NBA all star weekend is my favorite professional sports all star game. i love the skills contest and the dunk contest as well as the three point shootout. the entire atmosphere is incredible, fun and you get to see some athletes do amazing things. Do you enjoy watching the NBA's all star festivities the most or would you rather watch another sports like the pro bowl or the mid summer classic?

A few of my friends and my sister go to school at UCONN and have been very excited about their bball team this year. led bythe huge center, Thabeet, the Huskies had elevated to the best team in the nation for the past two weeks. unfortunatly one of their leading scorrers, Jerome Dyson injured his knee this week and needs surgery that will sideline him for the remainder of the season. where dou you think UCONN stands without Dyson and how far will they make it come March?

Red Sox are down in Florida getting tan while we are buried in snow up here. i like the team this year and am not upset that they did not land Texeira. the only reason i like not spending all that money on a very good first baseman is because of Lars Anderson. the first baseman is taylor built to be a excelent hitter at the major league level. when you see Anderson, you would expect him to be holding a surfboard not a baseball bat. The Cali kid keeps improving every season and can eventually become a cheap version of Texeira, or move to the outfield if there is a log jam at first. with all this talent in the farms are you still upset about the Sox not being able to land Tex?

its the NBA all star break and the Celtics are first in the NBA in wins. this is the time where every team decides if they are sellers or buyers. the celtics are in a good position with the squad they have but some say they need another big man or point gaurd. the names i keep hearing are starbury and Joe Smith. i personally do not have much faith in Perkins and would love it if they made a move for Smith, a lanky veteran big man with a great mid range game. Smith played outstanding in the playoffs last year for the Cavs. do you have any other ideas on who the green should make a run at?

i was surfing the web earlier today and was obviously on espn.com. i tend to do the survey questions they post daily and the one they had today related to my last post. the question was what should happen to a-rod now. the options they gave were to eliminate all his stats from 2001-2003, suspend him, or nothing. personally i would be in favor of taking away his stats, but only if everyone's stats that did steroids were taken away. i think that would be a little tough especially because MLB did not have a banned substance policy in 2003, the test that arod failed went towards implementing that policy. would you pick one of the punishments that espn gave or do you have any original ideas?

so i watch ESPN religiously and all that has been on today is A-Rod and how he tested positive for steroids. i am getting so tired of hearing about all these players everyone looks up to testing positive for performance enhancing drugs and how the government is becoming involved, its all getting old. i was thinking in order to preserve some of our heroes legacies that everyone just needs to admit that the entire game had a problem in these years but now we need to move on and if anyone is caught on any performance enhancing drugs from now on that they will have a lifetime ban from the game. what do you think?
