The Barry Bonds witchhunt continues, with former best friend Steve Hoskins again being taken apart by Bonds’ Dream Team of attorneys….

This Hoskins seems to be one rat bastard….

Evidently Barry put Hoskins in charge of his merchandise sales, among other duties, because they were childhood friends and he trusted him….

Bonds’ reward for this was Hoskins allegedly embezzeling money. Evidently he was putting lots of money from Barry’s card, jersey and other memorabilia sales into his pocket….

Then, after Barry finds out about the stealing and fires his ass, Hoskins began secretly taping conversations between Greg Anderson and Bonds, trying to get even with his childhood friend….

This thief has no credibility and the more he testifies the better it looks for Team Bonds….

Speaking of low character witnesses, Bonds former mistress/call girl Kimberly Bell takes the stand today….

Bell, as you probably know, carried on an affair for years with Bonds, knowing full well he was married….

Bonds flew her around the country for sex, gave her a down payment for a house and had Hoskins give her $10,000 to pay for legal fees….

In my opinion, this makes her little more than a prostitute. If you have a rich, married man paying you for sex, what would you call it?….

Barry’s lawyers should easily destroy her on the witness stand, because she’s nothing but a gold-digging tramp who only went after Bonds when he cut off the money and she had to start making her own mortgage payments….

To keep score, the governments two star witnesses are a thief and a jilted woman who accepted money for sex….

Good luck winning that case….

What a shame to see BYU lose to Florida in overtime; not because I’m a BYU fan, but because they weren’t playing with a full team….

With 6’10″ big man Brandon Davies, BYU wins the game and probably makes the Final Four; without him they were reduced exclusively to firing up shots from outside and unable to deal with the Gators big men….

Jimmer Fredette shot poorly, but still scored 30 points and showed toughness I didn’t know he had. He’s obviously run down after a long season of being the Cougars only offensive threat, but kept playing hard after getting beaten up for 40 minutes and nearly pulled off a miracle….

Incredibly, with a group of teamates who would have difficulty winning a noonball YMCA game, Jimmer took Florida into overtime before running out of gas….

It was sad to see Davies on the bench in street clothes, suspended for the season for violating the school’s Honor Code….

Because had he played the Cougars win by double digits….

I still can’t believe Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson aren’t marching on the BYU campus over Davies suspension, carrying bullhorns and holding picket signs….

It seems like a home run for them; a black player kicked out of school and off the team for having sex with a white girl….

Unless all of his teammates are virgins, this ruling against Davies is hypocritical and racist….

And where are ESPN and HBO’s “Real Sports?”….

I’d launch a thorough investigation and interview all of Davies teammates, players on the football team, girlfriends and anyone else in the know about BYU sports and the Honor Code….

It’s time to blow the lid off this Honor Code nonsense and the school’s selective enforcement….

And if it’s proven that Davies fellow athletes have had sex while students, Brandon has a lawsuit which will make him independantly wealthy….

Once the Honor Code is exposed as selective and BYU administrators covered up similar violations, this thing is going to be just like baseball’s steroid scandal; something whispered about for years but never examined….

Certainly Jim McMahon never had sex, never drank alcohol, never cursed and never had a cup of coffee while a student at BYU….

Hit the laugh track….

I continue to be amazed at all the people praising BYU for sticking to the rules and demanding athletes live by the Honor Code they signed….

I’d join them if the rules were enforced equally and there was not evidence of BYU administrators covering up for white athletes such as McMahon….

But since Davies is being unfairly singled out while white teammates are doing the same thing, it’s grossly unfair to punish him….

I hadn’t seen Arizona play all season and had never heard of Derrick Williams before Thursday night, but after the Wildcats blowout win over defending national champion Duke I’m officially a fan….

Williams was unbelievable against the Blue Devils, throwing down a variety of spectacular dunks and knocking down three-point shots….

This guy is the real deal and looks certain to be the first player selected in the NBA draft, if there is one, this summer….

Granted, I don’t follow college basketball anymore and not an expert, but I can’t imagine there’s a better NBA prospect than him….

Just read some horrible reporting on ESPN.com, which stated that the NFL wants to begin testing players for HGH….

