I think I have Tom Coughlin face, thank you old man winter!

Baseball: The Mets are emerging as a big bidder for Jason Bay. Why this isn't the Braves when they apparently had $7 million to spend of Billy Wagner, I don't know...The Yankees and Johnny Damon are talking...The Astros continue their busy offseason by signing Pedro Feliz to a one year, $4.5 million contract...The Pirates gave Bobby Crosby a one year, $1 million contract. Wow, even $1 million couldn't get me in a Pirates uniform...The Twins traded Boof Bonser to the Red Sox for a player to be named later...The City of Oakland unveiled three possible sites for the new A's Stadium.



Basketball: The Celtics streak is up to nine after edging the Wizards, 104-102...Meanwhile the Magic is gone for Orlando who fell to Utah, 120-111...The Wizards will wear a patch to honor their late owner Abe Pollin...The Pistons topped the Nuggets, 101-99 despite Carmelo Anthony's 40 point performance...Robin Lopez is very -- ah -- passionate about basketball...Ever wonder why people don't really trust the fans to vote for important things? Well take for example the NBA All-Star voting which could send the injured Tracy McGrady to the Western Conference's starting line-up. Seriously people he hasn't even played a game yet. This isn't a lifetime acheivement award!

College Basketball: Syracuse remains undefeated after downing Florida, 85-73...Draymond Green had a career high 19 points as Michigan State hammered Oakland, 88-57...The NCAA is discussing expanding the Tournament past the current 65 teams. I think 65 is just fine. Remember, not everyone deserves to make the tourny!

College Football: Notre Dame has a new head coach and his name is Brian Kelly...Lane Kiffin is claiming Tennessee didn't do anything wrong...Colt McCoy has racked up the Awards, but is a Heisman in his future?


Football: It's getting really bad for the Steelers who fell to the Browns (yeah that Browns team), 13-7. Cleveland picked up their first rushing touchdown of the season and it only took them 14 weeks to do it!...Patriots linebacker Adalius Thomas was not happy about being sent home early on Wednesday...Tom Brady is falling apart at the seems. If it's not his finger, it's now his rib...Vince Young had to ice his knee. What is this world coming to?...Wilhelmina modeling agency has signed Terrell Owens. Well at least he has something to fall back on as his career winds down...A woman is suing Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs for $70 million claiming he fathered her child and also abused her. Who has two thumbs and is looking for a payday? Candace Williams! (Assuming she has two thumbs)

Hockey: Mark Recchi scored twice in the final three minutes to help the Bruins hold off the Maple Leafs, 5-2...Pascal Dupuis' third period goal handed the Penguins a 3-2 win over the Canadiens...Justin Williams' goal in the eighth round of the shootout allowed the Kings to end the Coyotes five game win streak, 3-2 (SO)...The Senators blanked the Flyers, 2-0...Daniel Sedin outscored the Thrashers all by himself with his three goals in the Canucks' 4-2 victory...Wings forward Dan Cleary will miss a month with a separated shoulder...Lightning forwards Steven Stamkos and Ryan Malone are listed as day-to-day...The Rangers have sent Matt Gilroy to the minors. A little suprised about this move. Although it is nice to hear that Brandon Dubinsky is skating even if a return date is not set. When you lose five out of your last six, you need to look for the silver lining!

Best of the Rest: Dinara Safina has withdrawn from next month's Brisbane International...Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario has been ordered to pay 3.5 million euros in unpaid income tax...Is Real Madrid star Raul headed to the MLS?

Check this Out: Jenny Sanford, the wife of disgraced South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has filed for divorce. What took you so long?
