Yesterday was Valentine's eve breakups day around here, so in honor of all the broken hearts we've suffered because of sports: 

• Don Nelson and Chris Webber: When a perfect match fails – When not even a mutual love of the green stuff can keep you together. 
• A promise left unfilled, Vince Carter and the Raptors – Should have won a title in Toronto. 
• Falling out of love with the NFL – The shield is pretty ready to take our love for granted, isn't it?
• How the Knicks stupidly broke up with Patrick Ewing – You don't know what you have until it's gone. 
• The 25 worst sports breakups – Our burn book of pain. 

And aside of sports, A Tribe Called Quest's Grammy performance reminded us of how much "The Low End Theory" changed music and we should be happy for their long career.
