12/9: Meyer, Cassel, etc.

Greetings all...
  • Urban Meyer resigns as the HC of Florida... not TOO shocking simply because we've seen indications of this (last year) previously, but it still seems a little crazy for a 46-year-old coach to win 2 titles in 6 years and then resign... One note from me... I've seen alot of crapping on him in the post-Tebow era... please don't forget that he won the 2006 title with Chris Leak as his QB and went undefeated at Utah...
  • Matt Cassel had an appendectomy yesterday... and people are reporting he may play this week? That's not going to happen... I'd be shocked/appalled if he did...
  • The Yankees reportedly offer Cliff Lee $140 million... this is only news because I can't see anyone outbidding them at that price...
  • Carlos Pena signs for 1 year/10 million with the Cubs... seems like alot for a guy who hit sub-.200 last year, huh?
  • NBA Check - Miami doesn't lose anymore... 111-98 in Utah is impressive, and LBJ/Wade combined for a cohesive 61 points... best win since the Orlando beatdown early in the year... Andrea Bargnani had a crazy 41 points in New York... and Toronto still lost to the red-hot Knicks... Amare threw up a 34 and 14 for good measure... Ole!... Boston looked dominant in their 105-89 win over Denver... when Ray Allen has it going, they aren't losing to anyone... and lastly, Kevin Durant with an efficient 30 and 11 in a road win over Minny... that probably wouldn't have made it into this space except I needed an excuse to mention Kevin Love's 22-21 game... that's his 5th twenty rebound game of the season, and he's now averaging 20 and 16 for the season...
What to watch for...
  • Colts @ Titans - 8:20 NFL Network - Indy is in big-time danger of missing the playoffs if they drop this one (and they really still are even with a win) but they won't lose here IMO... Peyton's due to get back on track, and Tennessee simply can't score points anymore...
  • Celtics @ Sixers - 8:00 TNT - It's a shame Philly stinks...
  • Magic @ Blazers - 10:30 TNT - Portland will be thankful they have Pryzbilla back when they see Dwight walk in...
  • Georgetown @ Temple - 9:00 ESPN2 - The Georgetown backcourt is fun to watch.. I really like Austin Freeman...
