- The NFL officially have locked out their players and law suits are pending and America weeps. The NFL lockout has been the talk of the sports world since the end of the Super Bowl and now that it's underway, we are going to see a lot of negotiating through the media and a lot of finger pointing, if we haven't already. Both sides are going to be quick to say how it's not their fault, but honestly it doesn't matter whose fault this is, all that matters now is if this holds up, then we won't have football and there will be enough blame to go around for that.
- UConn completed one of the most impressive runs through the tournament ever by winning the Big East Championship in New York and I must say that Kemba walker after taking a cat nap through the middle of the season is back now and ready to ball and the only thing I wish could have happened with the seeding of the tournament is the pairing of BYU and UConn in the same region, because Jimmer vs. Kemba would've been the ratings beast for CBS or TBS or TNT or whatever.
- The Sixers had a very interesting two day stretch of basketball this weekend. They went out and beat the Boston Celtics in what may have been their most impressive win of the season and then laid the biggest egg they've laid this season by getting obliterated by the Milwaukee Bucks of all teams on Saturday night. I can understand that tired legs argument and sometimes you have off nights, but don't lose by 30. That aside, I'm sure coach Collins is preaching now as much as ever their one game at a time mentality. This team hasn't lost two in a row since January and the Sixers have a down on their luck Jazz team coming up, now is not the time to get complacent for the Sixers.- The WVU Mountaineers managed to get a five seed in the tournament, I would imagine on the back of their severely difficult schedule and the way the finished the regular season, but they weren't given much favors in the first round having to wait for their opponent to determined following the play of the First Four. WVU can't get caught looking past their potential second round matchup with Clemson towards a rematch with Kentucky or else they could become the first team to lose to a First Four team, which would draw this season to a head scratching conclusion.
