All They Do Is Win, Win, Win..

The ladies of the Baylor Bears of Baylor University won the Women's 2012 NCAA Tournament in Denver last night. The first team in women's college basketball to ever go 40-0.

Despite the fact, Skylar Diggins of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish had a good game she couldn't hold the team by herself. The usual leading scorer in the tournament Natalie Novosel didn't show up. She missed all of the 11 shots she took last night. Which could have ultimately been the reason her team lost 61-80.

There were many tears falling from people's faces in the arena. Surprisingly most of them coming from the Baylor ladies.

Head coach Kim Mokley stated "There were many tears on that bench, but they were tears of joy."

With emotions flying all around, Mokley left the ladies with heartfelt words.

"I just hugged 'em and told 'em, 'I'm so happy for you guys. Thank you for letting me coach you. Thank you for letting me challenge you"

Congratulations ladies!

Nike makes new NFL jersies

The NFL has recently allowed Nike to create new uniforms for teams. This new measure could create new dynamics within the NFL.

The first dynamic is it could allow teams to create more buzz for themselves in terms of pure creativity visual wise, this would apply especially to the teams who are at the botom of the league.

The second dynamic is it could lead to the NFL becoming more of a unique experience. Just imagine every week seeing new uniforms and every year after that teams possibly changing their uniforms. Think of the headlines in the immediate future as teams would try and hide until the last minute to display their uniforms. it could bring a new experience to opening day as fans would anticpate the entrance of the players.

Injury Plagued Knicks

Let’s face it,the Knicks have had a crazy season, filled with ups and downs, and currently a mixture of both. Under Woodson, they’ve performed extremely well, and some even question whether or not they performed poorly to just get D’antoni to leave, which is questionable. But the change in overall team morale and team work can be seen by anyone. Even with tonight’s loss, the Knicks have been great lately. But can they keep doing it? Amare is expecting to be out for at least 2-4 weeks with a bulging disc in his back(ouch),and Lin underwent knee surgery yesterday and will be out for the season.

Even though Carmelo is playing, he agitated groin again, which he now admits is strained. The Knicks are .500 on the season and need to keep playing the way they have. But will ‘Melo be able to put the team on his back? Or fall under pressure? We got a glimpse of what the team is like tonight, up against a decent team, and Melo stepped up to the challenge with 39pts. I just hope that all of the hard work and hardships the Knicks have been through this season don’t go to a waste. I think they can make a decent run in the playoffs, considering if they are able to hold on to that 8^th place spot!

Jimenez Out for 5 Games

With the baseball season just a few days away, every baseball fan is looking forward to the start of a new season to see how their teams improved from last year.

The Cleveland Indians squared off against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday in a regular spring training game, however it was far from normal. Ubaldo Jimenez was traded to the Indians last season from the Rockies and it left a sour taste in Jimenez's mouth. He was very upset over the deal because he has pitched well for the Rockies for several years.

Jimenez struggled early last season on the Rockies and they pulled the trigger on the trade with the Indians. When Troy Tulowitzki came up for the Rockies on Sunday, Jimenez struck him with a pitch to the elbow.

After Tulo was hit by the pitch a few words were exchanged and Jimenez rushed off the mound and met Tulowitzki to speak his mind. The benches were cleared but no punches were thrown.

Jimenez was suspended for five games after the incident because officials believed the hit on Tulowitzki was intentional. The Indians planned on using Jimenez as their second day starter, but now he will have to remain out of the lineup for five games. This is a big loss for the Indians even though it is only for the first five games of the season.

Jim Tracy, general manager of the Rockies, said that this was one of the worst things he has ever seen in all his years in the league, referring to the hit on his star short stop.

Being an Indians fan I disagree completely with the ruling and I am glad that Jimenez and the Indians are appealing the suspension. Before Tulowitzki came to bat, Jimenez walked a batter on four straight balls and finished the game with five walks. All spring training Jimenez has had trouble locating his pitches and the control just is not there.

Players get hit with pitches all the time, but the fact that Jimenez is still upset over being traded sparked some turmoil in this situation. It is ridiculous how they can rule him out for five games on an accident. Numerous people keep saying he threw at Tulowitzki intentionally, but the fact of the matter is, it was just a pitch that got away from him.

The Indians started off last season red hot with the best record in the league for a while. Everything was clicking for the Tribe until late in the season when the Detroit Tigers went on a hot streak and passed the Indians to take the AL Central. I personally feel that the decision to suspend Jimenez is uncalled for for numerous reasons. But it's only the beginning of the season, hopefully it wont affect the attitude of the rest of the team as the season progresses.

Rock Chalk or Big Blue?

The biggest stage for a collegiate basketball player takes place tomorrow night. The Kansas Jayhawks and the Kentucky Wildcats. 40 minutes to decide this years best college basketball team in the middle of the "Big Easy." When you hear Kansas and Kentucky you think of a rich program that could drown you with its history. But when I hear Kansas-Kentucky, the first thing that comes to my mind is , storylines galore.

John Calipari-Bill Self Part 2.

2008 was the last time these two coaches had a team in the National Championship game. Calipari was coaching Memphis, and Self still with Kansas. Calipari's Tigers lead by 9 with two minutes remaining, only to cough it all away after struggling from the free-throw line, and ultimately leading to a Mario Chalmers game-winning three-pointer.

Thomas Robinson of Kansas.

In late December, Robinson lost his beloved grandmother. In early January he lost his grandfather. Five days after that, Robinson lost his mother at the age of 43 from a hear-attack and ever since, Robinson has been raising his 7-year-old sister. A lot to handle for a college kid trying to perform at the highest-level for his team. His Kansas teammates have rallied around him, and as hard as Robinson is playing for a championship for his school, his teammates are trying hard to win this for him.

Calipari's one-and-done crew.

That is what I call every team Calipari throws out there before every season. From Derrick Rose, to Tyreke Evans, to John Wall, Brandon Knight, Demarcus Cousins, so on and so on, Calipari compiles unbelievable talent, but eventually these kids leave for the NBA after one season. With Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Marquis Teague, Kentucky will have 3 freshman in their starting line-up, as well as potentially playing their last game in Kentucky blue.

Tim Tebow is Sanchez's Fault

Marshall Faulk commented on Tim Tebow being brought to the Jets, and his assertion that it is Sanchez's own fault is something that I agree with.

Although I still don't understand why they signed him to a new contract if his job will be potentially up for grabs, the reason they brought in Sanchez was to give him the push he needs.

Either he'll be pushed to a new level of play where he excels and becomes the quarterback that they want him to be, or he'll be pushed out the door. The problem is that no one is sure just how much better Tebow is than Sanchez, but that is not a problem right now.

If Sanhcez had played last year the way a starting quarterback was supposed to play, then they would have had no reason to bring in Tebow. But that is not what happened, and Sanchez has no one but himself to blame!

Move over Glen Davis,Andrew Bynum might be the new big baby

As things are turning sour in LA quickly, Bynum is rebelling even more. Lakers center Andrew Bynum is yet again in the news for throwing what seemed to be a tantrum. I think we can all remember last year when he got rejected, took off his short, and stormed off court. That's something that will forever be imprinted in our minds when we think of him. But his crazy antics haven't stopped. Just this season he had another questionable ejection in a game. After being ejected he stormed off court, but this time he gave high fives to everyone sitting in the front row. Then just last night he made some questionable shot attempts that landed him on bench. It was then noticed that his demeanor changed and he wasn't seen in team huddle's after that. Everyone know's that Bynum could be a great asset to a team with his talent, but is it worth all the immature baggage that comes along with it? I think it is safe to call him Big Baby Bynum.
