Monday Morning Table Scraps-
Tip of the frozen cap to the folks of Calgary and the NHL for a fine Heritage Classic, 41,000 plus brave souls took in the game in -20 Celsius with the wind as the hometown Flames knocked off the Canadiens 4-0. These games really are the leagues most novel and exciting concept and the real possibility that 4-5 of these outdoor classics could take place every season is a real possibility.
Here's to LeBron James who seemingly took it upon himself to get his fellow Eastern Conference All-Stars worked up into a competitive lather in the second half of last nights' NBA All Star game and at least made the second half and final few minutes somewhat competitive.
Still in LA with the All-Star weekend, despite Kobe's masterful performance and MVP highlight reel game last night, it appears the weekend belonged to the Clippers Blake Griffin. This year's event will forever be remembered for Griffin's Saturday night dunk over a KIA. The torch is quickly being passed to Mr Griffin. In a league deep with individual personalities and brands , the Clippers Griffin is quickly surging to the front of the line.

The worst NHL game ever played could have likely been Saturday night with the Leafs/Senators putting us all through a snore fest for what seemed like forever. Yep, both teams are retooling and players need name tags with all the new faces in the room, but if the on ice product of all these personnel moves is hockey this bad- God help those in Leaf Nation and Senator Land.
So, who's the best team in NCAA hoops??? Not so easy is it. Another weekend of upsets and the parity of this year's offering becomes more obvious as we close in on Selection Sunday 3 weeks from now. Ohio State, Pitt, Kansas and Texas seem like Number 1's but who knows....since mid January it seems it has become anyone's field to be the class of and tournament fave.
Big Full Gorilla props to:
Trevor Bayne
Kobe Bryant
Milos Raonic
