Barack Obama goes left when driving to hoop, naturally

BarackObamaHS.jpgFormer NFL Network play-by-play man Bryant Gumbel sits down on HBO's "Real Sports" tonight with really bad bowler Barack Obama to discuss the Illinois Democrat's favorite sport: basketball.

The segment, taped last month, features what is touted as the first TV footage of Obama playing in a pickup game, against some younger soldiers.

WatchDog is politically neutral, but you have to give him his props. For a middle-aged guy, he seems to have good skills and speed.

If he becomes President, he will be the best basketball player in the history of the White House.

Although William Howard Taft no doubt was a formidable presence in the low post before the three-second lane was instituted.

ESPN's "E:60" also is back tonight in case you are interested in a sports journalism double feature.

There's no Devils-Rangers, so go for it.
