  • Party on, Coach
  • By Jay Mariotti 2/9/2010 9:15PM ET
  • It isn't a bandwagon we're jumping on. It's a Mardi Gras float, a wave of confidence that dares to suggest that the Saints might win another one next year.

  • H.O.R.S.E. (Bleep)
  • By Bethlehem Shoals 2/9/2010 3:25PM ET
  • Despite our best efforts to get Monta Ellis into H.O.R.S.E., when the field was announced, Monta was nowhere to be found. In addition to defending champ Kevin Durant, we got ... Rajon Rondo and Omri Casspi, which is insulting on many levels.

  • By Michael David Smith 2/9/2010 1:45PM ET
  • After Randy Couture beat Mark Coleman at UFC 109, UFC president Dana White said Couture is one of the top five or six 205-pounders in the world. But while Couture looked good against Coleman, he's going to have to win at least one more fight before he makes my Top 10.
