Lots of stuff going on today in sports:

  • Apparently Shaq is on his way to Phoenix for Shawn Marion. This could work very well for both teams considering Marion is a free-agent this summer and Shaq, well, lets just say that Lebatard puts its best: "Shaq's style doesn't work in Phoenix? Taking passes from Nash kind of works for anyone. And dunking and shooting 60 percent fits just about anywhere."
  • Tonite the US Mens soccer team is playing a 'friendly' against Mexico at 7p on ESPN2. This is turning out to be a great rivavlry and this game will defintley be worth watching, even if you're not totally sold on soccer. look for Landon Donovan to have a big game, this is about the only team he plays well against.
  • speaking of soccer, US rising star, Jozy Altidore was apparently almost tranferred to English Premier League bottom-dwellers Reading this past January. The deal fell through, which is both good and bad; Jozy is young and he's awesome and he brings a high-level talent to the MLS, but he would have been thrown into a starting role in England in arguably the best league in the world which would help him as a play instantly
  • in NFL news....Patriots suck, and looks like they're in more trouble, no sympathy from me
  • The Browns now have SIX pro-bowlers, and deservedly so, now that Brady and Moss have backed out. Derek Anderson, Kellen Winslow, Braylon Edwards, Joe Thomas, Ryan Pontbriand, and Josh Cribbs.
  • In the best commentator news, still in soccer-mode, ESPN has dropped Eric Wynalda, who basically sucked as a soccer announcer and could be at fault for people not liking soccer.

Well that was fun
