A general day

I'm not sure what to write today. I wasn't expecting to write about college basketball until tomorrow, but it came out yesterday that UConn might have some recruiting violations coming out soon. While most of the talking heads on ESPN have been talking about it being a distraction for the rest of the tournament, I'm wondering if it is true and UConn isn't allowed in the tournament, even for a year, how many of there players will leave for the NBA this year instead of staying for the next couple of years. The future of the program could be in real trouble, depending on the sanctions the NCAA imposes if it's true.

Also yesterday, LeBron led the Cavs to their 58th win of the season. That's the most ever for a Cavs team. If your memory is short, you might not think that is a big deal, but if you remember the 80's, and before, you remember that Brad Doughetry and Mark Price combined to make some very strong Cavs teams that probablt would have been championship team if not for The Bad Boys of Detroit and MJ in Chicago.

In the NFL yesterday, Mangini told the media he has given Favre an open invitation to training camp. Not as a player but as an observer and mentor. I admit, on first thought it seems like an ok idea. You have a hall of famer giving young QB's advice on how to play the game and handle being an NFL QB. But when you look closer, he brings several negatives too. One is a media circus that's going to be constantly asking him if he will play again or stay retired. Being asked those questions constantly around to underachieving QB's could spur him into playing again, something no one wants to see. I think it's a mistake. You employ a QB coach, if you have any confidence in him, let him work and let Favre stay at home.
