Lebron, Cutler, Cleveland State, etc.

Coming to you live from the land of insomnia....it's 2:12 eastern as I begin this....
  • Lebron James with a ho-hum triple-double tonight.....that's 2 in a row....32, 13, and 11 in this one and they came back to get a road win....felt like this was worth mentioning....
  • Jay Cutler is a bit of a headcase it seems....apparently he went nuts on a conference call with Josh McDaniels...get over it sir....
  • The UConn women won by 39....39!!! against #5 Louisville to win the Big East....Louisville was #5 in the country!!!! I can't stop using exclamation points!!!....But seriously....I realize not many people care about this....but just to add it on....this team lost the #1 recruit in the nation this year b/c Elena Donne Donne quit basketball the week before practice started....and they've subsequently won every game by an average of over 30 per, and not won a game by single digits all year....it's patently absurd
  • Ladainian Tomlinson to return to San Diego....restructures his deal....we all saw this coming...but he's at least making more than his backup (which was somehow in question)
  • Butler loses in the Horizon final....and costs some poor bubble team a spot....The Bulldogs are in no danger....but Cleveland State will steal the spot from Florida or San Diego State or something....ah well....
  • Suddenly Larry Hughes isn't forgotten....39 points helps....but that situation fits him perfectly.....
  • Does Russell Westbrook have any chance of edging Rose and Mayo for ROY honors? He should....
  • I guess I should mention the Netherlands/Dominican Republic upset....Congrats to the Dutch squad....and it's a nice story....but the event still means generally nothing to me
I exhausted alot of my blogging options earlier....BUT....What to watch for....LOTS of college hoops....
  • Big East Tourney: Depaul/Providence Noon ESPN
  • Big East Tourney: West Va/Notre Dame 7:00 ESPN
  • Pac-10 Tourney: Oregon State/Stanford 9:00 FSN
  • Pac-10 Tourney: Wazzou/Oregon 11:30 FSN
  • Jazz @ Hawks 7:00 SportSouth....Gotta have the local love....and while I'm here....the Hawks are a 1st-round exit regardless of matchup without Marvin Williams....so get better soon
