A Busy, Busy Night in Sports....

Wow...a ton to get to....I'll break it up by subject....and b/c the NFL gives us the "lead" story...we'll go there first
  • And that lead is....TO released by the Cowboys.....well, I'm not overly shocked but there's nothing I can really say about it....hasn't been worth the trouble in Dallas b/c he hasn't produced wins and he's getting up in age and down in production.....I don't necessarily support the move....they better get something out of Roy Williams this year or they suddenly have no receivers and with the way they timed this (TJ Housh off the board already and no real top flight FA WRs)....and if you haven't noticed, Jerry Jones is a terrible GM (he shouldn't be the GM anyway) and if he thinks getting rid of TO is the answer....good luck to him
  • Kurt Warner agrees to stay in Arizona for 2 years, $23 million... a bit of a discount from what he asked for....but I can't see any reason he'd wanna leave there for San Fran other than pure $ b/c Arizona is still the better spot as long as he gets to throw to Fitzgerald....
  • Other FA News....Ray Lewis stays in Baltimore (where he rightfully should be, lol) and Laveranues Coles signs with Cincinnati to replace TJ.....Sort of a "meh" move there
  • Torry Holt asks for his release from the Rams....this is flying wayyyyy under the radar but the guy is a borderline hall of famer right now....yes, I said that....and still has some gas left....teams would be insane not to go after him if the Rams grant him this.....go get him Dallas...
To the NBA....
  • The Hawks go down in New York....Al Horford gave what he had (20 and 13) but Josh Smith provided a fantastically terrible 2 rebounds on the night....I can't deal with him sometimes....
  • Miami 135, Phoenix 129.....Gotta love Phoenix Boxscores...my favorite part of this one? Dwyane Wade...how does 35 points, 16 dimes and 6 boards sound? My goodness....anytime you can overshadow a 29 and 10 dime game from Steve Nash AND a combined 57 points from Daequan Cook and Michael Beasley off the heat bench? Awesome....
  • Big win for the Mavs at home.....Tony Parker had a big-time 37 point game....but Dallas held on at home...at least JJ Barea is getting buried again (right Ryan? lol)
  • Cleveland clinched a playoff spot tonight....MAN, that sounds early to me.....shows how bad the bottom of the East is too lol
To the unpaid athletes (we think).....
  • Pitt over Marquette....well, Marquette has failed both tests since losing Dominic James...and have done so badly....Looking ugly for them going forward compared to what they thought they had
  • Missouri over Oklahoma....Missouri goes a ridiculous 18-0 and undefeated at home for the year....and despite Blake Griffin's 21 boards, this is a big time game for the Tigers
  • 2 pretty significant upsets.....#9 Kansas gets absolutely blasted in Lubbock by previously hapless Texas Tech....that one is shocking b/c of how bad Tech is but it looks like Kansas just let up after clinching the Big 12.....and Vandy takes down #12 LSU in Baton Rouge....not as shocking, but at the same time, this was a home loss....
Well there you have it
