Good Luck! After speculation on Saturday the Lakers do indeed sign guard Andrew Goudelock. Goudelock was originally drafted by the Lakers in the second round of the 2011 draft and played in 40 games last season. He was waived on Oct. 27 and played with Sioux Falls and Rio Grande Valley in the NBA D-League this season.
Good Riddance. T.J. Simers' tweet about the Masters summarizes my sentiments exactly.
Best moment of masters is when it ends and we no longer have to hear about bravery, courage and gutsy shots and jim nantz goes away

Good Grief. Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin dropped his appeal of his eight-game suspension after charging the mound on Thursday resulting in Zack Greinke's broken collarbone. But that's not stopping the San Diego scribes from fearmonging. From Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune:
One final word of caution about this series, though: If any of you Padres fans who aren’t going to games in San Diego were thinking about attending at Chavez Ravine and wearing our SD gear, please reconsider. Dodgers games are the new Raiders games in Los Angeles, and anyone wearing an opposing team’s gear in the parking lot is more unwelcome as Quentin would have been on the field.
