No, the events of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin hasn't slid past me. Sports leagues love stories like this. The NFL just came off Tebow mania and now the NBA - which was screaming for a special player to emerge - has their own Tebow in Jeremy Lin. Mind you, there is a difference between the two. Tebow was a College football legend and Heisman Trophy winner. Lin for his part wasn't even drafted and came out of nowhere. I don't know if either one will have lasting careers but they're fun to watch unfold.
Oh. In case you hadn't noticed, Lin is Asian; Taiwanese to be exact. You do the marketing math.

Whitney Houston is on record saying she abused cocaine but not crack. Either way, I don't own any of her records despite her awesome voice. As usual, we have to tread a careful line when it comes to mourning people we don't know, but New Jersey governor Chris Christie took it a notch higher when he ordered flags fly at half-staff for her.
