The Wire Troll: Jerryd Bayless Starting Again For Raptors
| Bayless has started three of the past four games at the two, and had scored at least 14 points per game in four straight before sinking just 1-of-6 for three points on Friday. Still, the minutes were there (28), and I expect the production to follow. He’s been jacking up more treys this season and draining them at an impressive 40 per cent rate, so if Bayless maintains this starting role and keeps getting 25+ MPG, he’s going to help you. |  |
Massachusetts Thinks President Obama Should Root For The Patriots In The Super Bowl [Super Bowl 46]
According to the Massachusetts arm of Obama For America, a vote for the Pats is a vote for Obama. But if history is to be our guide, Obama should be pulling for the Giants. President Obama and a New York Giants vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl are inextricably linked. Think back to just four short years ago: The Giants won the Super Bowl in 2008 and Obama won the White House. More »

Is Bruce Boudreau a Jack Adams candidate?
| Let’s not kid ourselves—11 points out with 31 games to play, the Anaheim Ducks do not have a realistic hope at the NHL playoffs this season.

Cecil Fielder Slams His Son Prince Fielder In An Attempt To “Take The High Road”
| It's no secret that former big league slugger Cecil Fielder and his son, newly-minted multi-millionaire Prince Fielder, have a strained relationship. But you have to imagine that it's not going to get much better if Cecil continues to air their family grievances in public.
The dysfunction began sometime after Cecil retired from baseball, when he admittedly gambled much of the families' money away and, ugh, stole about $200,000 from his son after he inked his first big league contract. |  |

UFC 143 preview: Against Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit looks for upset in interim-title fight
Nowadays, Nick Diaz's plan of attack isn't just strategy - it's philosophy.
Fans can pretty much bet that he'll walk down his opponent and throw
punches until he buckles under the pressure. That's real fighting, the
way he sees it, and though the variables may change inside the cage, his
approach is the same.
Carlos Condit is next in line to accept the Diaz challenge. Will he be able withstand the onslaught?

The Red Wings Have The Octopus, The University Of New Hampshire Has The Fish
|
The Detroit Red Wings are famous for their tradition of throwing an octopus on the ice, which started in 1952, with the legs symbolizing the number of playoff wins it took (at that time) to win the Stanley Cup. The UNH Wildcats have their own longstanding tradition and last night we got to see it in all its HD glory. |  |
Manager: If victorious at UFC 143, Carlos Condit unlikely to wait for champ GSP
Malki Kawa understands why Cesar Gracie's highest-profile client, Nick Diaz, would wait on the sidelines if he's victorious at tonight's UFC 143 event.
Diaz and Carlos Condit headline tonight's pay-per-view event and fight for an interim welterweight title, and injured champ Georges St-Pierre awaits the winner in the fall.
And while he understands the financial benefits of waiting for St-Pierre, Kawa thinks his client, Condit, would be better off taking another fight instead of waiting.

With conclusion of 'Primetime,' UFC 143 fighters switching over to 'dark side'
We see the "before" of a UFC fighter before he steps into the octagon in
snapshots: interviews, the press conference and weigh-ins.
When he enters the cage in a bad mood, we know why. It's a job requirement.
What we don't see is the hundreds of hours leading up to those public
moments, and in particular, the changeover that happens as a fighter
realizes the time is near to put everything on the line.
