    No show as in he's not scheduled to visit today after all, or no show as in he's going to the Superbowl instead?

    Maybe he is "in transit" as we speak. Or maybe he will show up tomorrow. I believe the Chronicle article said something to the effect that Francis would go to Orlando Monday or Tuesday.

    Personally I like Carlos Arroyo the most. He is an old fashioned PG with great court sense, and he's still pretty young. Eric Snow wouldn't be bad, but he's getting old; the same with Brent Barry (although the thought of having a a tall back court and a tall front court is appealing).

    CD isn't going to end the summer without some FA signings, so we know we are only going to get better, and I think JVG will enjoy all this becaus he gets a chance to make his own team, rather than just coach someone elses.

    It was unclear, but they made it sound more like the latter.

    Eric Snow is 30 and has five years left on his contract. Even still, I think I'd be thrilled to have him running this team. Brent Barry would be nice as well. Carlos Arroyo might be the best choice in the long run, but I'm weary of Utah players. Jerry Sloan always seems to get more out of them than anybody else can.

    There are 2 more direct flights from IAH to MCO (Orlando) today. The first one leaves at 4pm CST and arrives at 7:30 EST. The 2nd leaves at 7:10 CST and arrives at 10:40 EST.

    If he's on either one of those flights, I think that we're giong to have to wait until tomorrow :(

    Hopefully he's already there...

    Let's call FBI to locate where SF3 is RIGHT NOW.

    Or call the airline reservation lines to confirm whether SF3 is traveling today.;)

    That'll be good since Francis, Cuttino, and Cato will be very motivated. :D
