so nice I almost watched it twice

Baseball: The news is getting worse for Alex Rodriguez. A torn labrum on top of the cyst in hip my force him to miss four months...But there was some good news for Yankee fans, Mariano Rivera threw off a mound for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery...Rockies set-up Man Taylor Buchholz will miss a month with a sprained ligament in his throwing elbow...The Cardinals and Dennys Reyes have agreed to a two year, $3 million contract...The Giants have released veteran outfielder Dave Roberts...The WBC will probably be Moises Alou's swan song...Tommy Lasorda really wants the US to win the WBC...Sourth Korea's Lee Jin-young's grand slam helped the team crush Taiwan, 9-0.

Basketball: Carmelo Anthony sunk 38 points as the Nuggets took out the Blazers, 106-90...The Hornets blasted the Mavs, 104-88. I bet Mark Cuban has some ranting to do...Allen Iverson is willing to come off the bench if it will help the Pistons.

College Basketball: Villanova pounced on Providence, 97-80...Penn State's Taylor Battle sunk Illinois, 64-63, with a last second jump shot...Xavier earned its third straight Atlantic 10 title with its 76-59 victory over Dayton...SEC commissioner Mike Slive got a three year extension.

Football: The Broncos signed QB Chris Simms as a back-up to Jay Culter...Marshawn Lynch only got community service and probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge. Watch out Marshawn, because the popo are on your tail!

Hockey: The Rangers got a goal and an assist from Nikolai Zherdev and Chris Drury in their 4-2 victory over the Islanders. Nik Antropov registered an assist in his first game with the Blueshirts...The Flames burned the Flyers, 5-1...The Penguins broke out in the third period scoring three goals on their way to a 4-1 win over the Panthers...Alexander Ovechkin is listed as day-to-day with a heel injury that kept him out of the Capitals 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs...Lightning prospect Steve Downie will miss 20 games for slashing an official. Nice move moron!

Nascar: Former Nascar driver Dean Combs was arrested for having moonshine or as the law has called it "making non tax paid liquor." Talk about returning to your roots!

Best of the Rest: Alabama admitted it helped its students get free textbooks. Oh the horror, helping athletes better their education by getting them free textbooks. Lock them up and throw away the key!

Check this out: Now this is brillant. A man was arrested at Barcelona's aiport wearing a cast made of cocaine. The 66 year old Chilean man did actually have a fracture of two bones below his knees, but it is suspected that the injury was done just so he could wear the cocaine cast. That is way better than the clown made of cocaine in the movie Traffic. Click here for the details.
