T.I.L.T.S.

It's time for another installment of T.I.L.T.S. which stands for Things I like to see. The sports world is so competitive and filled with negativity that it's refreshing to see things go in a positive manner or things that are just down right entertaining. Here are a few examples. Let me know your thoughts.

1. Kevin Love putting up monster numbers. No one thought he was capable of this kind of production. It is literally off the charts. I can't say he went too low in the 2008 NBA draft however. The players picked in front of him were Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley (Nance), OJ Mayo, and Russell Westbrook. Only Mayo and Beasley weren't all stars this year and their future potential makes it a wash.

2. Danica Patrick coming in 4th in a NASCAR race. Up until now Danica has been the equivalent of a Victoria Secret model driving around a track.

3. Rachel Alexandria and Curlin siring a thoroughbred offspring. I'm already saving my money for when this horse turns 3 years old.

4. The NFL and the NFLPA working overtime to hammer out a collective bargaining agreement. The exposing of the $4,000,000,000 war chest the owners have was critical. Public sentiment has definitely turned in favor of the players.

5. Bo Kimble coming to the aid of the Fenville high school basketball team. If anyone can help those young men cope with the sudden loss of a team mate and friend it's Bo Kimble.

6. Carmelo Anthony playing in the Garden. It was a long time coming, but he couldn't look more comfortable in a Knicks jersey. The swagger is kind of ridiculous.

7. WSU players getting into trouble. Just because you're in the middle of nowhere doesn't mean no one's watching you do bad things.

8. The Lakers winning 7 straight games after the all star break. Suddenly my phone doesn't ring 27 times a day with reports of the Lakers demise. Funny how winning changes everything.

9. A quiet spring training thus far. No major injuries and no contract disputes is a good thing.

10. Parody in the NCAA basketball tournament. With no clear cut favorite and no consensus as to who will be the #1 seeds it's time for Young Sam Rothstein to get back to his winning ways.

11. ESPN Films doing a special on the Fab 5. With the exception of Texas Western (The first traditional school to start 5 Black players), UNLV (1990-1991) and Georgetown (1982-1985) no other team has had more of an impact and influence on the college basketball landscape.
