Five games. That’s how long Mike Brown lasted into his second season before being fired by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fair or foul?
The Lakers added Steve Nash and Dwight Howard to the lineup this season, although Nash missed three games because of a finger injury.
But it sure seems like Lakers management gave Brown the finger—and pointed it toward the door.
The move comes a day after Kobe Bryant called himself Brown’s “biggest supporter.”
“I’m too old to deal with that stuff. I really am,” the Los Angeles Times reported Bryant saying. “I’m really too old to be dealing with childish things.”
Hmm, maybe as a non-childish leader on the Lakers, and Brown’s “biggest supporter,” Bryant could have gone to bat for the coach, who is believed to have been fired at the earliest point in the season in Lakers history. Word on the street is that Kobe’s not shy about voicing his opinion and trying to get what he wants.
What do you think? Was Brown the real problem in the Lakers’ 1-4 start, or is the coach just a scapegoat because players weren’t focused enough to make Brown’s playbook work?
And does the move indicate that the Lakers—even though they may be your favorite team—aren’t the same great team they once were?

Here's the real story: http://bit.ly/UeMeTI How do I know it is real? It says Benghazi right in the headline.
People who complain about salaries of professional athletes are socialists like Nobama indulging in class warfare. The great senator from the great state of Arizona (no, not McCain) Jon Kyl (R-Capitalism) once spake thusly: "When Michael Jordan came, after he established how great he would be, he was given an enormous, almost unheard of salary. Did the other players say, 'That's not fair?' No, actually all the other players got big salary increases, too,the whole franchise did well, the people selling popcorn, the people parking the cars ... made more money than they ever would have had Michael Jordan never came to the team." And Kobe is better than Jordan [ducks] Nobody is forcing anyone to watch the Lakers. Don't like 'em? Change the channel to the 700 Club.

Socially conservative, fiscally...well who cares, look OBAMA IS A COMMIE! I'm sure you are not that dumb that you do not recognize that. But do carry on the charade, it is enchanting
Sends a message. "You do not get me elected, you do not have jobs, YOU GOT THAT!" Smart thinking there. Wonder if they'll do that to Meg Whitman who is running HP like a government. Stock has fallen to the lowest in several years, profits are low, employees had to be laid because, well let's say Obamacare, but HP's competitors are raking in big profits. I think Meg was fired. Nah, just kidding, she's fine, and I think she got some more stock options as incentive. ROMNEY RYAN PALIN 2016. Smaller, smarter, simpler.
