TGIF

-Lots of different stories coming out on Alex Rodgriguez. Reports are that he has a torn labrum in his hip as well as the previously reported cyst. If A-Rod decides to have surgery he could be out anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks. Good news for Yankees fans, Cody Ransom hit .302 last season. Oh wait... What's that? He only had 43 AB's. My bad.

-Is there a better sports show on TV than Inside the NBA? The answer to that question is no. Need further proof? Check out this clip from last night's episode.

-Only two games last night in the Association. Carmelo Anthony had 38 points in his return from a one game suspension to lead Denver past the Trail Blazers in a match up of Northwest Divison rivals. Chris Paul had a big night leading his Hornets past the Mavs in the Big Easy.

-Tom Verducci with Sports Illustrated has given us 10 Reasons Why The WBC Matters. Great article, and I can't wait to watch Team USA play this spring.

-And now some sad news. It appears that Lauren Conrad will be leaving The Hills. I know, I know, it may take some time for all of us to get over that....... Excuse me? Oh, you're already over it. Again, that's my bad.
