- NFL Franchise tags lead the news... this makes me laugh every time... we mentioned the Vick tag yesterday, and today Peyton Manning's exclusive tag rules the headlines... it's pretty hilarious when you realize what it actually means... did anyone actually think Peyton Manning was hitting the market? Why is this news?
- NBA Check - Miami's trio combined for 90 points including 41 from Wade (31 in 1st half) in their road win at Indy... but that wasn't the crazy part... if you haven't seen the Dwyane Wade-to-Lebron-James 90-foot alleyoop pass (link here: http://bit.ly/ei7mYn), get it in your life... OKC blasts the hapless Kings by 30.... 7 guys in double-figures for OKC including 20 off the bench for none other than Daequan Cook... that says it all... The Suns and Jazz played a barnburner last night which PHX won 102-101... Channing Frye led the way with a career game of 31 and 11 to overcome Al Jefferson (32 and 10) and company...
- College Hoops - Ohio State holds court against Michigan State... Sparty actually showed up for this one but it's a tall task to win in Columbus against that loaded squad... Not too much to gleam from the other top 25 wins... Nova, UNC, Missouri and Kentucky all won close-ish games that they were supposed to win... Mountain West darkhorse UNLV wins an ugly, ugly game 49-42 over Air Force... this is noteworthy because Air Force went nearly 13 (thirteen!) minutes without scoring in the 2nd half... and nearly won... uh....
- You know it's 2011 when David Stern is catching all kinds of hype for comments made... on a podcast... he went on the BS Report with Bill Simmons on Monday to discuss all things NBA and his comments about the Hornets are making headlines... Stern candidly revealed that there is a segment of owners who would prefer contracting the Hornets rather than continuing the league-run operation they are currently under... why is this news? It's simple math... and there are too many bottom line-driven owners that don't see anything except dollars and cents.. no surprise here...
What to watch for...
- Hawks @ Knicks - 7:30 SportSouth - This one should be interesting... they meet for the first time since the Marvin Williams fight/Al Horford explosion, and Amare is running his mouth... I'm excited...
- Nuggets @ Bucks - 9:00 ESPN - What a random, random national TV game... Denver is a bad road team (9-18) so Milwaukee is in play here...
- #10 Wisconsin @ #11 Purdue - 6:30 Big Ten Network - Game of the night for me... Wisky is a different team on the road and coming off that giant win on Saturday... I like Purdue here...
- #9 Georgetown @ #12 UConn - 7:00 ESPN3 - Why in the world isn't this game on a TV ESPN channel? We'd rather watch Louisville/Cincy? Really?...
- OK State @ #2 Texas - 9:00 ESPN2 - This is the best of the rest college hoops-wise because OSU is a decent opponent... if you want to watch Duke/UVA (7:00 ESPN2) be my guest... but Virginia stinks...
That'll do it...
