- The U.S. appears set to name Davis Love III as the country's next Ryder Cup captain. Love, in case you're wondering, has a career 9-12-5 record in the competition. He was involved with winning U.S. efforts in 1993 and 1999, and won the pivotal point in the '93 matches at The Belfry.
- The NFL's oldest rivalry will be played once again on Sunday when the Chicago Bears meet the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game. The Bears lead the all-time series, 92-83-6.

- Anyone who thinks that Blake Griffin's game is one-dimensional, i.e., vicious dunks, needs to watch the tape from yesterday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Griffin scored 47 on a variety of shots and moves, and complemented the scoring with 14 rebounds.
- Quick, name the last U.S. male to win the Australian Open. If you guessed Andre Agassi in 2003, you'd be correct. Agassi was a three-time winner of the event.
- Last night on the ESPN telecast of Baylor-Kansas, Bob Knight said that Kansas' Thomas Robinson was a better shooter from the high post than either Marcus or Markieff Morris. Now, I'm no Bob Knight but that is about as ridiculous a statement as a color commentator can make.
