Well, I wasn't sure what I was going to post about today, but I come back from work to find out that the Chargers have fired Marty Schottenheimer. The move will be universally ripped, but I think it is the right one. The Chargers are ready to win NOW, and it was obvious after their season-ending loss to New England that Schottenheimer did not give them the best chance to win. They played dumber than any high school team I have ever seen. It was obvious which team was begin coached by Schottenheimer, and which was being coached by Bellichick. But they have to make the right hire. Word round the campfire is they are thinking Pete Carroll. But I don't like Carroll, whi has a bad track record in the NFL and seems to be made for college. On the other hand, Carroll's old assistant Norm Chow is still available, and I've maintained that he has been the best candidate on the market the whole time.
Also, the Giants released LaVar Arrington. LaVar's career has really spun out of control lately, being released by two teams in the last two years. I hope he can get his career back together. I think the best thing for him to do would be to escape the NFC East.
Maryland beat Duke on Sunday, which knocked the Devils out of the coaches' poll. Winning against Duke has been a very good sign for Maryland, when it happens. It usually signals the beginning of a good stretch of basketball. Hopefully it can jettison this team to the school's first tourney berth in 3 seasons.
Finally, the Pro Bowl was Saturday evening. Now, even the slightest semblance of football season is behind us. Oh, sure, we have the draft and free agency to look forward to, but no games until August, and no real games until September. Oh well.
The biggest NBA game anybody would want to watch between now and Firday would be the Spurs and Pistons Wednesday night, a potential NBA Finals preview, but that game isn't going to be on a network anybody has (it will be on "NBA TV", whatever that is), and the second biggest, LeBron vs. Kobe on Thursday, will be on TNT, but it won't start until 10:30. Bummer.
Well, that's all I got for this morning. Tomorrow I'll be in the politics/current events blog. Till then...

You forgot to mention Kris Benson's torn rotator cuff, the immediate signing of the ageless Steve Trachsel to replace him, and the current status of the Orioles starting rotation. Thats at least worth a flyer. We don't even have a #5 starter in mind!
Oh, and to make matters worse, the Packers just signed Al Harris until 2011. Thats right, 2011. He'll be 38 then. I think he's one of the worst corners in football now, I can't wait to see how bad he is by then. Thank you Ted Thompson, you fuck.
