- All of the NFL bird teams lost this weekend - the Ravens, the Falcons & the Seahawks. Too bad Vick couldn't keep the Eagles in til this weekend. Would have been cool to see all four of them lose.
- Eric Staal and Nick Lidstrom have been selected as the NHL Allstar team captains.
- It is rumored that Sidney Crosby may miss the Allstar game because he's injured. Waaaah.
Things I didn't like:
- The Jets really took it to the Patriots. It seems the Jets really wanted it and the Patriots thought they had it.
- Two Seahawks players were taken to the hospital and kept over night for observation after being knocked out during the game. John Carlson landed on his head on the frozen side line and knocked himself out. Marcus Trufant took a knee to the head and was out cold (no pun intended) - he wasn't even able to wave as they carted him off the field.
- For the NHL Allstar game, the fans were able to pick the players who participate, but not the captains. The captains have to pick their teams from the selected group of players. Sooo, the fans basically just picked popular players, not necessarily all the best or great up and coming players.
- Wes Welker was benched for the opening of the Jets/Pats match up because of foot references he made in an interview. Background: Rex Ryan, coach of the Jets, has a foot fetish. The Jets were talking trash. Bill Belichick doesn't allow trash talking.
Things that surprised me:
- Florida State beat Duke in basketball to end Duke's 25 game win streak
- The NJ Nets proposed a 3 team, 15 player trade in order to sign Carmelo Anthony. Everyone agreed to it, except him! He doesn't want to play for the Nets, he wants to play for the Knicks (although one would wonder why?!)
Also, a little unrelated to my sports posts, I am starting a 90 day yoga challenge on Thursday. I have to go to 70 classes in 90 days, but will go to more if I can to stay consistent. Wish me luck, I'm nervous I'm not going to be able to do it - totally a head game at this point!
