Kidd Kraddick, Big Al Mack, and JC lost Round 4 of Battle of the Sexes to Shannon, Kelli, and Taylor in a surprising last second judge’s decision. The Battle of the Sexes is now tied. The presiding judge is a director of Prison Break, the television show filming here in Las Colinas and elsewhere around the DFW metroplex. He obviously chose the women’s movie trailer over the men’s because he didn’t want to be the reason the women lost the entire competition. It was a total PC move.

Charley Rosen recently posted an article on MSN about the future of each NBA playoff teams (thanks for pointing it out, Aaron). Rosen apparently thinks Chauncey Billups hung the moon. Apparently, every team in need of a point guard should get Chauncey Billups (not sure how that would work). According to Rosen, the Mavs are screwed. We can’t unload Eric Dampier (though we desperately need to), we need to trade Jason Terry, and we don’t know if we can trust Devin Harris yet. So Rosen’s solution is to get Chauncey Billups and suddenly Dallas will be transformed. Hmm….
