Trolls do zilch for me these days. This is because I'm jaded. Allow me to explain. I moderate a rather high-profile message board. This has been a pastime of mine for a few years now. Over the years, I have seen my share of trolls, and I've learned that the best way to deal with trolls is not to react to them. You see, the troll is an enigmatic creature. They could be just about anyone you imagine…your teacher, your mail carrier, your sibling, even one of your parents or grandparents. They could be fine, upstanding citizens, who simply like to say inflammatory things on the Internet just to get a rise out of people…(continued) added by: DoctorLulzington

Filed under: Celtics , Lakers , NBA Finals He may not have won the regular season MVP. But as the 2009-10 season drew to a close, Kobe Bryant was the last superstar left standing. And while tonight may not have been his most scintillating performance ever, Bryant did what he had to, leading his team to the NBA title over the Boston Celtics . That’s why, for the second time in as many postseasons, the Lakers are taking home the Larry O’Brien trophy and Kobe hoisted the Bill Russell Award, better known as the NBA Finals MVP. The game that clinched the title for Bryant and the Lakers was hard fought and often ugly. Bryant wasn’t exactly his usual high-scoring self, going for 23 points on 6 for 24 shooting. In keeping with the gritty game, though, he did pull down 15 boards — much as, earlier in the playoffs, Kobe put up higher-than-usual assist totals when his team needed to get together on offense.

Filed under: PGA , US Open PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Shaun Micheel swallowed hard, rubbed his eyes and, working hard to keep a steady voice, continued with the story. The 41-year old PGA Tour journeyman, whose only career victory came in the 2003 PGA Championship, had just completed a 2-under par 69 Thursday at Pebble Beach Golf Links to claim a share of the first-round lead in the U.S. Open. He had finished with three birdies over the final five holes, including the 18th. He is tied with England’s Paul Casey and Zimbabwe native Brendon de Jonge. It had been a great a day — if you think golf is really important. “Every time I’m in a tough situation, I think of my mom,” Micheel said. “I love my mother. What do you say? She’s hanging in there.” A year ago Donna Micheel, 63, was diagnosed with lung cancer. Now, the disease has spread to her brain, liver and spine. “It’s hard to watch,” Shaun said.

Among the weirder penalties levied in USC’s general direction by the Committee On Infractions was the elimination of their 13th regular-season game, which was actually the season opener at Hawaii. Some background on why this is possible in the first place: The Sept. 2 game at Aloha Stadium was in doubt because sanctions levied against USC last week prevented exemptions from the current 12-game NCAA limit. A 1955 bylaw known as the “Hawaii Exemption” permits visiting teams to play one game more than the NCAA maximum if traveling to Hawaii. The rule was established to allow teams to schedule an extra home game to recoup lost revenue from traveling outside the continental 48. It’s Hawaii, however, that would have really suffered the hit to the wallet here with the loss of a home contest, and the NCAA has agreed to push the docking of a 13th game back a year : “We want to thank the committee for granting this relief,” said Todd Dickey, USC’s senior vice president for administration. “It recognizes the serious financial impacts game cancellation would have had to the university and state of Hawaii, as well as the fans and supporters of USC who have already made travel arrangements.” Yes, won’t someone think of the fans with the means to jet off to the islands to watch their team administer a bloodbath? Or of the certain four-letter sports network that stood to lose the nightcap of its opening-day coverage bonanza? The reality is the estimated million-dollar payday is one Hawaii’s cash-strapped athletic department could ill afford to lose. Coincidentally, “a million” is also the number of offensive yards the Trojans are expected to record in Honolulu. (Thank you!)

-There’s superstition, and then there’s letting Christina Aguilera sing the national anthem for the second night in a row. On the one hand, she kind of sucks at singing. On the other hand, the Lakers’ crowd was louder than I’ve ever heard it in Game 6, and they’ll probably have to be just as loud tonight.

Tiger Woods’ campaign to join the list of four-time champions at the U.S. Open saw some early troubles on the greens , but given the tough conditions seen on the opening round of the U.S. Open, he could be in considerably worse shape. Woods opened with eight straight pars before bogeying on No. 9 after he missed a 6-foot putt for par. At the halfway point of the round, he was two shots off clubhouse leaders Mike Weir, K.J. Choi, Ian Poulter and Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Woods remained 1-over after 11 holes, with two more pars at 10 and 11. Compared to his dominant finish at the 2000 U.S. Open, Woods is not faring poorly comparatively. Back then, he was only a stroke ahead of his current pace through nine holes. The only difference that he shot par on all of the first nine.

Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL no longer needs four preseason games, but the league should change its offseason training programs. NFL and union officials discussed adding two games to the regular season when they met Wednesday for their first negotiating session since February. Under the proposal, the schedule would switch from four exhibition and 16 regular-season games to two and 18.
