Who's Not |
Sanderses
Aggressive 5'8" safety Bob Sanders has had the Colts' defense bruisin' since returning from a right knee injury for the playoffs. His Super Sunday: one interception, one forced fumble and the first title of his life. Former Lions tight end Charlie Sanders (no relation) had a Hall of a weekend too. The seven-time Pro Bowler is headed to Canton, the first Lion to be inducted since (you can see this coming) ... Barry Sanders. |
Cedrics
Minus-one yard on two Super Bowl carries for Bears back Cedric Benson -- and that's the good news. He also fumbled and, minutes later, got knocked out of the game with a left knee injury. The NBA's Cedrics are aching too: Cedric Simmons (3.4 points a game) has been benched by the Hornets, while the Hawks' Cedric Bozeman was so ineffective (1.1 points), he got waived and wound up in the D-League. |
Seminoles
They beat the (Blue) Devils! FSU's one-point hoops win at Duke -- its first ever -- gives hope for an NCAA tourney bid. The baseball team opened 3-0, and good times roll for the Seminole tribe, the richest group per capita in the state thanks to gaming at the Seminole Hard Rock. |
Timberwolves
Kevin Garnett's 44-point effort to stop the Suns on Jan. 29 was but a break in the clouds. The downtrodden Wolves were 2-5 since firing coach Dwayne Casey (he had 'em at 20-20), and the new boss, Randy Wittman, says he finds all the losing annoying: "It's like a broken record." |
Pags
Carl Jr. and Perry Paganelli became the first brothers to officiate the Super Bowl -- and blissfully avoided controversy. Said Carl Sr. (to The Grand Rapids Press) of his sons' selection, "It makes you humble." |
Tags
All the NFL concussion news is a stain on ex-commissioner Paul Tagliabue's game. And on Saturday, a day before successor Roger Goodell presented the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Tags got passed over for the Hall of Fame. |
Women of UConn
After snapping Marquette's 13-game home winning streak, the No. 5 Huskies were 10-0 in the Big East. Games against LSU and Louisville await. Says coach Geno Auriemma, "Our kids are pretty jacked up." |
Men of UConn
After squeaking by Rutgers (you read it right), the Huskies -- and Jerome Dyson who lost two teeth versus DePaul -- are 3-6 in the Big East. Coach Jim Calhoun: "I still maintain we've got a champion's heart." |
