So you didn’t schedule that pre-NCAA Tournament vasectomy giving you a two-day recovery pass…all you need is a BlackBerry and Viigo.
Viigo is one of my five must-have BlackBerry apps. They’re having a little pool of their own:

One thing Spurs fans dread when playing the Lakers aside from Kobe Bryant are the droves of Fake Lakers in the crowd. Fake Lakers? The people FROM San Antonio that cheer for the Lakers…and they’ve likely never even been to LA. It’s annoying. Almost as annoying as Dallas Mavericks fans. Anyway, I thought I’d seen it all until my friend Daryl sent me this snap of some guy with Kobe’s mug shaved in the back of his head. I’m speechless.

Andre Smith disappointed scouts and coaches yet again during his Pro Day yesterday. This is a guy I think is worthy of a #1 consideration based on his accomplishments at ‘Bama. Now, I’m second-guessing my decision. He may go much, much later now. I know it’s been reiterated over and over again. But when millions of dollars are at stake, how do you not prepare yourself as best as you possibly can. Nice goin, ‘Dre. Get yourself a bro while you’re at it. All joking aside, I think there are still teams out there that are considering him as a first round pick despite the lack of work ethic and bad choices he’s made throughout this draft process.
It should come as no surprise that the BCS has received extended agreements with the Fiesta, Orange, Rose and Sugar bowls through 2013. Can’t wait ’til September when they decide who goes (Bowls Contrived in September).
Anyone notice the name of the Italian Job sequel yet? *snicker*
One of the biggest question marks of the 2009 NFL Draft is West Virginia QB Pat White. Despite the obvious parallels to other athletic quarterbacks, it appears that White has created more buzz lately, and has NFL teams scratching their heads regarding his contributions to their programs. The Senior Bowl MVP threw the ball exceptionally well at the Combine, and he was able to run unofficial times of 4.50 and 4.49 in the 40-yard dash. Today is his Pro Day. There are 25 NFL teams there to watch him. He is expected to run routes today. Because his ‘athletic QB’ predecessors have experienced short-lived careers as QBs, a move to WR might be his best bet. He may be the reason for the evolution of the Wildcat…or more aptly named the ‘Two-Headed Monster’.

If you’re looking for a solid excuse to take off during the NCAA Tournament, recovery from a vasectomy may be the answer. On the way to work today, I heard an interview with a local doctor promoting pre-NCAA Tournament vasectomies. According to the Urology San Antonio website, “men who have had vasectomies can return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours of the procedure.” So why not use the recovery time during tournament time?

The Oregon Urology Institute did this last year. It was successful enough that they’ve decided to repeat the campaign in ’09.
You can’t deny that the timing of this is perfect, especially since the first two rounds of the tournament begin on Wednesday, March 19 and ends on March 22. If you’ve been thinking about getting the procedure done, why not now?
Whether or not there’s a pricing special or if it’s simply an astute suggestion is unclear. But one thing you can be sure of is a doctor’s note giving you the necessary tube time.
Get A Snip In Your City. These clinics are also offering March Madness-related events. If you’re in Austin, maybe a visit to Dr. Dick Chopp is exactly what you need (maybe the best aptronym ever).

Now that Terrell Owens has been released from the Dallas Cowboys, who will they turn to for “hands” on support? And where will T.O. end up? And as far as replacements, I wonder what Anquan Boldin looks like in blue. What about Marvin Harrison?
Odes To T.O. Here are a few Terrell Owens memorable moments. Feel free to add your own.

I can’t misremember it. Like a bad nightmare.
December 9, 2004. A friend and I were at Sherlocks in Rice Village, Houston, TX. The only two Spurs fans in the place, we were proud…and loud. Maybe obnoxious at times. The Spurs’ lead was no match for Tracy McGrady’s will. He proceeded to nail four consecutive 3-pointers into the Spurs coffin to lead the Rockets to a 81-80 win. The 13 in 33 is emblazoned in the back of my mind…and is one of the most remarkable sports marvels I’ve ever seen.

Good thing Houstonians are friendly.
The Rockets picked up McGrady in 2004 to pair him up with the 7’6″ Yao Ming hoping to bring a Championship to Two-ston. But it seems his best “performances” have come from the bench. Last season, the Rockets assembled the second-longest winning streak in NBA history without TMac.
Deja Vu?
The Rockets are enjoying a five-game winning streak (eight straight at home) without McGrady and have 21 games remaining in the season. (I hope this post is a jinx to that possibility…Go Spurs!)
As exciting and confident as Tracy McGrady is, where does that leave his future with the Rockets? Obviously the team has flourished without him in the line up. So, is McGrady the greatest, uneffective player ever? Wait. The uneffectivest, great player? Best Irish basketball player? Talk to me Houston fan.

Perhaps my favorite part of the NFL Combine — scratch that…of NFL Network — is Rich Eisen. Rich ran his annual 40-yard dash after the festivities came to a close. Perhaps the best parts were the SimulCam™ clips of Rich going head-to-head with the athletes, including Darrius Heyward-Bey and B.J. Raji.
