IT wasn't only former PH Under 23 team captain Matt Hartman who got suspended by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Disciplinary Committee but also team manager Dan Palami himself.
“I was also suspended from all football-related activities,” Palami told Sun.Star Cebu.

Fortunately for Palami, his suspension was lifted after just one day.

Chief Justice Corona Impeachment Trial- Day 7

Watch GMA News TV's replay coverage of the seventh day of the impeachment Trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The camp of Chief Justice Renato Corona formally asked the Senate impeachment court yesterday to have Sen. Franklin Drilon removed as judge for his being “openly partial and biased” for the prosecution.

In seeking Drilon’s disqualification as senator-judge, the defense camp noted that he has lost the “cold neutrality” of a judge, thus undermining due process. This, defense lawyers said, should prompt the court to order the “recusal, inhibition, or disqualification” of Drilon.

Kobe Bryant vs. Michael Jordan- NBA Greatest of All-Time

Who do you think is the NBA's greatest player of all-time? Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant?

Here's some comments from facebook page where the image were posted by kicksonfire.com

1. Gimo got it...during MJ's era there less competition than Kobe's time..so MJ will achieve more, I both followed them...we all should learn from them hard work equals success except if you win the Lotto, very good discussion you all.

2. These two players don't care. Theyre just lovers of the game in their own respective eras. They work, practice, And go beyond what is expected of them. 2 great players, 2 hall of famers, 2 different names that needs no comparison. -MJ and kobe fan.

3. Hugo Linsangan Orfinada- Just stop comparing Black Mamba to the GOAT... First of all they played in a different era, different rules,different competition level and different players... MJ's skills were too way advanced for his generation and that made him look awesome and unstoppable, w/c is true though. What I'm just saying here is, If you'll let MJ play in this gen proly he's at par with Kobe and same thing if you'll let Kobe play during his time... See the point? I guess what's important to know that for both eras they both dominated the game of basketball... Compare the stats.. Kobe > Malone, Barkley, Drexler, Miller,Ewing, Stockton, and the 90's players etc... = MJ > LeChoke, Dwade, KG, Ray A, Dwight Howard the answer, Vinsanity and upto the present players etc... The level of intensity and knowledge of their opponents make the diff bet the two great players... That's my 2 cents.. No to haters! Just appreciate and love the game! Peace! I'm a fan of both

4. Paulo Martin Velarde But kobe started nba way earlier than MJ...IMO cant compare the 2 they both played in 2 different era of basketball... What i can say is that MJ practically was way ahead of his time the way he played before and revolutionized the game of bball and kobe like the rest of the Stars of todays game was the product of it... But for this era this generation Kobe is hands down the best player!

Watch Kim Clijsters vs Victoria Azarenka- Australian open 2012 Semi-Finals. Kim leads their head to head, 4-2.

Defending Australian Open women's champion KimClijsters will face third seed Victoria Azarenka who defeated Agnieszka Radwanska, for a spot in the Women’s final.

Cjisters thoughts on playing Azarenka,“Tough player. Tough match. She’s playing extremely well, playing with a lot of confidence, and, you know, she’s gonna be a completely different match than what I was up against today. Takes a lot more initiative.

“You know, hits a lot down the middle of the court, deep, hard.

“So it’s gonna be very important to be dominant. You know, she’s improved a lot on her fitness and her movement, which was definitely a weakness in the past. She’s worked on that, so she’s becoming a more and more complete player.

“So it will be tough. I’ll have to play some of my best tennis to try and beat her”