I wasn’t aware there was a reliable test for HGH, so read the column to learn just how the league was going to make this test possible….

But there was no further explanation, no reporting of a new, fool proof test for HGH and no explanation of how the league is going to test the players….

Wouldn’t you think that of a reporter writes about a new drug test for players, he’d also explain how the owners can justify this without a reliable testing procedure?….

Evidently the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been won, our borders are sealed, our children’s academic scores are in the top percentile and we’ve eliminated street gangs; because our Federal Government has the time to continue their witch hunt of Barry Bonds….

Yesterday before a Federal Judge, Bonds pleaded not guilty for a fourth time in his perjury trial. Yes, a fourth time, because three other times the government was beaten in court and had to refile and rewrite their case….

Bonds personal trainer, Greg Anderson, again told Judge Susan Illston he will not testify, which will probably earn him another couple of months in jail. And without him, the government’s case is doomed….

But instead of admitting they screwed up and moving on, the Feds stepped up their pursuit; costing American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars….

But it gets better….

Now they’re actually going to have Bonds former mistress, Kimberly Bell, testify about his testicles. I’m sure you think I’m making this up, but the Keystone Cops are really going to do this….

The prosecutors are going to introduce something called an Orchidometer, an instrument designed to measure the volume of the testicles. All I can gather is they’re going to bring in a fake set of testicles, measure them with the Orchidometer and have Bell testify about shrinkage; in their minds verifying their absurd case….

You talk about desperate. With no corraborating testimony from Anderson or Victor Conte, the only two people who could state with accuracy Bonds was a steroid user, it reduces the Feds case to Orchidometers….

And Bell’s credibility should be easy to shred for Bonds attorneys, because it certainly appears she was a gold digging skank who didn’t care she was carrying on an affair with a married man….

And if you’re staying with a married man because he showers you with expensive gifts, flies you around the country and gives you a down payment for a house; in my mind that makes you a call girl….

I know that sounds harsh, but is there that much of a difference between an expensive prostitute and Kimberly Bell?….

They’re both exchanging sex for money….

And if the Feds are serious about putting Bell on the stand to testify about the size of Barry’s gonads, the government case is on the way down the crapper again….

Makes you proud to be an American taxpayer, doesn’t it?….

And isn’t it funny how Bell came forward as soon as Barry stopped making her morgtage payments; after previously giving her the down payment for her Arizona home?….

Suddenly the lovely Kimberly was looking at no more jewelry, no more first class flights to 5-Star hotels, no more dinners at the Four Seasons and no more house payments….

Sounds to me like a jilted mistress who was upset her sugar daddy cut her off….

And what did Bell do as soon as Barry pulled the cash plug? Posed for Playboy….

Yes, Bonds lawyers are going to have a real hard time discrediting her….

Hit the laugh track….

After Andrew Bynum got off to a fast start last night against the Timberwolves, I was counting the seconds until the Zenmaster jerked him out of the game. Sure enough, with four minutes left in the first quarter, Bynum went to the bench and as usual, never got back in rythym….

So a night whioh could have been 25 and 15 turned into 14 and 7; because he only played 28 minutes….

On Sunday, Andrew had 16 and 10 in only 28M against the thunder; and that game could have been 30 and 20 without Kendrick Perkins and Nazr Mohammed in uniform….

I know he had surgery in the off-season and the Lakers are being careful with him, but this kid needs to be set free….

Forget rotations, second units and worrying about him getting hurt; he needs to play 35-40M per game and have the shackles removed….

He still doesn’t have the post game he should and toooften relies on his overwhelming athletic gifts ti get points and rebounds, but after watching the Magic’s 116-106 win over the Knicks, it’s obviopus Dwight Howard has really improved this seaon….

Two big things have spurred the improvement: 1) He’s become a reliable free thow shooter, at least in the past month. And when he makes his foul shots, it completely changes the way defenses prepare for him 2) He actually has a mid-range bank shot to go with the dunks, jump hooks and put backs.

He’s not Kevin McHale or Hakeem Olajuwon yet, but kudos for Howard for actually working on his post game….
