COLLEGE BASKETBALL:
Memphis owned Tulsa last night. Joey Dorsey was nowhere to be found. He even tried goin with the fro, but it did not work. He's not the sole reason Memphis lost to Tennessee. If Willie or Mack hit one 3pter a piece in the UT game then Memphis wins. They finally broke out of their respective funks last night. That's good because it doesn't look like Joey is breaking out of his anytime soon. That's ashame too since his senior day is coming up.....
NBA:
Hornets owned the Suns last night. Yes, the Suns are slower. That's what happens when you trade the best player in the league at running the break for the worst player in the league at running the break. They say they're still trying to figure it out. I've got it figured out. You aren't better than the Lakers, Spurs, Mavs, Hornets, or Jazz. It didn't take the Lakers long to figure it out when Pau got there.
We're all hoping for a Celtics/Lakers Finals. If you're not then you don't like basketball. A lot of people think it's going to happen, but since the trade deadline (Cleveland gets Big Ben, Wally World, Delonte West, and Joe Smith while San Antonio picks up Kurt Thomas) has anyone thought we could have another Spurs/Cavs Finals? Mr. Stern hopes not and the rest of America is with him.
Caron Butler has a torn hip. That sucks. Washington at least had their heads above water while Agent Zero was out. Now they're under .500. They'll still make the playoffs (I think they're the 6 seed now). If they can get Agent Zero and Butler back for the playoffs look for them to maybe upset Orlando in the first round.
MLB:
Roger Clemens is royally screwed. He should've taken the Bonds approach. At least he kept his mouth shut.
Jon Heyman from SI said yesterday on Verno's show that Mark McGwire may make an appearance at Cardinals spring training. Is he finally ready to talk about the past? Because that's all anyone wants to talk to him about.
NFL:
Panthers signed Mushin Mohammed and released David Carr. Good decisions.
Tom Coughlin got paid. F you Tiki Barber.
Free Agents can sign after midnight tonight. Great. I hate football talk in the middle of basketball season.
PREDICTIONS FOR THE DAY:
Darren McFadden will put up Adrian Peterson like numbers next year.
Tennessee will not be a 1 seed because they will not win the SEC Tournament. 1 seeds will be Memphis, UCLA (they will win Pac-10 Tourney), winner of the Big 12 tourney (Kansas or Texas), and winner of ACC tourney (UNC or Duke).
Here's to Myron Cope....

The Aftermath
Wild one Saturday night in Birmingham. The Tigers played like, well, like, like, well, crap. The only guys who were worth anything were Antonio Anderson and CDR. CDR proved himself worth of being a first team all american. Robert Vaden was unbelievable for UAB. He will play in the NBA. Short summary: Tigers trailed 77-70 with 1:32 left. Anderson hits a 3, CDR hits a 3, Vaden makes 1 of 2 FT's, CDR hits a bucket and draws the foul. Vaden comes back down, throws up a wild shot, Kinnard follows it up with a made bucket but the buzzer had already sounded and UAB had just choked. Yes, they choked.
Pierre Niles then starts taunting the UAB fans, so does Shawn Taggart and so on and so on. Joey Dorsey had lost it and was about to kill someone. My thoughts are this: you do have to learn to control yourself in that situation. The fans have nothing to lose and the players have everything to lose. The only way I say it's ok to fight back is if someone spits on you. Some reports have said that Joey Dorsey was spit on. Why you would spit on Joey Dorsey I have no idea, but that was being reported. This doesn't have anything to do with where these kids are from or how they were brought up. You can go to Germantown and spit in a kid from the burbs and he's going to punch you. It's a man code. I bet Greg Paulus would hit someone if they spit on him. I'm not a fighting man either, but spitting crosses the line.
As for Pierre Niles. You didn't even play. What are you running your mouth for and slapping people? You are the biggest waste of space on the earth. You have talent, but no, you'd rather eat at Gus', Taco Bell and McDonalds. My guess is he gets suspended for the Tulane game on Wednesday and possibly the Tennessee game. Who cares thought, kick him off the team.
