Monday's Headlines

• First off I want to shoot down all you Cavs fans that think that their recent trade with the Bulls and Sonics put them at the top of the Eastern Conference. This is absurd, who did Cleveland get thats going to make them an automatic contender? If Cleveland is banking on a trade for Ben Wallace, Wally Szcerbiack, Joe Smith and Delonte West to lead them to a title they are in some trouble. Ben Wallace is washed up and has no offensive skills at all, wally can shoot but plays zero D, Joe Smith is a strong defender and rebounder but his getting old and isn't a high caliber player, and West is an average player at best. Detroit and Boston are still the top 2 teams in the east even with this trade.
• Tennessee ranked first in both college basketball polls for the first time EVER.
  
• The LA Lakers have now won 8 straight and 9 of 10 with Gasol. They are rolling on all cylinders and Kobe is doing his best Jordan impersonation.
• Darren McFadden ran a 4.33 forty; he jumped 10 feet, 8 inches in the broad jump; and jumped 33 inches in the vertical leap. After recent scrutiny due to off the field troubles, McFadden made quite a statement at the NFL Combine. All three of these stats are better than those of Adrian Peterson's last year. SCARY.
• LAST BUT NOT LEAST ..... Team Go Go Gadget's tourney run begins tonight at the Ark at 9.
