Friday bullets

It's a really busy day at my real workplace, but here are some things I wanted to pass along:

A couple of days ago, San Sebastian and Arellano upset San Beda and Letran, respectively. This is turning out to be a crazy NCAA season, even crazier than last year! Btw, is Jimbo Aquino for real?

Floyd Mayweather is broke and delusional. As TQBR noted, can we stop calling him "Money" now? He's also, apparently, a softie.

Kobe Bryant is coming to Manila! This is going to be crazier than Gil's visit. I hope Kobe doesn't try to rape anyone. Ha!

Ginebra vs. SMB game 2 tonight. I think the only chance San Miguel has is if Marc Pingris goes berserk (in a good way). Also, why does Danny Ildefonso turn into a wuss every time he plays Eric Menk? It's been happening for what, ten years now?

Japeth Aguilar makes a solid debut for Powerade Team Pilipinas, in a tuneup game versus a selection of Christian athletes from NCAA D1 schools. Only six players -- Aguilar, Arwind Santos, James Yap, Kerby Raymundo, Ranidel de Ocampo, and Willie Miller-- were available for the national team, so Yeng Guiao enlisted Wynne Arboleda, Mark Yee, and Beau Belga to help out. I love the idea of Belga on the national team. If we make it to the World Basketball Championships, I'll start a campaign to include him.

Taking off the snark hat for a moment, here's a shout-out to James Yap's mother-in-law, former president Corazon Aquino, who's in stable but delicate condition. I'd point everyone to this profile of Cory from 2006 written by Sheila Coronel as a good place to look, for anyone who wants to keep her in thoughts and prayers.

Happy weekend everyone! See you on Twitter later for the game!

So the San Miguel Beermen are the champions of the 2009 PBA Fiesta Conference, hammering Ginebra, 90-79. The Beermen led from start to finish, frustrating every comeback mounted by the Gin Kings. I know I picked Ginebra to win, but I also offered a ca
