Lakers outlast Magic behind Shannon Brown.
steve-thesportsguyz:

By night Shannon scored a career high 22 points. Brown helped the Lakers defeat the Magic in a 2009 Finals rematch 98-92. The Lakers have the associations best record at 32-9 at the mid-point of the season, but 26 of those...

Vikings advance
jared-thesportsguyz:
I guess we found out which Vikings team showed up. That looked very much like the 10-1 team we saw through the first 11 weeks. I’m looking forward to the NFC Championship game! I will be giving my analysis on that game later in the week so check back. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Colts rest, Colts win
jared-thesportsguyz:
I know if you’re an Indianapolis fan you could taste 16-0. Most fans wanted to be a part of history so badly they would risk injury to any and all players for the chance to go undefeated. The thought of matching and passing the 2007 Patriots was almost to much to deal with.
How many people are questioning Jim Caldwell now? Its hard to argue with the results, The Colts were...

Cardinals at Saints 4:30pm est
It’s often been said that defense wins championships. When these teams take the field I don’t think most fans will be thinking much about defense. Lets take a look at the numbers, most experts are picking this to be the highest scoring game of the weekend.
The Saints finished the regular season ranked 4th in passing, 6th rushing and number 1...

Image of the week
jared-thesportsguyz:
I love how ESPN’s image of the week is also proof of a facemask! Instead of this being a defensive touchdown by AZ it should have been a 15 yard penalty and first down for the Packers. In the playoff’s you have to get these calls right!

Parnevik vows to stay mum when asked about Tiger
HONOLULU — Jesper Parnevik is trying to stay out of the loop when it comes to Tiger Woods’ marriage so he won’t say anything he might regret.
No other PGA TOUR player had such a personal stake in Woods’ infidelity than Parnevik, who once employed Woods’ wife, Elin, as a nanny and was responsible for introducing them.

Carroll leaves an empire

jared-thesportsguyz:
Pete Carroll built an empire at USC. From 2001 to 2009 Carroll’s Trojans won two national titles and finished with a 97-17 record. If Pete’s record wasn’t impressive enough how about coaching 3 quarterbacks who went on to win the Heisman Trophy? Still not impressed? How about sending 35 players to the NFL in that span?

Kapaula Paradise for Ogilvy Again

How can you blame him he worked total of four days at Three Hundred Thousand dollars a day in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. What’s wrong with that!

PGA new groove regulations for 2010
The PGA Tour’s Policy Board voted today to accept new groove regulations for clubs with 25-degrees or more loft. In actuality, the members of the Board abstained.

Today the talk is how great Tiger Woods is let’s never forget the great Bobby Jones.
Bobby Had one of the sweetest swings ever. His arch rival and friend Walter Hagen said “Bobby is the best golfer I’ve ever seen”. Bobby was the always the man to beat. Between 1923 and 1930, Bobby Jones entered 20 major championships and won 13 of them, culminating with the Grand Slam — the 1930 British...