Pancakes
-Taylor/Pavlik II was worse than watching a Grizzlies game. I went up to Gills for this one and was pretty excited for it since I heard the first one was so good. This was a boring fight. Jermain Taylor kills boxing. He doesn't fight. I had people in the bar ask me who I was going for and I said: "Pavlik" everytime. They were shocked that I wouldn't go for the local guy. I don't like to root for guys that don't box. Pavlik will punch you. Taylor lays back. The point of boxing is to punch the other person in the face. Taylor does not understand that. Pavlik easily won. Who knows what Jermain Taylor does next. Pavlik threw twice as many punches.
-Dwight Howard was awesome in the dunk contest. Superman dunk was a bit overrated. He had the outfit and the showmanship to pull it off.
-Rudy Gay wasn't horrible. Well, his first dunk was horrible. His 2nd dunk was good. Either way, no surprise to see the Grizz disappoint again.
-LeBron wins MVP of the All Star Game. It wasn't the same not seeing KG, Kobe or Shaq out there.
-Tigers and Vols will meet as #1 and #2 this Saturday (8:00 on ESPN). Picking the Tigers, but they can't let Lofton get hot like last year.
-Mike Miller WILL be traded by the deadline.

Yea I Take Steroids. I Eat That S*** for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee were on Captiol Hill this morning. They both got drilled pretty hard. McNamee seemed to at least have an explanation or quick response to everything. Clemens stumbled a lot. He also had the look on his face that he wanted to throw his 90mph + fastball at each Congressman's head.
Clemens said Andy Pettitte was "one of the most honest men in MLB." Congressman responded with saying that Pettitte said in his deposition that Clemens told him he used HGH. Clemens' response? "Andy misremembers our conversation." I don't know if all the steroid accusations will ever be proven (unless they make Clemens provide DNA to match with the syringes and gauze pads), but the guy took HGH. Just admit it. You look like an idiot.
Funniest part of the day? Knowing McNamee put a needle in Mrs. Clemens' butt.
TIGERS
They play Houston tonight at FEF. This is a blowout waiting to happen. I can't wait for next Saturday.
GRIZZLIES
Hey! They won a game. There's no reason for the Kings to have a better record than the Grizz. Especially when Artest and Bibby missed so many games. We'll see what they do with the cap room. I'm guessing nothing, but we'll see.
COLLEGE HOOPS
Kelvin Sampson is in more trouble than we thought. Apparently he violated telephone recruiting restrictions at Indiana (he was already on probation for doing the same thing at Oklahoma). Sampson and 2 assistants have lied about it to NCAA investigators and Indiana University. I would bet that most schools find loop holes to get away with these things. I also know Sampson made these calls from his office phone (a phone that can be traced). Ever heard of using a pay phone? I know that's probably the way most coaches do it, or they just use a random cell phone. Boo to you Sampson for being a moron. Indiana hosts #14 Wisconsin tonight. Should be interesting to see how they handle it.
Kentucky was beat down by Vanderbilt last night. Finally, Vandy has a good win. Yes, Kentucky isn't very good but they had won 5 straight which included a win over Tennessee so that counts as a good win for Vandy.
There are only a few teams that can win the National Championship. Here they are:
Memphis, Kansas, UCLA, Tennessee, UNC, and Duke. If Tennessee runs into a team that has a good big man (like UCLA and UNC) then they will struggle (see Patrick Patterson of Kentucky).
NBA
Shaq may play Thursday vs. Mavs. Good, but Phoenix still made a desperate move and aren't going to the Finals. It's going to be Lakers/Spurs or Mavs/Lakers in the WCF.
Stan Van Gundy called out Dwight Howard. SVG says Howard gets upset when he doesn't get the ball on offense. SVG wants Howard to worry about defensive rebounding more. If you don't think the rebounding effort from Howard has been there then that's fine. As a coach, shouldn't you also be upset that your best player isn't touching the ball enough on offense? Brian Hill was fired because Howard felt like he didn't get enough touches. Be careful SVG.
All Star Game is this weekend in New Orleans.
Sophomores win the Rook/Soph game.
