Dwayne Wade Scores 46 In Miami's Comeback Win













There are certain things you do not want to do to Dwayne Wade and one of those is make him mad. He is one of the players in the NBA that when you do look at. In the fourth quarter he got fouled and hit the floor hard with no call. In the process of all this it lit a fire under him as he went on a 15-0 run by himself in the fourth quarter to give the Heat a 120-115 win over the New York Knicks. Wade scored 46 points in all, but is a guy who lets his game do his talking and last night it talked very loudly.

Jon KiTna Shipped To Dallas For Anthony Henry



It seems the Detroit Lions are making it a habit of getting the better deals from the Dallas Cowboys than any other team. The Detroit Lions shipped unhappy quarterback Jon Kitna to Dallas for cornerback Anthony Henry. This moves saves the Lions 4 million dollars off the cap and also moves a player who really did not want to be in Detroit anyway.

For the Cowboys they needed a backup quarterback, but in my opinion a better option would have been Jeff Garcia. Losing Anthony Henry in my opinion was a big loss for the Cowboys who are really thin in that area and Henry was one of their better cover guys. He was not the best, but better than most on the Cowboys.. If the Lions keep getting players like this they should probably trade exclusively with the Dallas Cowboys.

Kansas City Cheifs Trade For Cassel And Vrabel



It seems that Scott Pioli is taking a page out of his days in New England as once he was named General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs he has not stood still very long. After firing Herm Edwards he has now traded for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel to help out a franchise that has struggled lately especially in the quarterback spot. This move will give the Chiefs pieces that they can build around. The Chiefs gave up their 34th pick in the first round to get them which in reality wasn't really that bad.

For Matt Cassel it gives him a chance to prove he can play in the NFL long term which is something that he wants to do anyway. For the New England Patriots they have to hope that Tom Brady will be ready to start the season. If not they could have really put themselves in a real bind. I guess we will have to see how this works out for both sides.

Tiger Woods Loses 2nd Match



Tim Clark of South Africa played 16 holes without a bogey and pulled ahead for good on the back nine Thursday, knocking Woods out of the Accenture Match Play Championship with a 4-and-2 victory. Tiger Woods who looked rusty at times was able to get past his first round play, but Clark played well and made the shots that he needed to win.

For Tiger Woods this was just not his day and he will be back better than ever. People do have to remember he is coming off a long layoff and even though it is Tiger Woods if you do not play your best golf you will get beat plain and simple. Today he got beat by the better golfer and his name was Tim Clark.

Tampa Bay Release Derrick Brooks And Four Others

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started early in rebuilding the Buccaneers, but I do not know if they are going about it in the right way. Derrick Brooks the outstanding linebacker with the Buccaneers who could be considered the greatest Buccaneer player ever was one of the surprise cuts. Other players who were released were Warrick Dunn, Ike Hillard, Cato June, and Joey Galloway.

All the other players should not come as a shock to Tampa Bay fans, but the Brooks move is strange to say the least. Tampa Bay is on a youth movement and I can understnad the reasons they did it, but Derrick Brooks deserved a lot better then how he was treated. He was always the guy who did the right things and was very big in the Florida community as well. I know this is a business, but Derrick should have been treated much better than he was.

Devin Harris Hits Half Court Shot To Save Nets

Devin Harris knew all he could do was toss it up and hope it went in and too his surprise his half court heave did go in. It took some time for the NBA officials to make sure it counted, but once they did Harris became a hero and gave New Jersey a 98-96 win over Philadelphia. New Jersey has been struggling lately so this is a big win for them as they try to make the playoffs.

Pat White Shows Great Skills At NFL Combine



Pat White knew when he came to the University of West Virginia he may have to switch to wide receiver to play in the NFL, but after his performance at the NFL combines that might change as well. White ran a very quick 40 yard dash and did everything he needed to do to show scouts he could play quarterback at the next level. His biggest problem is his size, but White has beaten the odds all his life so this could just be another hurdle he may have to overcome.

The one thing White will not be able to control and that is who drafts him which could determine what position he plays at the next level. Most people have him projected as a wide receiver, but that could change depending on who drafts him. White still wants to play quarterback and I know I would not bet against him as he has something you really cannot measure and that is heart. I will keep you posted on Pat White's journey and who drafts him and how he does in his first NFL season.
