Walker's Final Four Rants

• Really? The Denver Broncos are willing to trade Jay Cutler? Like we did not see that move coming for the last six weeks...

• UNC and UConn have put on two of the most dominating performances in NCAA Tournament history...

• Seriously it is not news that Andrew Bynum was walking around with a Playboy Bunny on his shoulders. Those actions neither helped nor helped his rehab process I assure you. Post some when Bynum is playing pickup games in the park when he is supposed to be out on rehab...

• John Calipari jumps ship to go to UK. Can't say I am too surprised that he was willing to bail on Memphis. However, I do think his stint at UK will go better than his time in the NBA...

• K.G.'s knee is banged up. I believe the Celtics are hiding how severe that injury truly is...

• $1.7 million!! That's what UVA is paying Tony Benett. Simply insane. He better take the Hoos to a NCAA tourney in the first two years seriously...

• John McCain wants a pardon for first black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson. That may be the first worthwhile piece of legislation McCain has ever come up with...

• March 17: The Redskins insist they have no interest in Jay Cutler.
  • April 1: the Redskins make an offer to the Broncos to trade for Jay Cutler. You got to love the way that organization works...

• Baseball season starts on Sunday that means I will start paying attention in October...

• That Tiger Woods fellow is pretty damn good, huh? Guess that whole surgery thing worked out well for him...

• Nice the MARFU (Mid Atlantic Rugby Football Union) has an embezzlement conspiracy. $150K? That’s a lot of mullah to pocket and have nobody notice...

• So the 49ers don't want Matt Stafford because he won't open up to the team psychologist about his parents' divorce. Makes sense to me...

• Allen Iverson will not go quietly into the night. I wonder what team he will wreck next season...

• Despite picking up a win this week, the U.S. soccer team has looked horrible as of late...

• No way Bruce Pearl leaves Tennessee to go to Memphis; I just don't see it happening...

• So let me get this one straight, the halfway house Mike Vick is supposed to be sentenced to may not have enough space therefore he gets out of jail early? What type of justice is that?

• I can't believe the Caps have made it this far to a second place finish in the East. Just goes to show a team with a plan and the willingness to stick to that plan is a dangerous thing. Well done Caps…

• Get yourself ready, District for Disaster (an RFD PPV coming in May) It's going to be huge...

With what happened with Vince Young (and Ryan Leaf), I do not blame the 49ers one bit. Psychological issues can be due to very real illnesses and could lead to future problems if not properly addressed. The fact that he is unwilling to open up about a formative event in his life is a good indication that he has not confronted it and it could cause problems at any time.

For the amount of money these players receive, the teams have a right to ask the questions.

Maybe the Broncos are wishing they'd done some psychological evaluations with their soon-to-be ex-quarterback? :-)

Campaign finance reform wasn't worthwhile?

True, but the US usually looks poor in qualifying. Rival Mexico is 1-0-2 and just lost 3-1 to Honduras. Other big teams having qualifying round troubles:

Brazil is 2nd in CONMEBOL, behind Paraguay. They drew 1-1 with Ecuador.

Argentina is 4th, 5-4-3. They lost to Bolivia.

Portugal is 7 points behind their group leader: Denmark. Hungary is also 7 points ahead of Portugal.

Turkey's 2-2-2 have them 10 points behind Spain (perfect 6-0-0) with only 4 matches to go. In other words, they need a miracle to win their group.

France is 3-1-1 and behind Serbia.

True the match at El Salvador was pretty ugly but the US came back with a pretty decent effort in Nashville against Trinidad and Tobago. I was especially happy to see Jozy Altidore become a Hat-Trick hero.
