      Must-see TV

      March 3, 2008 /

      Things are heating up in both college and NBA hoops. Here are a few games to catch this week:

      Tonight (Monday)

      9 PM: Dallas @ Utah – NBATV
      It’s Deron vs. J-Kidd as two top teams jockey for position in the West.

      Tuesday

      7 PM: Toronto @ Orlando – NBATV
      Dwight Howard vs. Chris Bosh…it doesn’t get much better than this in the East.

      Wednesday

      7:30 PM: Detroit @ Boston – ?
      This Eastern Conference clash isn’t on national TV, but should be worth seeking out. Both teams play hard every game, and this one could affect seeding in the playoffs.

      9:00 PM: Phoenix @ Denver – ESPN
      Two of the league’s high-octane teams should provide an entertaining, high-scoring affair.

      Thursday

      11 PM: #7 Stanford @ #2 UCLA – ?
      Stanford could earn a share of the Pac-10 title with a win at UCLA. Check your local listings for this huge matchup, which (ponderously) isn’t on national television.

      Friday

      9:30 PM: Utah @ Phoenix – ?
      Believe it or not, Utah really pushes the ball, so this too should be an entertaining game.

      10:30 PM: San Antonio @ Denver – ESPN
      Guess who’s first in the West again. That’s right, the Spurs look to be on another title march.

      Saturday

      12 PM: #13 Louisville @ #10 Georgetown – CBS
      This contest will determine the Big East championship.

      9 PM: #1 North Carolina @ #5 Duke – ESPN
      This game could decide the ACC regular season champ and the #1 seed in the East.

      Free Agency Update: Briggs stays with Bears, Browns bag Rogers

      March 1, 2008 /

      – A year after saying he’d played his last down in Chicago, LB Lance Briggs re-upped with Da Bears for six-years and $36 million.

      – After giving up their first rounder last year for QB Brady Quinn and their second rounder just a day ago for DL Corey Williams, Cleveland parted with its third round pick (and CB Leigh Bodden) for DT Shaun Rogers, formerly of Detroit. Rogers is a fantastic player, but he’s also been hammered about his work ethic.

      – The Browns also reached an agreement with WR Donte Stallworth. Even though he’s a major injury risk, Stallworth adds another weapon to a Cleveland arsenal that already features Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow Jr.

      – The Vikings added WR Benard Berrian (Bears). Berrian has always been an intriguing player and one that could blow up at any time. I don’t know if he’s worth $42 million, but that’s the way the market is right now.

      – The Bills landed DT Marcus Stroud (Jaguars) for a third and fifth round pick. Stroud will give the Bills’ run defense a definite boost.

      – The Dolphins and DE Jason Taylor have decided to part ways. Miami will now seek a trade for the 33-year-old end.

      – The Jets agreed to terms with G Alan Faneca, inking him to a five-year, $40 million contract.
