The Tournament Field Is So Weak… |
|
I don't have a problem with who got in the NCAA Tournament and who didn't. Oh, and considering how weak the at-large field looks, this is hardly the year to be talking about tournament expansion. Contraction, maybe…

UCSB Is In The Tournament |
|
If you're going to put yourself out there, take a big swing. I'm talking about 15th seeded UC-freaking-Santa Barbara locking up with second seeded Ohio St. in Milwaukee. West coast meets Midwest. Big West meets Big Ten. Best thing I've seen since Michigan St. stud Steve Smith stabbed the fellas' in the heart in the second round back in 1990 in Knoxville. But I'm feeling something different now.

Woods To Return At Masters? |
|
I wonder if it was Fleischer's call for Woods to come back at Augusta, or if Woods and his agent came up with that all by themselves, because according to an A.P. report, that's what he's going to do. Because that won't be too big a circus! But not nearly the circus it would have been had he come back at Bay Hill as had been speculated. And that's why he's not doing it there.

Vikings Coming Hard For L.T. |
|
"What it do!" The Minnesota Vikings are coming hard, but couldn't get LaDainian Tomlinson to sign anything before leaving, so now it's on to New York to rap with Rex Ryan and the Jets.

Woods Hires Ari Fleischer |
|
Looks like Tiger Woods is finally ready to come out of hiding, and rescue the sport that made him rich, deviant and entitled. The New York Post reports he has hired former George W. Bush aide, Ari Fleischer, to help him formulate his re-entry strategy. And that he may be targeting the Arnold Palmer Invitational March 25 for his return.

L.T. Willing To Take Backup Role |
|
What it do? Question now is, what will the Vikings do after meeting with LaDainian Tomlinson? He's potentially a great pick up for the Vikings, if he's pragmatic enough to know he's no longer a feature back and has to accept a role. If he can do that, and doesn't let his pride infect his dome, he can end up in a good spot and not spend his last few days wasting away on bad team, chipping away at his legacy. No names mentioned… Emmitt Smith.

Lakers Get Some Help From Soccer Fan |
|
As I said yesterday, losing three in row is no reason for the Lakers to panic. But losing a fourth, at home, to Toronto, would have been. And they needed another buzzer-beater from the "Black Mamba" and a soccer fan going brain-dead courtside to do it. And while Bryant isn't panicking, he is bent.

Anderson Blasts Browns' Fans |
|
Former Cleveland Browns' Q.B. Derek Anderson got off one of the best parting shots I've ever seen from a fired employee "the fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner. I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured. I know at times I wasn't great. I hope and pray I'm playing when my team comes to town and (we) roll them." Just as I'm sure they'll never forget you calling them "ruthless" and saying "they don't deserve a winner". Oh, you'll be playing when your team…when you find one…comes to town; I'm just afraid it will be as a holder, on extra points.

Youkilis Decides To Give Back |
|
When you think of Kevin Youkilis, what do you think of? Two things, you think of a gritty, mashing, likes to fight guy. And…you think of a wicked, man's game goat. Trust me, as a guy who has rocked the goat for a decade-and-a-half, this is the guy we all want to be. He's probably the greatest follicular athlete ever. I love the guy's attitude and his game, but if his game was as good as his goat, he'd be Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax all rolled into one. And he knows it. And it's a gift he doesn’t take lightly. So he has decided to give back.

De Niro's Chance To Revamp Career |
|
Generally, I'm not a huge fan of sports movies. Not unless someone like Adam Sandler puts me in one like the Longest Yard, or Space Jam back in the day, and I can pull those 2 dollar residual checks once a quarter. Every once in a while, you’ll get a Friday Night Lights, The Blind Side, or a documentary like Hoop Dreams, but for the most part, they don't work because the actors aren't athletic enough to pull it off. And the stories are too clichéd.

