Bill Simmons Apologizes to Brian Scalabrine
Not a joke. He played 19 minutes a game before getting hurt last month, shot 40 percent from 3-point territory and played surprisingly good defense, and that's before getting into all the intangibles (great character guy, everyone loves him, etc.). The Celtics were 19-35 when he played and 4-22 without him. Sure, anytime Brian Scalabrine emerges as one of the bright spots of the season, you can probably reserve hotel rooms in Secaucus without even looking at the standings. But given how much abuse I gave Scalabrine last year, he needed to be mentioned. It's not his fault Danny Ainge overpaid him." I should note that I wrote that exact last sentence this past July. I will now run my Scalabrine ode from two years ago: Scalabreezy: The end of a glowing Joisey aura (and era), a tribute … It's seems like just yesterday.

All Hail Lewis Hamilton
P-F1ers have only words for praise for Lewis Hamilton, although some think McLaren are doing the dirty on his team-mate. ITV, Jenson Button and Giancarlo Fisichella all come in for some stick... Have you got something to say? Let us know: letters@planet-f1.com Well Done Hamilton
Thank you Lewis, I have just got respect for you. You have the talent, you have the ability and the best car on the grid this year, learn all you can following Alonso and you will soon start winning, just learn and then next year show us how good you really are, not just a snot nosed bloke running before he can walk, and letting his mouth do the racing, by the way, that never works, ask DC, if we would have listened to him, he would now be at least 5 time world Champion.
Family briefs
Local children's book creators Caralyn and Mark Buehner try to get it "just right" in their take on the Goldilocks fairy tale. The Salt Lake City couple will read from and sign Goldilocks and the Three Bears, (Dial Books for Young Readers, $16.99) at 11 a.m. April 28 at The King's English Bookshop, 1511 S. 1500 East, Salt Lake City.
The Buehners will read from Caralyn's text, to be followed by a brief demonstration by illustrator Mark. The event is free and open to the public.
Utah readers may find the book's setting familiar. The bears' house is a log cabin in a forest filled with evergreens, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and bisected by a trout-filled stream.
As usually, the Buehners have hidden animals on each page for children to find.
