Michael Beasley may have had a double-double against Colorado last night, but it was seniorClent Stewart who stole the show. Check out this pregame. A night to remember.

Ohio State took a huge step towards making the NCAA field with their 80-77 win over Purdue last night. After losing to Minnesota on the road over the weekend they may need three more wins to get in. Fortunately, they have one more shot against Michigan State at home. A win puts them at 10-8 in the Big Ten and in need of at least a first round tournament win.
Thad Matta has done an excellent job with a young team that lacks a true leader. That’s why I think they may miss Mike Conley more than Greg Oden.
Michael Beasley just keeps rolling along. He put up another double-double last night and almost had it at halftime (20-7). He needs just four more to break the record held by David Robinson when he was at Navy. And what amazes me most is that there are some columnists who say he is not the player of the year. They want to vote for Tyler Hansborough. Please!! Take Hansborough off North Carolina and they are still a tourney team. Take Beasley away from the Wildcats and they are barely sniffing the NIT.
Media people can’t hold it against Beasley that he is only a freshman and that he plays at a school with little recent basketball success. Come to your senses people…
Ryan Wilson of AOL FANHOUSE is glad Brett Favre is retiring. Although for people who are upset, apparently Wilson has the inside scoop of where you can pay your respects to Lord Favre.
After fake-retiring for the last three off-seasons, Brett Favre has finally gone and done it. Thank God. Now we can all get on with our lives.
He’s undoubtedly a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and if Peter King were running things, Favre would be inducted in a ceremony later today. (King has scheduled a vigil for dusk outside of a hastily constructed “Shrine to Brett” in the Lambeau Field parking lot. Lovefest starts promptly at 5 p.m.)
I don’t care who you are – that’s funny. Although you can just as easily replace the name “Peter King” with “John Madden” and the joke would still go off without a hitch.
There’s an interesting piece by Jeff Schultz of the AJC about Warrick Dunn (who was released by Atlanta Monday) and how he deserves better than the Falcons.
The Falcons let Dunn go Monday. The current of the franchise says that was the right thing to. They have a new general manager, new coach and a new offense, which will play more to the power-running strengths of Michael Turner.
But bottom line: the man deserves a better career exit than this. Sports are littered with great athletes who never won championships. The NFL has its share: Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Dick Butkus, et. al. But nobody of Dunn’s stature deserved to be subjected to the goofiness that was the Falcons the last few seasons.
I completely agree with Schultz and I think Dunn is one of the greatest humanitarians the NFL has ever seen. He deserves a ring and deserves to go out a winner. With that said, the NFL is unfortunately a business first. He doesn’t fit the Falcons’ offensive scheme anymore and they needed to get more production out of their backfield.
Michael Turner was signed to replace Warrick Dunn on Sunday. In 2002, Warrick Dunn was signed to replace Jamal Anderson. It’s the circle of life in the NFL and it’s unfortunate it caught up to a great guy and solid player like Dunn.
According to sources from Fox Sports both Barry Hinson of Missouri State and Mike LaPlante of Jacksonville State will be released at the end of the season. LaPlante in his eigth year makes sense. He has failed to muster consistent winning seasons.
Hinson on the other hand has the highest winning percentage in the league in his tenure behind S. Illinois and Crieghton. He graduates players and wins games, but not enough in this day and age. The last two years he was robbed by the committee of an at-large bid even though his rpi was 22 and 31 respectively. RPI only counts when it helps a BCS school! The lack of a tournament appearance has made this coach expendable.
I have always said I love the profession, but I hate the business. Doing it the right way and winning isn’t always enough.