Gerald Green wins the Dunk Contest again. However, Rudy Gay will do much better than Hakim Warrick did.
West will win the All Star Game. Allen Iverson is MVP.
Somebody will get shot at a strip club on Bourbon Street.
Here's to the All Star Game this weekend. Zach Randolph knows the biz...

Beat A B****, Rob A Ho
Robert Dozier could be charged with assault after alledgedly hitting his girlfriend. Reports say he followed her outside the Plush Club on Sunday night. They pulled over at Union and 2nd, got into a dispute, and he hit her. WHAT IS HE DOING????? You played with Jeremy Hunt. Didn't that teach you a lesson? Oh wait, Hunt was allowed back on the team and so no, it didn't teach anybody a lesson. Dorsey will come off the bench tonight and I suspect it has something to do with him throwing the ball at the ref Saturday afternoon vs. UTEP. This season could be memorable and even if they do make the Final Four, all anyone will talk about is how Dozier hit his girlfriend and was still allowed to play basketball. First you had CDR pissed off about Thanksgiving, then Andre Allen was pissed off about lack of playing time, now we have Dorsey throwing balls at refs and Dozier punching chicks. They'll still beat SMU by 20, but this thing could fall apart.
Now, more knowledge for your brain....
-Duke at UNC tonight. I've been to one of these games and they are worth all the hype. I hate Duke, but they will win tonight. UNC is overrated and now they don't have Ty Lawson which means Paulus is free to go (he couldn't guard Lawson for doo doo last year). Dickie V is back. Who cares? Duke wins by 8. Final score? 80-72 Duke.
-Shaq is in Phoenix for a physical. If he passes, he will be a Phoenix Sun. Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks go to Miami. Makes sense for both teams. Miami needs to get younger and more athletic. The Heat will still have a top 6 pick and they will try to net a point guard in the draft. Phoenix needs some interior defense. Shaq, i guess, can help that. He's not Shaq of 5 years ago. Hell, he's not Shaq of 2 years ago, but he's big. It's a move to get them by the Spurs. Plus, the Suns are 5-8 this year against teams with winning records so they weren't going anywhere with the lineup they had. Prediction? Phoenix isn't going to the WCF. That'll be a Lakers-Spurs matchup.
-Pau Gasol made his Laker debut last night (24pts, 12rebs). He will help this team alot. Kobe was having to score around 35 a game just to keep LA around in the first 10 games of Bynum's absence. Pau comes in, Kobe only scores 6pts, and they win by 15? He'll help this team. The triangle moves fast and Pau is skilled enough to make it move. It was still the right move in trading him.
-Grizz lost to the Bucks minus Michael Redd. Mo Williams went off. Where's your D Lowry? You're getting traded in the off-season.
-Nolan Ryan will become the new president of the Texas Rangers. Maybe he'll find them some pitching....
-National Signing Day is today. I don't follow recruiting, but I know if you have top classes year in and year out then you're probably going to be good year in and year out.
Here's to Robert Dozier....

Super Bowl
Alright, I'm notorious for falling asleep during past Super Bowls (see Philly/NE, Pittsburgh/Seattle, Indy/Chicago, etc..). I stayed up for this one and it was the best Super Bowl I've ever seen (yes, better than St. Louis/Tennessee). Eli Manning silenced the haters and threw 2 TD's in the 4th quarter (Brady Who?), meanwhile Tom Brady couldn't shake Strahan and Osi all night. Until Eli Manning threw those 2 TD's, the vote for MVP should've gone to the Giants D-Line. I don't fault Brady though. He ran into the same problem Tony Romo did. You can't do much when you're running for your life all night. Props to the G-Men. I didn't expect it to happen.
Now for random thoughts on the game....
-Bill Belichick left the field before the clock hit :00. No big deal, but of course ESPN makes it a big deal. He and Coughlin shook hands and the game was over. If his defensive players don't care (and I'm sure they don't) then ESPN shouldn't care. Shut up Mark Schlereth.
-David Tyree's catch will be remembered like the "Music City Miracle." Yes, it was that big of a play.
