Donovan McNabb traded to Redskins

Again, far from the only one to report on this, but after hearing of this, a few things come to mind:

1. The starting QB position is improved immediately. He is a clear improvement over Jason Campbell, who was decent, but was not starting material. McNabb has gotten the Eagles to five NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl in 2004, where they lost to the New England Patriots.

2. This vastly affects the draft. Since we have acquired a QB, Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen is out of the picture. Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford was out of the picture regardless, as it is very likely that Saint Louis will pick him with the 1st overall selection.

Also, with this change, there is speculation on where Clausen will land. It is possible that Cleveland will pick him, as well as the 49ers if he falls that far.

3. Next off-season is uncertain. Donovan McNabb has one year left on his current contract, and is 33 years-old. If he resigns, it will likely not be any sort of long deal, as he has been injured in some games for the past few seasons. If Campbell is under contract until the end of next season, he will stay as a backup, and then leave for another team in Free Agency.

Duke defeats Butler 61-59

Ok so I'm far from the first one to comment on this, but it was a great game; one of the greatest in recent memory. I have to give a huge amount of credit to Butler, who almost won the game at the very end. Duke had them beat both in talent and coahing ability, and yet they almost pulled off the upset. By the way, their coach lookes like he belongs on a Disney show...

I also have to give credit to Coach K, who has now won 4 championships, and is clearly one of the best, if not the best, coaches of his generation.

24 is no more!

Very recently, Fox decided to cancel one of its most popular shows, 24. The reasoning given is that it is lacking in the ratings, which it is. It's sad to see it go; it's by far one of my favorite shows. Another reason is that they have just stopped developing intriguing ideas, and I have also seen this happen in the last few years, even though last season was very good. Thankfully, they have decided to produce a movie version of the franchise as a fitting send off. After the show and movie is over, I figure Jack Bauer and CTU will be pummelling terrorists in the great beyond...

NCAA Tournament 2010 Pt. 2-I Was Very Wrong & Expansion

Well it turns out that I (and countless others) was painfully wrong on my picks. Kentucky will not win the title. All in all, the tourney has been very interesting, but alas, many unfortunate bastards have lost money betting on Kansas and Kentucky.

And speaking of unfortunate, the NCAA is considering expanding the tournament to 96 teams, from the current number of 65. I don't agree with this at all. The only reason I see that the NCAA is doing this is to increase their profit, despite not paying the players who earn them millions. This expanded tournament will force a network to expand coverage as well, giving them and the NCAA more profits. The reasoning sometimes given for not getting rid of the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) and creating a playoff is because it might further infringe on classtime and exams. Expanding the tourney would do just that.