Ben R. Guilty Of Stupidity |
|
Of course, Ben Roethlisberger is innocent until proven guilty…of a crime. But I have no problem convicting him of stupidity…in the first degree right here and now. Although no charges have been filed, police are investigating whether or not he sexually assaulted a 20-year-old college student in a small Georgia town. Considering who he is, what he does for a living, how much he makes…oh, and that he's still battling a civil suit from his first accuser, what was this guy thinking, prowling the bars, and trolling for college kids?

Schwartz Recruits Like College Coach |
|
Further proof that pro-football free agency is becoming more like college football recruiting every year. Last year Rex Ryan showed up at Bart Scott's house in the middle of the night to bag the Hood Champ. And this year, knowing he needed a pass rusher to get after the 'Ol Gunslinger, Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler…Lions' head coach Jim Schwartz went black ops outside of Kyle Vanden Bosch's crib.

Follett Gets Into Cage With Lions |
|
And I'll tell you the first guy Vanden Bosch should look for when he gets with his new team. Not Jim Schwartz, who gave him his deal and who he played for in Tennessee. Not his new defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, not even the kid…franchise Q.B. Matt Stafford. Nah, the first guy Vanden Bosch should look for is the one guy who truly exemplifies what it means to be a Detroit Lion. Special teams' psycho…Zach Follett.

The Mavericks Are Tough |
|
Until someone actually does take the Lakers down, they're still the team to beat, especially in the West…where a three-game losing streak is nothing to trip on. But, the Dallas Mavericks winning 12 in-a-row might be.

Lakers Are Not In Trouble |
|
The Lakers v. Magic may have looked and felt like Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and judging from some of the reaction here and around the nation, a number of you do think the Lakers have completely unraveled and the Magic really did just win it all. Yeah, that or the Lakers lost by a bucket to a team that was in the NBA Finals last year, in their house, in a game they needed even worse than L.A. A team L.A. beat last year for the title. To quote, Chris Johnson…"c'mon son"…

Ron Artest's Crazy "Do" |
|
Another reason I'm not hammering the panic button on the Lakers, is because "Ron-Ron" tricked out his lettuce. I get that a chunk of the "Laker Nation" thinks the team was better with Trevor Ariza than it is Artest. And that Artest himself is still trying to figure out what it's like to be option number four…instead of one or two. And that he's been dinged and not necessarily what everyone thought he would be. But they brought this guy in for what he could do in April and not before.

Tebow Charges $160 For Autograph |
|
What would you give to get Tim Tebow's signature on a piece of paper? Apparently, some 1,500 people were willing to pay $160 bucks for it. And some of them threw down an additional 75 bones for a picture with him. Tebow, who says he a portion of the proceeds was donated to his foundation was blown away by the proceedings: "...it's an honor to have people want to have your autograph and want to be around you:" Right.

Cavs Fans Set "Snuggie" Record |
|
You know how sometimes it's hard to gauge the exact moment when something "jumps the shark"? The moment it goes from interesting to annoying. From funny and fresh…to played and lame. Well, in the case of the Snuggie, it's not hard. It wasn't when they came out with team-logo Snuggies. Or, when they released "leopard print" Snuggies. Incredibly, it wasn't even when they released Snuggies for pets. No, that moment happened Friday night in Cleveland when 20,000+ Cavs' fans set the Guinness World Record for "largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets." Congratulations, Cleveland. What was the previous record, 2?

"Randy The Ram" On JRIB |
|
The beauty of the "Alone with Rome" and "Correspondent" segments is you never know what you're going to get. There was the time Baron Davis nearly blinded his teammate Monta Ellis when he pie'ed him, or when Dodger James Loney got his inner "Man-Ram" on, or the always popular teammate drive by…like the time the "Tru-Warrior" crashed Lamar Odom's segment. Or "Man-Ram" did the same to "Big Papi". But we hit an all-time high last Friday during my interview with former Tennessee safety Eric Berry.
