Orlando Beats Boston |
|
A last second loss, on the road, to one of the best team in the east is no reason for Boston to panic. But it did serve as a reminder! They’re not young, or quick to react. And even with ‘K.G.’ back, terribly athletic. Then again, the freakiest athlete in the building did do that! Dwight Howard passing to nobody! “Oh-oh!” You know Magic coach Stan Van Gundy snapped when he saw that!

Tarkenton Rips Brett Favre Again |
|
There’s bitter, grumpy old men…and then there’s Fran Tarkenton. The NFL legend made it pretty clear during the season how he felt about Brett Favre playing for his old team. There’s not a whole lot of gray area, or room for interpretation in calling it “despicable.” But maybe after seeing him have an MVP caliber season and go to war in the NFC title game against Saints, Francis might have changed his tune. “Eeehhhhh!!”

McNabb: Psychic Says Stay with Eagles |
|
Big question in Philly, is Donovan McNabb coming or going? Is he still the guy there or could he be on his way to Minnesota if Brett Favre shuts it down? Well, you can stop wondering, he’s not going anywhere! And that’s not speculation…that’s 100% fact.

Warner Isn't Holding A Presser |
|
Still no official word from Kurt Warner as to whether or not he’s going to retire. But I don’t think he’d go to the trouble to gather family and friends for a Friday presser just to announce he’s returning for another year. Although I wish he would!

Gilbert Arenas Is Lucky |
|
Not only does Gilbert Arenas’ punishment fit the crime, he’s lucky it’s not even worse! The only thing more infuriating to David Stern than Arenas going “Tank Johnson” in the work place…was his treating it like a big joke a few nights later in Philly. That’s why he’s not saying or doing anything right now. Saying or doing the wrong thing, or threatening to appeal his suspension probably would have gotten him a full 82 games…instead of the 48 he’s currently looking at.

'2' Throws All His QB's Under Bus |
|
There has been a Terrell Owens sighting! I have to give to my man. He just endured one of the worst years of his entire career. His Buffalo Bills were terrible, he never got off, and with the window about to slam shut on his career, essentially wasted one of the last remaining productive years he had left as an athlete. But he handled it! He stayed down. Didn’t make any waves or create any distractions. Didn’t even run his Q.B. under the bus! He did and said all the right things….and it couldn’t have been easy. So big ups for that, but it couldn’t last forever. After all, all good things come to an end.

South Carolina Upsets Kentucky |
|
I can’t sit here and say I knew South Carolina would upset top ranked Kentucky. But, I can say I’m not surprised. Not after seeing the Gamecocks get their hearts ripped out by Florida. And not when you knew U-K had a bulls-eye on their back in the way of that number one ranking. And would get South Carolina’s best shot! And especially after five-foot-nine, fifth year senior Devan Downey called his shot saying “he’d be the best point on the floor” and not phenom John Wall.

Greg Oden's Bad Day |
|
Yesterday may have been a good day for the low life’s who like to forward emails with N.S.F.W. in the subject, but it was a very bad day for Portland big man Greg Oden. Maybe not his worst day as a Blazer, but certainly his most embarrassing after nude shots of him started bouncing around the internet.

Athletes Better Ballers Because Video Games |
|
Everyone is looking for any kind of edge they can get in the NFL. Guys will watch extra film, lift the extra set, throw-down for a hyperbaric chamber. Whatever it takes to get bigger, stronger, faster and recover more quickly. All of that, or they just spend their time preparing for the game by “gaming”.

J.R. Smith Getting "Served" |
|
The Denver Nuggets are in Houston tonight, and I’ll call my shot right now. Nugget two guard J.R. Smith is going to get served. Guaranteed! But not served like Trevor Ariza is going to cross him over and break him down. Nor is Chucky Hayes going to serve him by swatting his shot into the tenth row. No, I mean he’s going to get served with legal papers!

