Larry Fitzgerald is the best receiver in the NFL.  He's better than Andre Johnson, but not by much.  Sorry T.O. and Randy Moss.  You're out of the conversation, for now.

I don't get as many emails when I'm right as I do when I'm wrong.  All I got this past week for going 2-0, including almost nailing the Pittsburgh/Baltimore game exactly (I guessed 24-13, it was 23-14) was a congratulatory text from my friend Charlie, and that was before the late afternoon game even happened.  So thank you Charlie.  To all of the angry New York fans who only drop a line when you win, I'm sorry that you're stuck with a mediocre, albeit marketable QB for the next decade.  Better luck in the 2020's.

Pittsburgh (college basketball) got robbed in Louisville.  Jamie Dixon didn't even yell.  All he could do was smile as bad foul call after bad foul call kept coming.  I like Pitt to face UNC in the NCAA Championship this year.  It's almost March.  I'm already excited.

I don't know if anybody saw that missed call at home in whatever league it was in South America, but it was possibly the worst call I've ever seen in a baseball game by an umpire who was in perfect position.  The runner coming home was Ronnie Belliard and he missed home plate by a good 18 inches (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEbZ88SFxC4).  Both the manager and first base coach for the other team got tossed in the first game of the league's 9-game championship series.

I got really upset thinking about a teenager shooting a 62 in Hawaii in a PGA event.  That's pretty much heaven and some kid gets to live it while I whine about the stock market.

Luis Collazo needs to leave the arena before judges give the results.  If HBO re-airs the Berto/Collazo match from this past weekend, watch it.  Early fight of the year contender.  The judging wasn't as bad as the robbery that Collazo suffered against Hatton, but how a judge had it 116-111 is beyond me.  I disagreed with Howard Lederman and gave Round 7 to Berto, which seemed to be an obvious Berto round.  Lederman needs to lose his job.  But I had it 114-113 Collazo.  Great fight either way but you had to have it 114-113.

If Manny signs somewhere other than with the Dodgers I will cry. 

Seriously, how right on the money was I this past weekend with my predictions?  I never really brag because I feel that it's luck about 90-100% of the time, but I had Arizona in a high scoring game because Philly would settle for too many FG's and I nailed the Pitt game almost right on the dot.  I mention this because I have no doubt that my Super Bowl pick will be way off target.

I'm still not over the UCLA-ASU basketball game from this past weekend in case you were wondering.  I just don't understand how you don't make an adjustment and score ZERO POINTS against a zone for 8 whole minutes.  It is mind bottling.  It bottles the mind  (Extra credit if you get the mind bottling reference.  And by extra credit I mean that your taste in movies is pretty poor like mine).

I don't want to hear any more LeBron is better than Kobe talk.  LeBron can't guard Kobe.  Kobe can guard LeBron.  Simple and plain as my friend Ice Cube would say.  LeBron can't finish games the way Kobe does because LeBron either won't go to his jumper late in games or misses when he does with the one exception being that Detroit playoff game a couple of years back.  Kobe will keep you in a game and then be an unstoppable force in the last two minutes.  I really don't want to talk about this anymore.  I'm willing to accept that Kobe is not the next MJ, but LeBron is not Kobe, at least not until he gets a jumper.

I'm getting excited for Champions League soccer.  Barcelona set the Spanish league record for most points in the first half of the season and Manchester United is rounding into form.  If Joe Cole didn't just get lost for the season I'd be even more excited with Chelsea's draw, but the first round matchups are good enough to make even an uninterested party get glued to ESPN2.

The Super Bowl is weirding me out.  I'll of course go far too in depth about the matchup at a later date, but at first glance, I see Pittsburgh getting an early lead, trying to run out the clock and Arizona covering the spread late a la Philly against New England a few years back, but still coming up short.  Just a hunch. 

I like Anquan Boldin.  He played with a broken face.  But not celebrating your team going to the Super Bowl?  Even I can't defend that.

The Antonio Margarito-Shane Mosley fight is coming up at Staples Center on Saturday.  I think Margarito brings too much for Sugar Shane to stop, but of course the side story is the BALCO drama.  Apparently in Mosley's grand jury testimony he revealed that he injected himself with EPO and used the cream and the clear before his 2003 victory over De La Hoya.  Shane vehemently denies this and De La Hoya and his people are supporting Shane.  What's not getting brought up is that De La Hoya and Mosely are now business partners.  De La Hoya is a businessman before anything else so his vote and anybody from Golden Boy's for that matter should be null and void in the matter.  Victor Conte has a 100% track record in his allegations despite denials and defamation suits.  I loved when Shane beat Oscar but I doubt its validity now (and no, I'm not just talking about the ridiculous scoring in that bout).

I don't care about 60 Minutes specials.  Pete Carroll is a jerk.  Mark Sanchez should sue him for slander.

Barack Obama's been President for a whole day now.  How come the world isn't fixed?  I don't get it.  And how hilarious was John Roberts screwing up the oath.  The guy has argued before the Supreme Court 25 times without using notes once but he couldn't nail three or four lines.  Maybe he said Barack Hussein Obama and then thought to himself, "Hussein?  Our President's name has Hussein in it?  Is that even allowed?  As Chief Justice can I do something about this?  Oh, right, I'm doing the oath.  Where were we?"

Rudy Fernandez is in the dunk contest?  Can we vote him into the 3-point contest instead?

I'm sure there's something going on in hockey.  I just don't know what it is. 

The Tiger-less PGA Tour goes on.  I'm excited for the L.A. Open at Riviera in a month or whatever they're calling it now, but not as excited as I am for Tiger's return to Augusta in a few months.

Lance Armstrong needs to win.  I just want to see all of those French people go nuts and accuse him of being a cheater without any evidence again, don't you?

That's all I've got for today.  I hope the Bruins cheer me up with a Washington sweep.
