Wal-Mart Webstie Had 49ers Winning Super Bowl Day Before Game

When you’re a big company like Wal-Mart you tend to have things pre-planned just so that at the press of a button you can have everything ready to go for the public to see.

Well, someone obviously pressed the button too quick, as on Saturday, Wal-Mart’s website had them predicting the 49ers would win the Super Bowl and were selling a San Francisco 49ers Champions DVD.

Now knowing the the 49ers lost, this silly mistake is even funnier than before. Bright side is, the guy who made the mistake can at least say he wasn’t the guy responsible for blackout at the Super Dome. Hopefully that mishap doesn’t cost him his job.

Kobe Says Realistically He’ll Only Play One More Year

kobe bryant plans to play one more year

For most great players it’s hard for them to admit when the end is near. However, for Kobe Bryant he seems to have come to grips that he’s on borrowed time and that father time is slowly approaching his door step.

In an interview with theĀ Los Angeles Times, Kobe said he knows he’s probably going to play one more year and then hang it up.

“Realistically I have only one year left, so I’m trying to enjoy myself.”

Kobe is playing at an incredibly high level at this stage in his career, averaging 27 points, 5 assist and 5 rebounds and shooting 46% from the field, something he’s only done 6 times in his 17 years in the league. Kobe has been more efficient and become a willing passer in hopes of keeping the Lakers in a position to make the playoffs.

I’ll believe Kobe will retire when basketball season comes around and he’s not suiting up. He says he doesn’t want to be the guy that is hanging on too long, playing as his skills diminish, but what should make us believe that his competitiveness is going to allow him to retire knowing he can still put up 20 points a game?

Kobe will retire some day, I just don’t believe that day is one year from now.
