MANNY PACQUIAO 90210

After yesterday's parent-teacher conference, we passed this majestic photograph outside the Niketown on Wilshire in Beverly Hills that lit up our eyes. Bigger than Kobe's photo (which was inside the store--and this is L.A. Lakers town!) is the Philippines' pride and joy, Manny Pacquiao's image himself.

As Manny said in a recent appearance on Kimmel: "At times I'd like to break you, and drive you to your knees...at times I'd like to break through, and hold you endlessly..." Now I don't know if those are secret words of war or what, but I'm wishing him luck and guidance on this upcoming fight. I hope too that nobody bites off a piece of an ear or anything.
