So how about that? Grant "Not Peaches" Napear and his pal Mike Lamb, making friends. Or not.

The pair questioned Ron Artest's absence on Tuesday afternoon (due to injury and/or fatigue; his daughter's cancer has recurred). Ron-Ron caught word and responded Wednesday in the paper. Beno Udrih also responded to the charges, through part of an interview with The Bee's Sam Amick, which ended up on Sam's blog.
