Random Sports Musings

* Philly sportswriters were all over the Eagles for losing last weekend. I thought it was telling that the headline was "Eagles don't look like a playoff team" rather than "Eagles didn't look like a playoff team." Never mind all the Super Bowl buzz just a week previous; what have you done for me lately?

* I pity the top seed that draws Cornell in the first round of the NCAA tournament in March (up by 1 vs. Kansas with 50 seconds left, at the Fieldhouse no less, before falling by 5).

* I must confess I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how much "Bad Tiger" strafes the competition this year.

* It's a shame that Tim Raines is so far from being elected to the Hall of Fame.

* Pitchers and catchers report in 38 days.
