The difference between Bryan May and I in our recent outings at Chris Webber's restaurant?
He had a microphone in his hand and I had, well, a Hefeweizen in mine.
The outstanding News10 anchor has a quality interview with Webber himself from Sunday in which he says he'll be playing again in two weeks after a looser timeline was set for the Bee's Scott Howard-Cooper in this recent update.
Coincidentally, I ran into Webber at his joint on Saturday night and was hearing more like seven to 10 days. A source close to Webber said the suitors are the Lakers, Detroit, Miami, Orlando and Toronto - with the Magic and Raptors considered longshots. Just speculation here, but among the top three of the Lakers, Pistons and Heat, my money was on the Lakers even before their frontline took a major hit. A decision has by no means already been made, however. Stay tuned on that.
Otherwise, I couldn't help but laugh in the May interview when Webber talks about adding soul food to his restaurant's menu because "the people" had asked for it. Sure enough, one of those people was the Bee's own Marty McNeal, who didn't take long to put in his own request when dining there for the the first time.
It was last year, as myself, Marty, and KHTK's Sean Cunningham ate there and Marty spent a few minutes browsing through the menu. When he was done, he pulled his cell phone out and promptly left a Marty Mac-style complaint on Webber's voicemail about the absence of soul food. Now, as Marty tells me, the specific request is for chitlins. We'll see what kind of pull he has when the new menu is released. - Sam Amick

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com
Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)
Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.
If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
