chris webber: back in golden state to retire

it was only a few weeks ago when c-webb joined the golden state warriors . today though, the veteran is ready to announce his retirement after 15 years in the nba. when he joined the warriors again earlier this year, there were questions as to how he will affect the chemistry within the team. it turns out that his arrival did not even make any great impact on the locker room nor on the hardcourt. he only played nine games in his second stint with the warriors before being sidelined again. so, it was really a good call on the part of the detroit pistons not to sign him. with the golden state warriors defending their number 8 spot in the competitive western conference, i don't think webber's departure will be given much thought.

" People who say that are the same people who said me scoring 81 was nothing because we played again...

a bit late again but here it goes. lewis hamilton won the 2008 australian grand prix which means he's got ten points and is obviously the leader in the drivers' championship standings. nick heidfeld who qualified fifth upstaged his teammate robert kubica to earn a second-place finish. nico rosberg, son of former world champion keke rosberg completed the top three. rosberg's third place finish is his best so far. it is interesting to note that his father's last win in f1 was in the 1985 australian grand prix. keke also last participated in an f1 race in the 1986 australian gp. anyway, only seven drivers finished the race. on fourth is renault's fernando alonso; mclaren's kovy, fifth; williams' nakajima, sixth. toro rosso's bourdais had an engine failure with just three laps to go, he was nevertheless placed seventh which means two points. defending champ kimi raikkonen also had engine problems and had to settle for eighth. honda's reubens bar...
