    I just got around to reading the SI article on Yao Ming. It talks about the furor around the maternity ward when he was born-- all 23 inches and 11 pounds and 2 ounces.

    My youngest daughter Ali was 23 and 1/4 inches and 11 pounds 8 ounces at birth and, at 4 years of age, she is already more aggressive than Yao Ming.

    Maybe I'll go to Agent School at night.

    Probably not as much as they would like.

    I met a WNBA player at a bar once and bought her a drink and later on I thought, "what the hell she should be buying me a drink since she probably makes about twice as much as I do."

    That makes me feel better that's not the case. Of course she gets paid to play basketball.

    That's around what I heard too. I heard a lot of them also have second jobs.
