If you had nothing to do last night and took my advice to watch some college basketball you aren't waking up disapointed. I told you to check out 3 games:
1) Virginia Tech upsetting top ranked and undefeated Wake Forest
2) #3 UCONN got all it could handle but survived against #21 Villanova
3) #7 Michigan State was upset on their home court against Northwestern. That hasn't happend since I've been alive.
Now a little about Steelers Wide Receiver Hines Ward. This guy is tuff, has brass and a great winning attitude. However, with a sprained knee he insists he will play in the Super Bowl. I applaud the effort but Ward should think long term. A sprained knee is serious and can get worse, plus everything in the NFL these days boils down to a one year contract. I would hate to see a player as good and classy as Ward to suffer a career ending injury in a Super Bowl where quite frankly his team can win without him.
This story broke yesterday but I have to give credit to the Detroit Pistons. In their first game since announcing Rip Hamilton will be coming off the bench (a guy who led Detroit to a Championship and six straight East Finals apperances). The team put adversity aside and smacked Toronto by 20. I don't agree with the decision to put Iverson ahead of Hamilton but I have to admire the way the team handled it by playing the game and crushing Toronto.
Im gone all day Thursday so lets get to the picks....I'm 7/10 since the blog started and 3 points away from a 7-1-2 record. 2 NBA games on the schedule, so lets pick them both.
@Orlando -4 1/2 vs. Boston....Right now the Magic are the best team in the league and they will prove that tonight.
Washington + 15 1/2 @ L.A. Lakers-Kobe is banged up and without Bynum's 42 point performance the Lake-Show would have lost to the Clippers last night. L.A. wins the game but no way they cover this.
Talk to you later tonight or Friday.
