Reflections...On the Week that Was

Hello again! I hope everyone enjoyed this weekend's Super Bowl festivities! Congrats to the Steelers on the win. Also want to congratulate the Cardinals for their run to the Super Bowl! Anyway, there's a ton to talk about so let's dive in...

First off, last Thursday there were some big game between Orlando & Cleveland...and also San Antonio and Phoenix. Orlando and San Antonio ended routing Cleveland and Phoenix so the games weren't as exciting as I had expected but hey, we can't always get game-winning shot in the 3rd OT.

Quick comment, what's up with Phoenix? They have the personel but for some reason they're VERY inconsistent. I need them to start playing like they truly feel they're contenders or just retire already! Shaq, Steve, and Grant can't win a championship by themselves!!!

Let me stay focused...

Bad news for Laker fans today, Bynum tore his MCL this weekend after Kobe crashed into him driving the lane. Feel bad for the guy. He worked so hard to come back from a knee injury last season and now here he is looking at another possible early bow out before the playoffs. It will be interesting to see if LA can hold onto their lead in the west and make a long run in the playoffs.

In College basketball news, what happened to the Georgetown Hoyas? They went from one of the best teams in the Big East last season to one of the weaker. They are definitely in a funk and hopefully Coach Thompson III can pull them out of it. He might need to call upon some of his father's old tactics.

Also, Uconn is reigning supreme!! I believe the last time both the Men's & Women's basketball teams were ranked #1 in the country at the same time, they both won National Championships. Right now, it's hard to see anyone beating the Lady Huskies but maybe someone can stop the Men!?

Side note:
Anyone else get chills when Santonio Holmes caught the game-winning touchdown for the Steelers on sunday? It reminded a lot of "The Catch" (pass from Montana to Clark to put the 49ers in Super Bowl XVI)...

In my next installment, we'll be talking about WNBA free-agency. Could Tina Thompson really be signing with LA? If so, will LA be a shoo in for the championship this summer? Talk to y'all later!
