Big Ticketless
With kevin Garnett more than likely missing the playoffs, I think the Celtics are goin to be hard pressed to repeat or to even get back to the finals for that matter. KG is the heart and soul of that team and true enough they have The Truth Paul Pierce and the best jump shooter in the game Ray Allen but they wont be enough alone. Their defensive intensity is not the same their confidence is not the same the Boston swag is gone. I hope Doc can get them playing better because they have looked this way while playing at home, and based on last year's playoff team with a healthy KG and a very key role player James Posey they struggle on the road in the playoffs. In all honesty though who cares GO LAKERS!!!!
Aquaman Changes stroke
Arguably the greatest Olympian of all time is getting ready to start competing again after the 2008 Beijing games where he set the record for gold medals at one games by an Olympian with 8, but somethings a little different for him. Phelps said that since he has changed his goals and is starting to focus more on the shorter races he wanted to change his technique up. I always was taught that if it ain't broke don't fix it but I guess Mike didn't get the memo. Hopefully he's done swimming and bong water and ready to defend his crown again as the King of the Pool.
Let Vick Play
When does enough become enough the NFL's Commissioner Roger Goodell says the way for Michael Vick to get back on the field is through genuine remorse but I think he is very remorseful for what happened. Time in prison will make anyone sit back and re-evaluate their situation and let them reflect on what was wrong with or what is wrong with them your conscious eats at you. And i don't want to sound cruel but he was fighting dogs he didn't kill a person like numerous NFL players have Like Leonard Little, Dontae Stallworth, and don't forget about Pacman who ordered a hit on a security guard and know he didn't die but be is paralyzed from the neck down. Little and Pacman both got reinstated, and Stallworth is still battling his legal issues. So i understand he needs to truly be sorry but let the man go on with his life and earn a living.
Rose"s" for the League
The Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose was named the NBA's rookie of the year today after having a stellar freshman year of pro ball. Rose is only the third Bull to win the award along with great company Elton Brand and Michael Jordan. Right now Derrick is poised to take out the defending champs Boston in their opening round series, the two teams split the first two games in Boston after the rookie scored 36 in his first play-off game tying a NBA record st by Chris Paul he also dropped 11 dimes. In game two he didn't do as much but his team still only lost by 2 and that was because of Ray Allen great last second three with a hand all in his face. Boston barely got out alive in the first round last year and this year doesn't look any better for them maybe a little worse if you ask me. Congrats to the kid I hope him and his squad pull off the biggest upset of the playoffs.
Gator ridin "high"
With the up coming draft looming just days away new news has surfaced about one of the gems of the draft. The explosive Percy Harvin tested positive for marijuana at he NFL's scouting combine. Harvin who helped lead Florida to two national championships in his tenure at Florida was a more than likely lock for the first round may see his stock falling a bit after these results. I personally don't think it is going to hurt him that bad a lot of players have went through these same types of issues but the timing and red flags that it has thrown up is terrible for him. I still think he will be taken in the first two rounds and i think he will be a good NFL receiver.
Armored Tank
In my my opinion the Bengals made a big splash in free agency by acquiring Tank Johnson, from the Dallas Cowboys. with our defense making the strides that they made last year jumping from the bottom of the league in defensive rankings up to 12 was huge, considering that half of our starters missed considerable time this year. I know he didn't really do much in big D but they ran a 3-4 defense and that really doesn't suit his game. Now that he's back in a 4-3 scheme he can play his natural position and get back to his old form when he was with Chicago and arguably the best d tackle in the game. Hopefully all of his character issues are behind him because we definitely don't need those but I think he definitely going to help our team.

Tiger's Return
Tiger Woods returned to the PGA tour this week and the excitement has returned to pro golf. Tiger who was coming off ligament damage and a broken leg said he felt a little soreness but said that, that was expected after winning his first match tiger went down in the second round to a inferior opponent but after a lay-off like his it is understandable to be a little rusty. It's only a matter of time before the Tiger is back in rare form.
