81

81 ... I mean, good morning!

I told someone that everyone should be greeted with "Kobe Bryant had 81 points last night," instead of "Good morning," or "Hello," earlier today. Now, I think "81," will suffice.

Yeah, blah-blah Steelers, blah-blah Seahawks (yet another team to beat the Lions to the Super Bowl); we'll have two weeks to talk about the matchup in XL. But, 81 points?? Let me put this in a bit of perspective. I've created a simple equation to put Kobe's 81-pointer in context:

81 pts. in an NBA game = 8 TDs in an NFL game = 8 goals in an NHL game = 7 HRs and 18 RBIs in a Major League baseball game (roughly)

I mean, come on. 81 points. That's just stupid.
