“He’s a good guy to me. As a person to person, he’s my friend. I don’t condone what he does.”
- Former NBA player Dennis Rodman on North Korea leader Kim Jong Un. Rodman visited North Korea earlier this year and is the first American to have met the new leader, who inherited power from his father in 2011. North Korea has long had hostile relations with the United States, but Rodman thinks that a good way to get the ball rolling in terms of opening up communication is to build on what little common ground there is between Jong Un and Barack Obama: a love of basketball. “He loves basketball. I said Obama loves basketball. Let’s start there.” The Chicago Blackhawks continued their unprecedented point streak Sunday afternoon, beating the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 in the shootout.
- The Blackhawks have now gone 22 games, the entirety of their season, without a regulation loss. Chicago has lost three times in overtime, but a win over Detroit has extended the Blackhawks’ current win streak to an NHL-best nine games. They are at the top of the Western Conference with 41 points, and lead the next-best team in the league by nine points.
“Wished we could’ve finished the job!!thanks for the opportunity an good luck in the future 9ners [sic]”
- Tweet by San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Randy Moss. The 49ers have given no public indication as to whether or not they would have Moss back for another season. He took to Twitter Saturday evening and indicated that he would not be returning to the 49ers squad. The 36-year-old Moss came out of a one-year retirement to play for the NFC champion 49ers last season, and has said that he plans on continuing to play in the NFL for at least another year.
