    Minnesota Timberwolves: Late night wisecracker Craig Kilborn, a native Minnesotan, will suit up with the Wolves next week when the team meets for training camp.

    The host of "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn," who played basketball for Hastings High School and Montana State, is an unabashed Wolves fan. Wolves coach Flip Saunders on Monday officially invited Kilborn to join the squad for a few workouts, although the visit had been in the works for weeks.

    "I am excited about having Craig join us at training camp," Saunders said. "I hope he is in shape and prepared for this. He better not expect any preferential treatment, either."

    Kilborn will practice with the Wolves on Monday and Tuesday at the team's training camp in St. Cloud. "Two words for you: bounce pass," Kilborn said. "I have two more words for you: groin pull."

    Reminds me of when Letterman boasted that he could pitch a scoreless inning against the Astros AA team back in '86. He got an invitation to try, but he chickened out.

    Wuss.

    Killborn is my favorite late night tv personality. I wish him the best.

    Finally Garnett gets some help to get him out of the first round!

    :)

    Heard this on the show last night. Kevin Nealon was on, I wondered what the hell happened to him.

    Anyone catch Letterman a month or so ago when Biff Henderson tried hitting against a minor league pitcher? He struck out, but he went down swinging (it was pretty funny).
