Not much to report:
NFL- Draft buzz is wearing off, but fantasy football buzz is getting ready to begin, UDFA's are getting signed, most notably Jared Zabransky and Darius Walker, and I am personally surprised that Dan Mozes the OL from West Virginia was undrafted. Multiple "draft experts" claimed he would be a late round steal, which goes to show that experts do not get access into war rooms and do not know all that teams are thinking during the draft.
MLB- The whole Torre getting fired thing is getting old. Here are the facts. Is he the same manager he was during the golden years, (96-01) not at all. I personally believe since the Yankees blew the 3-0 series tot eh Sawx, Torre has never been the same. He seems like he is out to prove to people he can still do his job when no one ever questioned him. It was why the media made such a big deal of the Boston massacre last year, but in honesty Torre has lost a step. Just this april, Torre made 97 pitching changes, the second most in the history of April. He does have an injury-depleted roster, but he still has a lot more talent than a 9-14 team. He needs to show more faith in players and not yank them early in the season and devestate their confidence. In any event when they get healthyt hey will challeng the Sawx, but it is going to be hard to top Boston this year because they have the best top three in the rotation of anyone in baseball.
NBA- Dirk Nowitzki had a great regular season but he has looked gawd awful during the post-season and has played like anything but an MVP. I personally believe the MVP award should take into account what you do into the post-season. It is irrelevant to me who does the best to get into the playoffs. Isn't the mantra "anybody can win in the regular season, it is who can get it done in the playoffs." If that were the case Steve Nash would have his third straight MVP awards to stand among the likes of Russell and Bird. Interesting to note that Jordan, Magic, Wilt, Kareem have never won more than two in a row.
NHL- Devils are on their way down, when Emery shutsout Brodeur, we know their time is over. Sharks Rangers was my pre-season Stanley Cup predictions with the Sharks winning, and after last night I realize how likely that could be. With Cheech an Thornton they are going to be a tough out.
