A Haymaker In Women's Basketball, Manny Pacquiao Serenades Us, And Tyson Vs. Holyfield 3?

Former Spur Michael Finley will soon play for the Celtics. Why are the Celtics getting another player in his late 30s who only shoots 3's?! I'm pretty sure that if he was any bit useful towards a playoff run, then the Spurs would have kept him. Good luck to Doc Rivers trying to figure out his playing time and where he may fit in with the team.

Brittany Griner, a basketball player on Baylor's women's team, threw a hay-maker at an opponent in a game two nights ago. There was only minor injuries to the girl's face because Griner throws a punch like a girl. Yet I wouldn't mess with her because she is 6'8" and scares me. Griner only received a 2 game suspension for this incident. I wonder if that has anything to do with the playoffs coming up?

Where did those giant killer waves come from in the Mediterranean? Was it a mini tsunami or a sneaky Russian submarine? Lets blame Russia for this one! Although it seems more and more that Mother Nature is throwing us some strange occurrences nowadays.

Breaking News: Brett Favre was on the "Tonight Show" last night and claimed that he was still undecided about returning to the NFL! That's simply riveting news!

The NY Jets traded for former All-Pro San Diego Charger Antonio Cromartie. He now teams up with shut-down cornerback Darrelle Revis. Ouch! That trade makes the Jets secondary very difficult to throw against. Yet if the Patriots' Wes Welker comes back healthy, he'll always find openings. Those Jets/Pats games next year are going to be a battle... and may just determine who wins the AFC East.

A 6.8 magnitude aftershock rattled Chile. It's time for these natural disasters to give Chile a break and focus on the Iranian regime.

Passenger ships are stuck in Baltic Sea ice. I feel like this could be a perfect "Snickers" commercial... "Not going any where for awhile, then grab a Snickers"!

Don King is trying to get a "Tyson vs. Holyfield 3" boxing match. Strangely enough, this circus side-show could help boxing out. I think it would be interesting to watch, assuming Tyson leaves Holyfield's ears alone. The winner should then have to fight George Foreman for the best "Washed-Up and Aging Ex-Champion" title.

Michael Jordan only paid $175 million to buy the Charlotte Bobcats. That's $125 million less than what the previous owner paid. Could you imagine losing $125 million on the Charlotte Bobcats?! I know the NBA isn't doing well, but what a horrible investment.

What's up with Manny Pacquiao showing off his singing pipes on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"? That's the 2nd time he's done that since November. Maybe he'll actually give up boxing and try his luck on a future "American Idol". I wonder if the judges would be too afraid to be critical of his performance though. He definitely could use some voice lessons if you ask me.

And on a final note, it's nice to see that the University of Rhode Island is on almost every college basketball analysts' list to make the NCAA Tournament. Although that could change if they lose on Saturday to UMASS and then fall on their face in the A-10 Tournament. That seems to be what has been happening to them the last few seasons. Hopefully this year will be different because it has been awhile since us Rhode Islanders have had a team in the "Big Dance" to cheer for. Oh the days of PC's God Shamgod and URI's Catino Mobley and Tyson Wheeler!
