The UNC Tar Heels won the NCAA championship beating Michigan State 89-72.  Now they’re waiting to see if juniors, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington, will go to the NBA draft a year early.  Senior, Tyler Hansbrough, leaves UNC as one of the most decorated players in college history.  He’s earned three-time consensus All-American honors.  He’s the fourth all-time leading scorer in NCAA tournament with 325 points, and ACC’s all-time leading scorer.  The first player in conference history to lead his team in scoring and rebounding for four years straight.  Now he adds a ring to his finger. Congratulations to Tyler and the Boys on their win.  Congratulations to President Obama who picked UNC to win it all this year.  See, he’s already better then Bush..  I bet he wouldn’t have traded Sosa?
Opening Day is my favorite day!   For all the money the Yankees laid out for CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira, they certainly got there asses kicked on Opening day, losing to the Orioles 5-10.  Teixeria went hitless and Sabathia gave up 6 runs.   Every Met fan should rejoice for once they have a better record then the Yankees.  The Dodgers beat the Padres 4-1.  The loss broke Jake Peavy’s 11-game winning streak against the Dodgers.  In more exciting news there is a book about A-Rod being released on May 12th, written by Sports Illustrated reporter Selena Robert.  You can all bet your bottoms I’ll be the first on line for that book.

Phil Jackson said there’s a chance Andrew Bynum may be joining the team again this week.  Bynum’s been  out since January 31st.    If this happens watch out Lebron, we’re coming after you for the best record. I’d love to see a Lakers/Cavs finale or a Kobe vs. Lebron finale. Finally, see who’s really better. The Giants let Plaxico Burress go on Friday, but on Monday he won his grievance against the team .  According to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, arbitrator Stephen Burbank ruled the Giants must pay Burress a $1 million bonus, plus an undisclosed amount for a 2008 roster bonus.  I don’t understand how you get money if you break the law.  Isn’t it his own fault?   He’s the one who couldn’t play. These Athletes get away with everything.
Actually, it seems in some cases even murder.  Remember OJ?
