Expect this to become a weekly tradition 'round these parts, where I just hit with some thoughts that don't deserve a full-on blog, and just run down a couple of points I'd like to make regarding each major sport.
NFL
-Bootgate? Are we that desperate for a story that Tom Brady with a slight limp is causing all the hubbub? Brady'll play, and he'll be fine.
-Lawrence Tynes is a lucky, lucky man. If Brett Favre had worked the magic instead of the pick he threw, Tynes would have been in the unemployment line the next day. Now he's practically a hero.
MLB
-If the Twins don't deal Santana soon, they'll find themselves in quite a pickle. The best prospects have already been pulled from all good offers, and if he has a mediocre 2008 and no one trades for him, he'll be lost to free agency, and the Twinkies won't get a thing.
-Expect the Royals and Rays (no more Devil) to show a bit more fight this year. Neither will win their division or make the play-offs, but I can see third place for both of them, with plus .500 records.
NBA
-Boston has become mortal really quick, there's no way they're touching that magical Bulls season. They'll be lucky to get within 10 wins. They'll still be the number one seed in the east though.
-Sacramento is suddenly potent when K-Mart, Bibby, and Artest all play. If they were in the East, they might be able to make a play-off run. Too bad they won't get close in the west.
NHL
-The All-Star game was a real treat this year. Eric Staal played a heck of a game.
-Midseason pick for the Stanley Cup? Red Wings, no question.
NCAAB
-Not much of anyone paying attention to that 17-1 Duke team that's ranked third in the country. Maybe they'll start turning heads if they can best the Tarheels next Wednesday in Chapel Hill.
-Pitt's injuries continue to kill it. I'm shocked this team is still clutching a top 25 spot.
That's it for this Monday chaps. I swear you'll get more details (and yes, a Super Bowl prediction) as the week progresses.
