Blockbuster

Baseball: It's far from official, but it's looking like the Phillies have won the Roy Halladay sweepstakes, although it's coming at a big price. Philadelphia would have to trade Cliff Lee to the Mariners as part of this three team trade...Also winning big is John Lackey who is reportedly signing with the Red Sox for $85 million...Boston is also close to signing outfielder Mike Cameron...Oh and the BoSox have offered Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman $15.5 million. This is a nice pre-Christmas shopping spree Theo, I hope you got your wife and kid a bunch of goodies as well...The Angels may have lost Chone Figgins and John Lackey, but they could end up with Hideki Matsui. Hey he was World Series MVP...The Cardinals are really trying to bring back Matt Holliday...The Brewers finalized their contract with Randy Wolf and also re-signed Craig Counsell...Guess who will be opening up the baseball season on my lovely birthday/Easter -- the Yankees and Red Sox. I would have so rathered the Braves, but what can you do?

Basketball: The Celtics are red hot after notching their 11th straight win, 110-105...The 76ers ended a 12 game lossing streak, dropping the Warriors, 117-101...Kevin Durant may have topped Carmelo Anthony is the points column, but it still wasn't enough for the Thunder to take out the Nuggets...Houston Rockets coach Rick Adelman is not thrilled with the Rockets "ridiculous schedule." I guess not thrilled would be putting it mildly.

College Basketball: It's starting to get very boring looking at the new polls and seeing Kansas and Texas still sitting at the top...UPENN coach Glen Miller has been given his walking papers. Jerome Allen will take over as interim head coach...Meanwhile South Carolina coach Darrin Horn was given a two year extension.

College Football: Jake Locker must really love college life because he's staying at Washington...Probably because unlike at USF, he doesn't get hit by his coach (Allegedly -- of course)...Kansas State kick returner Brandon Banks was arrested on charges of battery and unlawful possession of a stimulant early Sunday morning. Watch out Brandon, because the popo are on your tail!

Football: Do you want the bad news or the other bad news Cardinals fans? Well with the 24-9 loss to the Niners, Arizona was unable to clinch the NFC West...Oh and Larry Fitzgerald got injured. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer..Like any good coach and QB, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are defending Randy Moss...DeMarcus Ware could play on Saturday against the Saints...And Bengals QB Carson Palmer says his elbow is 101 percent...Raiders QB Bruce Gradkowski is iffy for Sunday's game, but instead of going to JaMarcus Russel, will Oakland turn to Charlie Frye?...Get excited Jaguars fans, because for the first time all season, their game will not be blacked out!

Hockey: The Thrashers bested the Rangers, 3-2 (SO). Well at least the Rangers got a point in Brandon Dubinsky's first game back from injury. Who am I kidding, this is getting to be very difficult to watch...The Sabres held off the Canadiens, 4-3 for their fourth straight victory...Just when you think the Islanders are improving they get their asses handed to them 7-1 style by the Panthers...Steve Sullivan scored a hat trick as the Predators beat the Blue Jackets, 5-3...The Red Wings stopped the Coyotes, 3-2 but lost Jonathan Ericsson in the process...After putting Andrew Ebbett on IR, the Wild have now lost four players to concussions.

They will not allow Yanina Wickmayer to play despite a court injunction that supsended her one-year ban for violating anti-doping rules.