-If people made a big deal about Jessica Simpson at a Cowboys game, then shouldn't they make a big deal about Jiselle (sp?) being at the Super Bowl. You never see her at Patriots games. Brady is 3-0 in Super Bowls, she shows up, and their unstoppable offense only puts up 14 points?
-Tom Petty is still the man. American Girl, I Won't Back Down, Free Fallin', and Running Down A Dream. That's a solid 4 song set. Nothing fancy and no pyrotechnics. Petty just got up there and rocked it. They need to get Led Zeppelin to play next year's halftime show.
-Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the best commentating duo. Yes, better than Michaels and Madden. I have no problem with Michaels, but Madden states the obvious and isn't critical enough (at least to me he isn't). Aikman calls it like he sees it and if he thinks you screwed up, he tells you so.
-Eli Manning's Super Bowl performance was far more impressive than Peyton's.
Other weekend thoughts....
-Pau Gasol is gone. Good. This team will not be able to sign a free agent this off-season with the current roster they have. They need to build through the draft this year and next year. After 2009's NBA Draft, then they can get someone in free agency. You hope that, by then, they will have built up enough promising talent that makes this place attractive to a FA. What you really hope is that you get a Beasley and he turns out to be a superstar so you don't have to go and spend all of you cap space on 1 guy. If you get your superstar in the draft that means he's outperforming his contract for at least 4 years and you can remain under the cap just by filling in pieces around him.
-Build the team around Mike Conley, not Rudy Gay. Conley doesn't have to score the most, but I feel good about us not turning it over when he has the ball. If Iavaroni truly wants to do the Phoenix style offense then he should think Conley is the guy. He won't be Steve Nash, but he could become just as good a passer as Nash. Put athletic guys around him and go....
-Mike Golic Jr. (son of ESPN's Mike Golic) is going to be on Mike and Mike In the Morning Wednesday to officially sign his letter of intent to play football at Notre Dame. I looked at the top 100 players according to Rivals.com and Golic Jr. isn't on there. You what is? about 7 other guys that are committed to Notre Dame. Why not get an actual good player on your show that's going to sign? I agree with Dana Jacobsen. F Notre Dame!
-Yes, National Signing Day is Wednesday. From what I've heard, Alabama and Notre Dame are on pace to have the top 2 classes. I know it doesn't matter what they're ranked until the players get on the field, but you show me a team that has consistent top 5-10 recruiting classes and I'll bet you that team is consistently good on the field (See USC and LSU the last few years).
-Tigers survived UTEP. DANGER GAME! That game will do them good as they get closer to tourney time. I think you know what happens when games are that close that late. Derrick Rose or CDR get the ball and go.
-Joey Dorsey got mad at some no name UTEP player because he was being physical. Joey, you're the man, but shut up. You'll get bumped a lot harder than that your first day of NBA Training Camp.
-Tiger Woods wins.....AGAIN!!!!!
-I watched Brock Lesnar's UFC debut. Mir was more experienced and that's why he won. Lesnar just came out swinging and Mir waited for the mistake. He saw it, ankle lock, Lesnar taps out.
-Dick Vitale is ready to come back. Damnit, I like Jay Bilas better.
The Greatest Catch Ever....

Pancakes Ye Know...
Weekend thoughts....
-Jason Collins for Stro? Who cares. One crappy player for another. The Grizz will offcially have 3 of the 5 worst players in the NBA if that deal goes through (Casey, Cardinal and Collins). Kwame Brown and Adonal Foyle are the 2 other worst players in the NBA.
-Pau Gasol trade to the Lakers that would include Kwame Brown. Is this possible? Yea, if you want expiring contracts for Pau then this is an easy one to do. Keep in mind Marc Gasol will be a Laker next season too. Then the Grizz would have 4 of the 5 worst players in the league.
-Suns lost at home to a Tony Parkerless Spurs team. Phoenix isn't going anywhere this year. Their run is over.
-Boston minus KG picked up a home win over the Mavs. Dallas' door to win it all is still open, but not for long. It could open back up if they get J-Kidd.
-Spurs are the 6th seed right now in the West. That will change. They will beat the Hornets in a series and be in the Finals. I'm looking at a Celtics-Spurs Final which, i'm sorry to say, will be just as boring as last years Finals. Nothing but 88-84 games.
-Kobe had the kind of triple double you don't want to have: 39pts, 10rebs, 11T0's. Sucks when you don't have Walton, Bynum, and Ariza out there. They will survive this and be a tough out in the playoffs.
-Tigers play UTEP on Saturday at Noon. Watch out! This is a Danger Game.
-Tyler Hansbrough had a solid game for Carolina last night vs. Boston College. I really want Memphis to play them in the Tournament just to see how long it takes before Psycho T and Dorsey get into it.
-Vanderbilt is the most overrated team in college basketball. They have beaten no one and lost to anyone that is relevant.
-Brittney Spears is still crazy
********UPDATE******
According to commercialappeal.com the Grizzlies have traded Pau Gasol to the LA Lakers for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittendon and first round picks in 2008 and 2010. Apparently the Grizz will also send a 2nd round pick to LA and the Grizz get G Aaron McKie and the draft rights to Marc Gasol. One Gasol for another.
Kwame has a 9 million dollar expiring contract. This will give the Grizz cap relief and you won't truly know who they traded Pau for until you find out who they use that money on. Elton Brand and Antawn Jamison are just a few of the guys on the market this summer.
The Grizz also just made the Lakers contenders for the next 5 years. Starting 5 will look like this when healthy:
PG Derek Fisher
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Lamar Odom
PF Pau Gasol

Walton, Ariza, Vujacic, Farmar, Vlad Rad all coming off the bench. That's a stacked starting 5. I know this too. Kobe won't tolerate Pau playing like a girl either.
-Jason Collins for Stro? Who cares. One crappy player for another. The Grizz will offcially have 3 of the 5 worst players in the NBA if that deal goes through (Casey, Cardinal and Collins). Kwame Brown and Adonal Foyle are the 2 other worst players in the NBA.
-Pau Gasol trade to the Lakers that would include Kwame Brown. Is this possible? Yea, if you want expiring contracts for Pau then this is an easy one to do. Keep in mind Marc Gasol will be a Laker next season too. Then the Grizz would have 4 of the 5 worst players in the league.
-Suns lost at home to a Tony Parkerless Spurs team. Phoenix isn't going anywhere this year. Their run is over.
-Boston minus KG picked up a home win over the Mavs. Dallas' door to win it all is still open, but not for long. It could open back up if they get J-Kidd.
-Spurs are the 6th seed right now in the West. That will change. They will beat the Hornets in a series and be in the Finals. I'm looking at a Celtics-Spurs Final which, i'm sorry to say, will be just as boring as last years Finals. Nothing but 88-84 games.
-Kobe had the kind of triple double you don't want to have: 39pts, 10rebs, 11T0's. Sucks when you don't have Walton, Bynum, and Ariza out there. They will survive this and be a tough out in the playoffs.
-Tigers play UTEP on Saturday at Noon. Watch out! This is a Danger Game.
-Tyler Hansbrough had a solid game for Carolina last night vs. Boston College. I really want Memphis to play them in the Tournament just to see how long it takes before Psycho T and Dorsey get into it.
-Vanderbilt is the most overrated team in college basketball. They have beaten no one and lost to anyone that is relevant.
-Brittney Spears is still crazy
********UPDATE******
According to commercialappeal.com the Grizzlies have traded Pau Gasol to the LA Lakers for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittendon and first round picks in 2008 and 2010. Apparently the Grizz will also send a 2nd round pick to LA and the Grizz get G Aaron McKie and the draft rights to Marc Gasol. One Gasol for another.
Kwame has a 9 million dollar expiring contract. This will give the Grizz cap relief and you won't truly know who they traded Pau for until you find out who they use that money on. Elton Brand and Antawn Jamison are just a few of the guys on the market this summer.
The Grizz also just made the Lakers contenders for the next 5 years. Starting 5 will look like this when healthy:
PG Derek Fisher
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Lamar Odom
PF Pau Gasol
C Andrew Bynum
