NFL hopefuls get their crack at stardom They have been pampered and spoiled just about their home football lives. They have been the best players, for the most part, on their teams in high school and college, but now they are rolling with the big dogs and what you did in high school and college does not matter in the what have you done for me lately world of the NFL. St. Louis selected Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the number one pick. that was quickly followed by Ndamukong Suh being snatched up by Detroit. Training camps are set to jump off soon giving teams a chance to get an up close and personal look at the future of there franchise while keeping tabs on vets to see where they are as far as their conditioning during the off season.
The Butler did not do it It has been one of the greatest mysteries of the past twenty years. Which Cinderella would step up to the college basketball giants and do something many thought would never happen. Win a national championship in basketball or football. The time will come sooner then later after watching Duke hold on for their lives to beat Butler 61-59 in one of the best National Championship games ever played. Butler stood up to everything Duke had to throw at them, but in the end it would Butler's shooting that let them down. You could not tell what school was playing for there fourth national title and who was playing for their first. Butler hung with Duke the while game by playing the great defense they have played throughout the season. It was Butler's first loss in 25-games, but they have no reason to hang their heads because it was a game they could have one. Their star, sophomore Gordan Hayward had a chance to put Butler up one with 3.6 seconds left in the game but his floater over an outstretch arm of 7'1" Duke center Brian Zoubek was just long and the ball bounced off the back of the rim and into the arms of Zoubek. He was fouled and after making one of two Heyward got the rebound, dribbled to half court before heaving one last attempt to win for Butler at the buzzer. The ball hit the back board, then the front of the rim before bouncing away as the game ended. Duke could finally celebrate, which they did all over the court. Duke has been put in position to win it all in the nine years since they last laid claim to the national title. Duke got a great all around game from their entire team in the victory. Duke got a good shooting performance from Kyle Singler (7 of 13, 19pts) great off the ball defense, seven blocks to Butler's 0 and a will to win. More click here
Well, well the West not doing so bad at the Big dance Who would have thought about it two weeks ago. St. Mary's was sitting back and watching all the conference tournaments going on across the country after winning the WCC with a championship game victory over Gonzaga by twenty. How did that happen. The Zags had beaten St. Mary's twice this season and looked good both times. The Gaels needed the win in the worst way and now they sit two games away from the Final Four after beating second seeded Villanova in the second round of the NCAA Tourney. St. Mary's along with Washington out of the Pac 10 has moved on and will play a second weekend. More click here Danica Patrick makes her move toward a seat in NASCAR It might not be a ride in a Sprint Cup car but Danica Patrick will turn some laps around the Daytona Motor Speedway during the Daytona 500 weekend, but in a Nationwide car.
Tony Stewart and Patrick's boss, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be in the race as well. Danica got a little taste of what life is like on a high speed oval in an ARCA race last week in which she dodged wreck after wreck to bring her car home in sixth place. That showing gave Danica the confidence to jump into the car this weekend and race in the Nationwide series. She will gain a lot of experience running with some of the best that NASCAR has to offer. The cars are not as big,heavy and fast as a Sprint Cup car but Nationwide cars are the next best thing and the Daytona Motor Speedway is no joke. You have to be on point on the high bank oval