Tebow Is Looking To Prove |
|
Suddenly, the Senior Bowl feels like the Super Bowl. Message boards are buzzing, flashbulbs are popping and the game is sold out when you couldn’t give away ducats in recent years. And the reason for that?! One Timothy Richard Tebow is in the house.

‘Big Baby’ Drops A Self-Gloss |
|
One of the fundamental laws of the entire universe is: “you never, ever give yourself a nickname”. You cannot self-gloss! There’s nothing cheesier, nor more unacceptable. Never throwing back across the middle late, thinks that you never self gloss is common knowledge. So if you’re Boston Celtic forward Glen Davis, and you were just dinged 25-grr for cussing out a fan…and that was after missing 27 games earlier this season for getting into a fight off the court…you’re the last person who should be trying to ditch your “Big Baby” handle for “Uno-Uno” or “11”. “Bebe Grande” as “Uno-Uno”? To quote his head coach Doc Rivers, “oh lord, no comment.” Well, I have a comment, “Ehhhhhhhh!” This isn’t how this works, “Baby”.

The “King” vs. “Flash” |
|
It doesn’t happen very often, but a few times a year, you get two genuine, true blooded Alpha Dogs going at it in the “association”. And it happened last night in South Beach with the “King” crashing “Flash’s” house. And these two delivered. And by delivered I don’t mean they kept their distance or occasionally crossed paths. I mean they were into each other!

Bronson Arroyo Gets Acting Job |
|
Cincinnati Reds’ pitcher Bronson Arroyo has always been a man of many interests. A renaissance man of sorts! So it comes as no surprise that he’s been offered a role in an upcoming indie movie along with fellow MLB’er Eduardo Pérez. Even less surprising is discovering they only received the offer, because these legends turned it down first! Of course, they did.

Favre Made Bad Decision |
|
It was all setting up for the ‘Ol Gunslinger wasn’t it? The legend was about to grow even bigger, if that was even possible. The ‘Ol Silver Fox, Brett Favre, getting the living snot beat out of him, out there on one leg, in the most hostile environment anywhere, leading his team to the Super Bowl to keep the dream and his revenge tour alive.

Loss Was Not Favre’s Fault |
|
And no, I’m not looking to pile on the Ol’ Gunslinger. And this isn’t a “I told you so moment.” All of us who cracked on him for his waffling and rapped the Vikings for bringing him in, were still wrong. He did the right thing in coming back and they did the right thing in bringing him back.

A.P. Put Ball On Turf Too Much |
|
Then there’s Adrian Peterson. Has a running back ever gone for over 100 yards with 3 T.D.’s and played worse? Because right now, the only thing he does “all day” is put it on the rug.

Edwards: Doesn't Call The Jets Plays |
|
As great a story as they were, I’m not surprised the Jets went down. But I am surprised they went down the way they did! With that swagger-licious Dee, unable to get off the field when it absolutely had to! You figure they might lose because the stage got too big for rookie Mark Sanchez. Or maybe Braylon Edwards would drop one at the worst possible time. But that didn’t happen. Sanchez played lights out and Edwards caught a 80 yard T.D. pass. If that guy makes a play like that, you can’t help but think, it’s their day…they’re going to win! At least, they better win when they get a play like that from Edwards. But it didn’t happen, because they couldn’t do the two things that got them there: get off the field defensively and run the ball.

Cavs Beat Lakers |
|
It’s not so much that the ‘King’ and the Cavaliers did the Lakers again to finish off their season sweep. It’s how they did it. By bludgeoning them! And considering it was go time and Kobe Bryant was the only one ready to throw, you know he’s furious. “Uh-oh!”

Jets Selling AFC Champion Gear |
|
There are certain locks during the playoffs of any major sport. Some player will pop off and make a guarantee. A pair of hilarious mayors will make an equally hilarious bet over a big game. And a team’s merch’ department will jump the gun on selling championship gear for a championship they haven’t even won yet. And this time it’s the Jets who are hocking AFC Championship tees and hoodies on their official website!
