Tune into Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio and ESPN2 to catch Nascar's Jimmie Johnson and former NFL coach Jimmy Johnson. I know it's hard, but coach Jimmy has the hair that doesn't move and driver Jimmie has the eyebrows that go on for miles. (jayski)

Popo in my crib News:
Lakers owner Jerry Buss was suspended for two games and fined $25,000 by the NBA for his DUI charge. So let me get this straight, every single ref has violated the NBA's gambling rules and they don't get punished, but the owner of the Lakers who is in the mist of Kobegate has to miss spending two games in his luxury box watching his team fall a part for two games? That seems more like a blessing than a punishment. Watch out Jerry, because the popo are on your tail!
Braves Rumors:
