NBA MVP Pick
Since this has been the best MVP race in recent memory, and we should actually get a deserving winner (no offense Steve Nash), it's time to weigh in. Basically everyone's top 4 is the same in some order: Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul. I'm not going to deviate from that formu...

The final region!ROUND ONE(1) UCLA over (16) Miss. Valley St. - I think the Bruins should be able to take this one.(9) Texas A&M over (8) BYU - I like the Cougars, but the Aggies are playing well right now and are just a little more talented.(5) Drake over (12) Western Kentucky - I'm really excit...

Rock, Chalk, Championship
I'm speaking, of course, of the play on words that Jim Nantz has after the final buzzer sounds. Not a bad effort. He didn't really seem to have a lot to work with, as the Kansas Jayhawks is not something that lends itself very easily to a play on words.If Memphis had won, he probably would have had i...

Final Four Picks
I'm getting these up really late, but it's before gametime, so it's legal. I just wanted to be on record with my picks.First, I'll obviously take UCLA over Memphis. I like the Bruins to slow the game down, and effectively run it when there is something open. Memphis is not great offensively in the ha...

NCAA Bracket Predictions: Midwest Region
Moving on to the Midwest.ROUND ONE(1) Kansas over (16) Portland St. - The Jayhawks should dispatch of them pretty easily.(8) UNLV over (9) Kent St. - Kent St. is certainly a really good team, but I like UNLV.

The 8 games look to provide some very interesting matchups and contrasting styles, making it a pretty nice slate of games.North Carolina over Washington - You couldn't ask for a ...

College Football Power Rankings - 10/24
Once again, time for my top 10.1. LSU - They got quite a scare, but I'll put them at #1, just barely. Still really talented defensively, and they are loaded offensively. 2. Ohio St. - Like BC and Arizona St., they haven't really beaten anyone too much of note. Unlike those teams, they've looked more ...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Second Base
After ranking the first basemen a few days ago, it's time to move on to 2B!1. Chase Utley - It shouldn't be any surprise, but Utley is still the cream of the crop when it comes to 2B. He hit .332 last year, which is really good. But really, he does a little bit of everything. He missed 30 games, but ...

Fantasy Baseball Rankings: First Base
It's that time of year again! Here's my top 10 for 1B for Fantasy Baseball.1. Albert Pujols - The power numbers were way down, but he still edges out Prince for the top spot. But it is a bit worrisome that he hit 17 less HR last year than in 2006, and had only 103 RBI compared to 137 the year before....

Early All-Star Weekend Thoughts
It was a pretty outstanding All-Star Weekend so far, especially with such an incredible display by Dwight Howard in the Dunk Contest. Some random thoughts:First, from the Rookie Challenge:- Does Kevin Durant ever pass the ball? - Sean Williams has just awesome athleticism. Too bad he didn't have his ...

Orange Bowl Preview
In his BCS Preview my esteemed colleague remarked that the game doesn't excite him all that much. As a Kansas fan, I must disagree. The first BCS game for the Jayhawks should be quite a show.Kansas has one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has thrown fo...

Why did the Suns trade for Shaq?
Sorry, I'm a little late to the party with my thoughts on the deal, but this has been about the busiest week of my life.On the surface, this appears to be an almost senseless trade by the Phoenix Suns. They're one of the top contenders in the Western Conference, and yet they have traded away a guy th...

Adrian Peterson is the most explosive RB in the NFL
He may not be the best RB in the NFL yet, because he is not a great pass catcher or blocker... but I think that Adrian Peterson is already the most explosive RB in the NFL with the ball in his hands.He single-handedly won it for the Vikings today (with a little help from Ryan Longwell). 20 carries fo...
