Couch Potato Alert

The NBA season winds down this week, and while the playoff teams are set, the matchups are not. For example, you can expect the Bucks to put forth a maximum effort against the Pistons as a win tonight makes it less likely that they’ll be facing Detroit in the first round. Unfortunately, TNT doesn’t have any games until the playoffs and ESPN’s doubleheader on Wednesday features two pretty meaningless games. (All times ET.)

Mon, 8pm: Detroit @ Milwaukee – local

Gretzky’s wife implicated in gambling ring

Janet Jones, wife of Wayne Gretzy, has been implicated in a gambling ring financed by former Philadelphia Flyers star and current Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet.

Along with Jones, the Kings’ Jeremy Roenick and at least one Hollywood star were said to have placed wagers with the operation.

I have fond memories of being twelve years old and watching Janet Jones in the 1986 gymnastics movie/Mitch Gaylord vehicle, “American Anthem.” The girl could really fill out a unitard.

Bullz-Eye Year in Sports

A bunch of us decided to put our heads together on the year in sports and have some fun, in spite of all of the dark days, with what the world of sports has taught us, what we already knew, and what we have yet to learn. You can find the link here:

Enjoy, and let us know if we missed anything.
