Louis, Kansas City just couldn’t quite get up to their neighbors’ level of misery. KC still comes in at a respectable 13, with Forbes conceding that the lowly status of the Chiefs and the Royals was even more of a factor than high crime and taxes. Now that I think about it, if I had to root for the Royals in 2010, I’d be pretty miserable too. I don’t care how many fountains are near my house…Let’s just all thank Forbes for explaining to us why one thing that is supposed to be an enjoyable experience is really contributing to our miserable lives.Subscribe (for free!!) to our weekly sports podcast, deemed "incredible" by two out of three of our moms.

Many people cite the whole Riley Nelson situation as evidence that Mendenhall is a hypocrite. When we met Alex Rodriguez he was happily married to Cynthia Rodriguez. This article is from my blog at after I posted an article breaking down the QB class of 2010 a few weeks back, Florida QB Tim Tebow announced his participation in the Senior Bowl. But I respect those artists as well because they found their "nitch". Not everyone is sweating out the result of the coin toss because they decided to wager their paycheck on tails.Therefore, get these guys their own TV and let them be.

Drexler could dunk from the free throw line, could literally jump over people (look up the YouTube video of Clyde clearing Andre Turner’s head on a dunk in college), had legitimate 4.4 or better speed in the 40, could cover ten feet of floor quicker than anybody except maybe Pippen, and was considered the strongest shooting guard in the NBA.Carroll Dawson, an assistant coach with the Rockets, claimed Drexler had the strongest hands of any player he’d coached during his 40 year career. Rick Nash - Ryan Getzlaf - Jarome IginlaNash, Getzlaf, and Iginla all have one thing in common, and that is they would likely prefer that they were doing more then they have this season. In most preseason polls, Minnesota was the fifth highest ranked team in the Big Ten behind Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Michigan. If the Gophers were going to emerge from the crowded field to have an opportunity to hoist the Big Ten Title Championship banner, they would need to pull an early season upset win over the Spartans or Boilermakers. Additionally, the Gophers would need to avoid an early upset themselves to avoid having too high of a hill to climb to the top. The Big Ten season started well for the Gophers as they held serve at home against Penn State and trounced the young Hawkeyes in Iowa City to get off to a quick 2-0 start.The Gophers were a confident squad going into the toughest stretch of their schedule. Minnesota?s next three games were against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ohio State at home and Michigan State in East Lansing. If the Gophers could pull off an upset on the road and get a win at home, Minnesota would be in a solid position to likely contend for the outright title for the remainder of the season.Unfortunately, Minnesota could not secure an early season upset on the road over either the Boilermakers or Spartans. The Gophers however took care of business against the Buckeyes with a 73-62 win.Minnesota?s next game was on the road against Indiana. The game against the Hoosiers was the classic trap game of the season as it was sandwiched between the away and home games with Michigan State.The Gophers could not afford to commiserate about the loss, nor could they look ahead to the rematch at home.While Indiana is not as talented or deep as Minnesota, coach Tubby Smith undoubtedly impressed upon his squad that the Hoosiers should not be underestimated as they had previously defeated Pittsburgh 74-64 on a neutral site and Michigan 71-65 at home.The Gophers did not get the message. Minnesota came out flat and Indiana took advantage racing out to a 14 point lead in first half and 15 point lead in the second half.The Gophers, to their credit, battled back to take the game into overtime where Devoe Joseph hit two three points to start the extra period. Minnesota however ran out of gas and lost 81-78 as they were only able to score on two free throws in the last 3:22 of the game.Minnesota had little time to wallow in the loss as they received news that starting point guard Al Nolen was being suspended from the team after being declared academically ineligible. Nolen is one of the best perimeter defender?s in the Big Ten, and his 3:1 assist to turnover ratio places him among the elite point guards in the nation in taking care of the basketball. Which Gopher would step up to replace Nolen?s defensive presence and leadership in running the team?Coach Smith needed to have the Gophers come out strong against the Spartans if they were to beat Michigan State. This time, Minnesota got the message from their coach, and they played with intensity from the opening tip racing out to a 12-3 lead.The Gophers got solid play from seniors Damian Johnson and Lawrence Westbrook.Johnson played like a man possessed on the defensive end blocking five shots. Johnson wasn?t satisfied to simply swat away shots as he also came up with three steals.Westbrook scored 16 points and was two out of four from beyond the arc. More importantly, Westbrook had only one turnover while dishing out four assists. Joseph also had a solid game filling in for Nolen at the point dishing out seven assists. Joseph was most impressive however in creating his own shot on the way to scoring 16 points on six for ten shooting.Minnesota appeared to be on their way to an upset win as they held a 55-45 lead with nine minutes to go. Unfortunately, the ball stopped moving around the perimeter and easy interior shots became non-existent. The Gophers would not score on successive possessions for the rest of the game.The Spartans slowed crawled back into the game as the Gophers became stagnant on the offensive end.The Gophers clung to a two point lead in the final minute. The Gophers made several passes around the perimeter before the ball landed in the hands of Westbrook. As the shot clock was winding down, Westbrook launched a three point shot from the top of the key. The shot rattled around in the rim but the ball came out.The Spartans did not fail to take advantage of their opportunity. Kalin Lucas, last year?s Big Ten player of the year, launched a three point shot off the dribble from the top of the key. The shot hit nothing but the bottom of the net.Adding injury to insult, Lucas hit the shot while Westbrook was guarding him.The Gophers now have four losses and are in seventh place in the Big Ten. In order to catch the Spartans to win the Big Ten title, the Gophers would need to pass six teams in the Big Ten and make up five games on Michigan State.Minnesota has not been mathematically eliminated from winning the Big Ten title; however, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which the Gophers can become Big Ten champions.Coach Tubby Smith needs to regroup the troops and focus on securing enough wins to be awarded an NCAA tournament bid. While the dream of a Big Ten title is likely gone, Minnesota can still make the dream of a deep run in the NCAA tournament a reality.. With many questions swirling around about the future of Marc Bulger, some may speculate the Rams using the No 1 overall pick on Jimmy Clausen or Sam Bradford I do not see that happening I believe Bulger will get another shot in St. The only losses acceptable for the A-10 teams at this point are to the other tourney contenders.
