasol said. "There's a degeneration of the tissue, and it's something that I've dealt with all year. So I'll have to do something to regenerate the tissue so I don't have to play with this pain."

Gasol has one year remaining on his Lakers contract worth $19.3 million.

He acknowledged at his exit interview last week that he could have played his last game as a Laker.

"The future is uncertain," Gasol said. "There's no doubt about it. It's a possibility that I could be gone, and there's a possibility that I could stay. 

Gasol's teammate Kobe Bryant publicly lobbied for the team to bring Gasol back next season.

<title>[Other] Most Successful Football Program of All Time</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28302688</link>
<description><![CDATA[De La Salle High School is in Concord, California, which is about 30 miles from San Francisco. Their athletic claim to fame is their football program.  

Their long-time head coach, Bob Ladouceur, just quit so they will start the 2013 season with new coaches.  When he took over the program in 1979 at the age of 25 the team had never had a winning season since its establishment in 1963. 

Under coach Ladouceur their record was 399-25-3 including a 151-game win streak from 1993 to 2004.  In the Northern California Section they play in, (state is divided between Northern and Southern sections) they have won 256 straight games.  

They&#146;ve won the State Championship the last four years in a row with the Championship game all ways played in Southern California against the Southern California champion team. 

De La Salle also each year travels from coast to coast to play top schools from other states including other state's state champions. 

I cannot think of any team at any level in any sport that has racked up such an impressive record not to mention it includes many games against the nation&#146;s best teams.   Were the 151 win streak not a fact one would never believe that such a level of performance could ever be achieved. 

Overall in addition to above they have won a total of 7 national championships and 17 state championships. 

Ladoucer&#146;s coaching style and persona is a complete antithesis of the stereotypical successfully football coaches. He teaches religious studies at the school and his first emphasis with his players and students is on a complete commitment to the building of their character to carry them through life and not on the football game itself. 

&#147;The goals and mission of this school provide the basis for our success,&#148; Ladouceur has often said. &#147;If I had to choose just one lesson a student would learn from participating, it would be learning how to make a commitment. The key is to infuse commitment into everything we stand for and what we do.

Many measure success in wins and titles. We don&#146;t. Wins and titles are a byproduct of true success. It&#146;s what got us those titles that we are most proud of.&#148;]]></description>

<title>[Auto] RIP Dick Trickle</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28297833</link>
<description><![CDATA[What a damned shame. I thoroughly enjoyed ESPN and their announcement of where he placed in the race during SportsCenter.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/16/sport/motorsport/north-carolina-trickle-obit/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

(CNN) -- Richard "Dick" Trickle -- who parlayed a legendary reputation as a short-track driver into a full-time career on stock car racing's biggest stages in the 1990s -- died Thursday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, a North Carolina sheriff's office said. He was 71.
A Lincoln County dispatcher received a call -- believed to have been placed by Trickle -- that "there would be a dead body and it would be his," that county's sheriff's office said in a news release. There was no answer when authorities tried to call the number back.
Emergency units went to Forest Lawn Cemetery in Boger City and found a body lying near Trickle's pickup truck.

Some got to know him thanks to frequent references on ESPN's SportsCenter, with then co-anchor Keith Olbermann tweeting Thursday that "no sports figure Dan (Patrick and) I had fun with took it more graciously. In fact, gratefully."

<title>Mayweather on top of the world?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28265050</link>
<description><![CDATA[Floyd's getting a lot of good press for an apparently impressive outing Saturday against Robert Guerrero although the rednecks who wanted a "brawl" apparently weren't satisfied.  Looks like the next likely opponent will be 22 year-old Canelo Alvarez.  Under his Showtime contract he has five more fights and that he says will conclude his career.  Of course he should be labeled for the chicken he is for making every excuse possible to avoid what may have been the fight of the century with Manny Pacquiao a couple of years ago.  So, is he going to come around and do this before the contract (and his career) is over?  Of course it won't be what it could have been after Pacquiao's last outing but I still blame Mayweather more for this than I do Manny.

<title>[NHL] Kings to play Ducks at Dodger Stadium in January</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28268178</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://sports.yahoo.com/news/kings-vs-ducks-dodger-stadium-214825169--nhl.html

Now that the two Los Angeles hockey teams will be playing outdoors, I think my dream situation may be one step closer to reality.  Lightning @ Panthers for the &#145;Sunshine Classic&#146; in Miami, played at whatever Pro Player Stadium is called these  days :D  Either that or make the LA outdoor game a home and home series.  Friday night could be Ducks @ Kings at Dodgers Stadium, Saturday night could be Kings @ Ducks at Angel Stadium.  Lets really put these outdoor games to a test in the warmer climates.

<title>[Auto] 2013 F1 season thread...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28099055</link>
<description><![CDATA[Not sure I will be able to post much as I don't get the NBC Sports network.  I doubt my 1.5 meg down will really support online streaming of the race as well.  

So I will read about the races and wish I could see more than 4 racers this year.  Other than that - I will get the highlights from SpeedCenter and Dave Despain... :(

But all of you who can watch - please post about the races... :)
