- UConn Women go 39-0....in a dominating fashion.... you've heard me discuss this....they averaged over 30 points per game in winning margin.....30!! (A new NCAA record for women OR men btw).....and that number, along with the shear ease in which they did it, and the ridiculous talent they've assembled (with or without 08 #1 recruit Elena Donne Donne) makes this the best college basketball team (male or female) in my lifetime....take it in...(and yes I know I just led with Women's hoops)
- The Masters is tomorrow....can you hear the piano? I sure can....Tiger Woods is the story (as always) and the Tiger vs. the Field argument is in full swing...How can you not pick Tiger? He has an almost 60% winning percentage in his last 31 PGA starts....IN GOLF! That's literally absurd....So, I'll take him....I know I'm stepping out on the limb...
- MLB Roundup: Josh Beckett was dominant with 10 Ks through 7 IP and now the Red Sox fans are in a full frenzy....Jair Jurrjens takes the scoreless streak by Braves' Starters to 13.2 IP...A rather large turnaround from last year if you followed that team.... Tim Lincecum only went 3 IP? Yikes if you're a Giants fan...but along with Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, and Brandon Webb....they cant ALL be this bad.... The World Champs are 0-2 and send Joe Blanton to the mound tonight....I, for one, love this lol.... Remember when Bobby Cox said the Marlins had the best rotation in the NL? He may not have been lying...Josh Johnson was dominant last night...and Ricky Nolasco is the truth.... and finally.... My Man Brandon Morrow got off a bad start...he mowed down the first 2 guys...then walked 3 straight, and wasn't bailed out by Miguel Batista who promptly gave up the 3-runs with 1 pitch to Denard Span.... his ERA now? over 40....
- DeMarcus Cousins, consensus top-5 recruit previously verballed to Memphis....will now go to Kentucky....to team with Patrick Patterson to form a top 3 front-line in the country immediately (with Georgia Tech and UNC)....huge coup for Calipari (who may lose Jodie Meeks however)
- I've heard this ridiculous theory that Detroit should just simply let a few teams pass them in the draft and still get Matt Stafford at a "discount"....there are several reasons this is utterly stupid....#1) Stafford's agent will simply say...you wanted him at #1....you have to pay him #1 money..... #2) The PR hit, in an already dreadful sports position in Detroit, would be too enormous for even the Lions....#3) The #1 pick was earned....in a negative way... for them to just simply say "naaaa we're good" would be the craziest thing I've ever seen.....
- To the Association.... where both 8-team conference representatives are pretty much set (although Charlotte is the closest at only 2.5 games behind Detroit, who's tumbling)....it's all about seeding here.... In the East... the real battles are between Miami and Philly (for the right to avoid Orlando in the first round) and between Chicago and Detroit (for the right to avoid Cleveland and play Boston without a 100% KG).... I'm going to take Miami and Chicago respectively....#1 because they are the better teams and #2 because of their easier roads... In the West.... Dallas and Utah are separated by a game to avoid LA in round 1 (the biggest factor clearly)...but 2-8 in the West are separated by.... 5.5 games....that's just crazy (compare it to 21 games for 2-8 in the East).... and the entire situation is about matchups....the Spurs are suddenly a more appetizing matchup sans Ginobili...Utah needs homecourt to compete (and Portland probably does too)...Denver is far from a sure thing at the 2 seed (in fact I'd probably pick New Orleans or Utah at this moment)....it's a mess...but a lovely mess....
Okay this got long....More tomorrow
