Our Iraqi correspondent: The kids are all right
Again, another long period of time goes by before we hear from my brother in law, Mitch, with his Marine Corps unit doing their stuff in Iraq. (That's him in the front with the sunglasses).
He had a brief moment this week to offer up these comments on how he sees the sports world from his side of the globe:
Hey Tom. Wow it has been a while. I have been swamped. I have a small break then I will get back at it. How is everything in sunny California? Go SC, one more to go. If we can beat UC UGLY then we can prove we are for real in Arizona.
My Colts are looking sharp, the D is getting healthy and Adai is showing up.
I don't want to jinx them but the Lakers are looking real real good, and with 15 mil coming available in 07, Garnett may be the missing link. Poor Shaq, even more so D-Wade mister Flash has shown he is no Kobe and can't win without a big man, especially when all the double teams go on Shaq to leave Wade wide open.
o Lakers, far into the playoffs this year, the title next year.
Iit may be a bit late but here are my picks for this weekend: USC over UCLA in a close one. Bears over Vikings, Seahawks over Denver, and Saints over Frisco -- that should be a good one.
Sorry I could not reply sooner. Take care. Kobe scores 52 against the Jazz, what???? Lakers looking good.

As you know, I'm not much of a sports person, but I sure do love the pictures and hearing from Mitch. He's becoming quite the teacher. This must be his third or fourth class of corporals. Thanks for providing this blog for all of us. Hugs, Mom LeBlanc
