- A-Rod opts for surgery....this only impacts your life if you play fantasy (and were stuck with him in the top 3 overall somehow) or if youre a Yankees fan....but I was monitoring it b/c we had our fantasy baseball draft last night....so yea, he's out 6-9 weeks....at least a month of regular season play.....but the real key is how he responds off of this less invasive procedure
- Somehow the "lead" ESPN story is the Chargers presenting their "last" and "final" offer to LDT....This can't be news.....I object
- Jon Lester inks a $30 million extension....he deserves every penny...he was the ace of that staff last year and has been fantastic....
To the college hardwood....
- You already know I'm leading with UNC/Duke....The Heels swept the series this year despite the best efforts of Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler....and now have a virtual hammer-lock a number 1 seed barring some embarrassing loss in the ACC tourney this week....
- Speaking of conference tourney week....there's pretty much nothing better (other than opening weekend of the NCAA's of course) than live Big East basketball from the Garden starting at like Noon Wednesday.....brilliant!
- Speaking of great basketball....the West Coast Conference, the group of teams that I often shamelessly plug in this space, will play it's Finals tonight....but that's not what this bullet is....Gonzaga has made 12....yes, 12! straight conference finals appearances....that's an absolutely unbelievable number....let it sink in
- Northwestern's tourney chances took a significant blow....and I, for one, felt for Michael Wilbon....laughter
To the Association....
- Really Boston? We're suiting up Steph and Big Baby as starters? Yikes, it must've gotten bad up there....
- 35 points and 10 dimes for the still underrated (somehow) Devin Harris in New Jersey's home win....
- Maybe the most under-the-radar steal of this season in free agency? Nenad Krstic to the Team that Shall Not Be Named....Sam Presti fleeced the world on that one.....He's playing fantastic ball lately and he's still only 25...
- 2 of the top 15 point guards ever...Steve Nash and Jason Kidd....both are famously mediocre defenders....but now that they are up in years....Please do me a favor and just gander at their opposing PG's numbers every time they play them....and yes, I know Tony parker is good....but he carves Steve Nash like a rotisserie chicken every time they play....to the tune of 30 and 9 last night
- Somebody get Chris Bosh some help......
What to watch for!
- WCC Title Game 9:00 ESPN...Gonzaga vs. St. Mary's for the crown....Patrick Mills is healthy...and this is their dream matchup....I'm excited lol....like genuinely....and it's from Vegas and they have a 3-man announcing team involving Steve Lavin and Stephen Bardo? Do me a favor and tune in
- Hornets @ Hawks 7:00 FSN....The Chris Paul road show rides in....I actually like the Hawks in the matchup....but Mike Bibby guarding Chris Paul makes me throw up in my mouth a little...I can't lie to you on this....
Enjoy
