    Webber: Well, I'm going to see the doctor on Monday and hopefully I'm going to spend some time out there in Alabama and hopefully get re-evaluated and hopefully I'll be able to practice after that. All my one-on-one stuff and my drill stuff is coming along good and I'm able to shoot and run and do certain things. But I'm having problems with certain parts of the knee, so I don't know when I'll come back -- hopefully soon. I did think I would be back at this point but I'm not in charge of this -- my body is. We'll see what happens.



    Rome: Chris, you talked about the challenge you faced this entire year and how tough it's been on and off the floor. Of course, I think you're talking about the fact that you lied to a grand jury about your dealings with Ed Martin, a former Michigan booster. Why did you not just tell the truth?


    Webber: Well I really can't talk about that. All I can say is that if you know the court system ... (pause) ... What you just said ... (pause) ... If you know the court system, you know the court system. I think sometimes you're put in the position. ... You have to do what's best for family and people around you. That's all I can say about that.

    That's why Rome is the best interviewer in sports journalism. Good job once again Romey.

    I like Rome a lot, he gets right to the point, rather then driving right by it. Most journalists are scared to ask an athlete of Chris' popularity a question like that right on.

    Yeah, Rome doesn't ask any questions the players can get around. Straight to the point. I love the interviews Rome puts out.
