Carl Lewis to run for N.J. State Senate...Won't be on American Idol.

Four-time Olympic Gold Medalist Carl Lewis is running for the N.J. State Senate. At least this means the end to his singing career.
.
I was actually at this Nets/Bulls game back when I was in High School. Bulls won. Carl Lewis lost. I hope Carl Lewis is a better politician than he is a singer.
.
Even Derrick Coleman was laughing at him...You know you're bad when Derrick Coleman is laughing at you.

Could Carmelo Anthony even find New Jersey on a map?

This isn't meant as a slight to Carmelo Anthony and his one year of a Syracuse education. In fact, I'd bet that most Americans who don't live there can't pinpoint New Jersey on a map (hint: it looks like your mailman).
.
If Carmelo Anthony doesn't want to play in New Jersey and prefers to play at Madison Square Garden, as a Knicks fan I say God Bless him.
.
But where the fuck does he think he's going to live if he ends up with either the Knicks of the Nets? New Jersey. Carmelo Anthony isn't going to live in a housing project in Bed Stuy. He isn't going to live in a rent controlled walkup building on 72nd and Lex.
.
Dude is going to live in a 10 bedroom mansion in Upper Saddle River or Alpine New Jersey, regardless of what team he ends up on. Maybe he gets a house in Greenwich Conn, or Westchester, N.Y. But if he wants a back yard with a pool, 10 bedrooms, a movie theatre and a 6 car garage, he's going to live in the suburbs.
.
He'll probably live across the street from CC Sabathia.

Francesa doesn't want to talk about Carmelo for 15 minutes.

Mike Francesa started Friday's Mike'd Up by saying that he doesn't want to talk abut Carmelo Anthony trade rumors because he's sick of it. Then, he talked about the Carmelo Anthony trade rumors for 15 minutes and, aside from praising Derrick Rose, is still talking about the Carmelo Anthony trade rumors.
.
Mike didn't want to talk about the Wilpon's and their Madoff mess, and then he talked about the Wilpon's Madoff mess non-stop for four days straight.
.
New reports are that Melo to the Nets trade is done, pending his signing a contract extension. Bob's Blitz reports:
.
Nuggets get: 4 1st round picks + Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, Troy Murphy and Ben Uzoh
.
Nets get: Anthony, Renaldo Balkman, Chauncey Billups, Melvin Ely and Sheldon Williams.
