Sarah Spain has a video describing her Super Bowl ticket experience. She scored 4 Super Bowl tickets in about 48 hours. Pretty amazing story. So much for their Super Bowl predictions.

Duke lost their 3rd in a row to Carolina. How long until the Blue Devils fall out of the top 25? They are now 6th in the ACC, yet ranked higher than 4 teams that are ahead of them. Could Boston College be the NCAA version of the Philadelphia Eagles, losing Sean Williams, but continuing to win?
Â
The Celtics have now lost 16 straight games. Why? Name 5 Celtics other than Paul Pierce. I can name 16 Celtic legends: Red Auerbach, Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, JoJo White, John Havlicek, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson, Sam Jones, K.C. Jones, Reggie Lewis, Dave Cowens,  Tom Heinsohn, Don Nelson, Bill Sharmon. Seriously disturbing that a team with this much tradition is THAT bad.
Â
What’s up with the Nuggets? They’ve got both their stars now, but after losing again tonight, they are 2-4 with AI and Anthony on the floor. Now Marcus Camby is hurt. (big surprise there huh?) In all seriousness, this team better get it together and start winning fast or this whole “answer” experiment is gonna leave them asking a lot of questions.
Â
Don’t look now, but the Heat have won 5 in a row. Yes, this coincides with the return of the Diesel, but don’t overlook the contributions of Jason Kapono. His minutes, points per game, and shooting percentage have all increased during each month of the season, and he is averaging almost 19 points per game in 4 February games, while burning it up from 3 point land. I’d say it’s about time for Pat Riley to return so this team can have someone to credit for this turn around. Kapono doesn’t do much other than score, but he will be a HUGE asset to the Heat come playoff time as another scoring option. Go ahead…double Shaq in the post.

The Wizards are in big trouble without Antawn Jamison. Speaking of the Wizards have you seen Gilbert Arenas have a shooting battle with DeShawn Stevenson? Arenas shoots one handed from the college 3 point line…and hits 73 of 100, while Stevenson shoots normally from NBA range. Apparantly, the two bet $20,000 on the shootout. The best part of the video (besides the amazing shooting) is watching Agent Zero’s attempts at distracting Stevenson, especially towards the end. The video is long….but you will see it is well worth the watch.

Today was National College Signing Day. I know you’ll be surprised, but USC and Florida pulled in the best classes. The rich get richer.

Evidently, John Amaechi is gay. Much like the writer of this article, I’m just tired of hearing about gay people. I don’t care if you are gay. It’s not something I need to know. If I do know, I won’t hold it against you. I’m sure a gay person can dunk a basketball just as well as I can (not that I can, but you get the idea).
