March Madness resumes tonight with 4 games and I think Duke/Villanova will be the most intriguing matchup of the evening.  Other than that, none of the games really scream out at me.  My picks?  Oh, they’re so chalky.  UConn, Pittsburgh, Memphis, Duke.

Off-court stories you will hear all weekend:
•    UConn recruiting violations
•    Billy Gillispie’s job security vs. hiring John Calipari or Billy Donovan

Terrell Owens apparently doesn’t think he needs to meet his new coaching staff and teammates until they tell him he absolutely has to.  He has informed the Bills that he will not be attending the team’s voluntary workouts.  I can’t totally blame the man—I mean damn, nobody can ever say Owens is ever out of shape AND he says he will working out with her personal training instead.  No problems there.  My problem with all of this is that he is joining a new team.  A new staff.  A new quarterback.  Shouldn’t he at least check out how they do things before totally writing it off?

The Senate Judiciary Committee is taking a look at BCS.  They will be running this through the subcommittee on antitrust, competition policy and consumer rights and will be headed up by leading Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.  It actually sounds like something will change as a result of this, and that makes all happy inside BUT does the Senate really need to be concerned this much about the BCS at this time?

It looks like Tampa Bay Rays uber-prospect David Price will start the year in the minors.  The way they handled Evan Longoria last year (AL ROY) leads me to not doubt the organization until they give me reason to do so.  I think TB has some really smart people in the front office and Price will be this year’s AL ROY.

NBA: Yo, watch out for dem Magic dem.  They beat the Celtics last night, which also put them in the 2-spot in the East, while bumping the C’s down to the 3.  If Orlando can hold on to that spot, they will beat (BEAT, I tell you) Boston in the 2nd round of the playoffs.  Howard: Double-double after 1 quarter; finished with 24-21.

Cavs win franchise-record 58th game of season.  Congrats.  What free-agency in summer 2010?  By the way, wasn’t that a headline we were expecting for the Celtics this year?  What a difference a year makes.
