Ten things: Carmelo Anthony

Ten things Melo should do:

10. Now that you're in NYC, go catch a 'Cuse game, you know, you matriculated there for a year.

9. Get some advice from LeBron, the transition could be tough.

8. Spend 5 good minutes with Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon.

7. Get to know your new teammates, namely Amare Stoudemire.

6. Check out the real estate in New Jersey, just to keep the Nets option in your back pocket,. plus it's pretty close to your new "home". 

5. Put Spike Lee on your speed dial. And Jack Nicholson.

4. Just admit you wanted to go to the Knicks the whole time, we knew that.

3. Come up with a nickname, actually I don't think Chauncey Billups qualifies them as another "big three" in the NBA.

2. Clear your schedule in June, oh wait, that may be a little too presumptutous.

1. Pick a new number.

What have I learned.

Time for a new segment. I am going to call it: What have I learned. (Notice above title).

Over the past week in sports the most important things I have learned:

10. The Cavs season is over. Wait, before you question me, hear me out! I know it was over when LeBron decided to take his talents to South Beach and leave Dan Gilbert to drown in his tears every night, BUT the Cavs BEAT the Lakers!! After a win like that, no need to come back after the All-Star break.  Heck, if the Lakers win the title again they don't even come back next season. So long Cavaliers.

9. The NFL MUST play next year. A year without professional football is not an option.

8. Albert Pujols should be the highest paid man in professional baseball. Are Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Howard worth more? Ummm I think not.

7. Blake Griffin can jump. Just kidding! I knew already knew that.

6. Jay Cutler......uhhh crap Cutler hasn't done anything news worthy this week!

5. Denver should probably just trade Melo already.

4.  6,969 people "like" the Lakers on Facebook, but that's nothing compared the the 580 who like the Cavs, sounds about right.

3.  Apparently there was a quota of franchise tags that needed to be handed out in the NFL, more to come?

2. Sidney Crosby needs to come back! Not even Barry Melrose can keep my attention on Sportscenter during an NHL segment.

1. I miss Aaron Rodgers already! Is it football season yet?

Better Late Then Never

I realize that it is extremely late BUT I must give a shout out to my Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packers!! And also to my number one boy (and Super Bowl MVP) Aaron Rodgers. Congratulations to the Pack, you guys earned this one and made the season before the it-is-probably-going-to-happen-lockout-season one to remember for Packers fans, and NFL fans.

As I sit here and get my daily fix of PTI and hear Kornheiser and Wilbon debate about Albert Pujols' potential free agency, hits in the NHL and spend five good minutes with Jimmie Johnson I realize how bad it would be if the lockout actually happened next year. If there is not an NFL season next year we can expect mediocre episodes of Sportscenter and listen to Kornheiser and Wilbon talk about the Westminster dog show and NASCAR, uhhh yikes.

Again, a big congrats to my boys in green and yellow and being the Champs for probably two years without even having to play another game. Let's just hope that doesn't happen.
