There are several good matchups in the NFL this weekend, highlighted by the Cowboys/Saints tilt (the BE Game of the Week) brought to us by flex scheduling. That begs the question – why doesn’t the NBA adopt flex scheduling? I’d much rather see the Clippers/Spurs game than the Wizards/Sixers tonight.
If you need a college football fix, the Division I semifinals are today and tomorrow on ESPN2 and ESPN, respectively. Yeah, they actually have a playoff system in Division I football. Pretty weird, eh?
In college hoops, there are three Top 25 matchups, but the biggest game features #6 Texas A&M against #1 UCLA in the John Wooden Classic in Anaheim, CA. Unbelievably, the other game of the Classic (USC/George Washington) will be broadcast in HD, but the UCLA/A&M game will not. Get your act together, CBS!
