NBA:

Return of Rasheed. Rasheed Wallace has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. It's exciting to see him coming back but it's not a good pickup from the Lakers I think.
East won the Celebrity All-Star game Friday night as comedian Kevin Hart was voted MVP of the game after he got ejected from the game. Hilarious. The score of the game was East 86 - 54 West as Durant coached the West and Howard the East.
Kyrie Erving was named Rising Stars MVP as Team Chuck beat Team Shaq 144-136. The #1 pick of the 2011 draft had an amazing game as he had 34 points, 9 assists and made 8 out of 8 three pointers! Team Shaq was led by Tristan Thompson.
If you didn't already know Derrick Rose is rich and will become even more richer as he has signed a $260 million contract with Adidas. Nothing else to say.
I did not watch it personally but judging from some tweets I read the Dunk Contest disappointed. A lot. Jeremy Evans of the Utah Jazz won the competition. The NBA should have superstars do the dunk contest next year.
Kevin Love, Tony Parker and Team New York were winners on Saturday night as they won the 3 Point Contest, All Star Skills competition and Haier Shooting Stars competition respectively.

Kevin Hart seems very happy after winning the MVP award.

NHL:

Ales Hemsky is off the trade market for now as he and the Edmonton Oilers agreed to a two year $10 million deal.
In a salary dump the New York Rangers have sent Wojtek Wolski to the Florida Panthers for a 2013 third round pick and Mike Vernace to New York.
Mared Zidlicky waived his no-trade clause to get traded to the New Jersey Devils for Kurtis Foster, Nick Palmieri, Stephane Veilleux and draft picks. Good trade for the Devils as they acquired a player who could boost their defense.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has once again returned from injury, this time from shoulder injury and will be in Edmonton's lineup against the Coyotes.
To kick off trading on Sunday, the Ottawa Senators traded for St. Louis Blues goalie Ben Bishop for a second round pick.
Rick Nash to the New York Rangers is heating up as Mark Spector tweeted of the possible trade that could send the Blue Jackets' captain to New York. Rick Nash's agent wants this saga to finish before the deadline.

MLB:

Terry Mathews has passed away at the age of 47. He was a right-handed reliever who played for the Marlins, O's, Royals and the Texas Rangers. He suffered a heart attack. Rest in peace.
Russel Martin and the New York Yankees have given up on contract extension but will continue talking after this season.
Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post reports that Yadier Molina and the Cardinals are close to an extension. Good news for Cards fans.
Other good news for Cardinals fans, Adam Wainwright threw in a batting practice session in Spring Training.
Joel Zumaya is injured once again. We will know the results of the MRI tomorrow or Monday morning Phil Mackey says.
New Boston Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has banned beer in the team's clubhouse. How about fried chicken?
Ryan Zimmerman and the Washington Nationals are talking for a contract extension and the main cause of them not reaching one is the Nats not willing to give him a no-trade clause. Both sides are positive that they will reach a deal. UPDATE: Nationals and Zimmerman reach a six year $100 million deal.

Soccer:

In Premier League competition the derby between Chelsea beat Bolton 3-0 with goals from Luiz, Drogba and Lampard ; Manchester City beat Blackburn 3-0 too, the scorers were Balotelli, Agüero and Dzeko ; West Brom beat Sunderland 4-0, the Sunderland that eliminated Arsenal from the FA Cup... On Sunday things were not looking good for Arsenal as they were losing to Tottenham 0-2 until the 40th minute when Sagna scored. After that the team never looked back as Arsenal scored 4 consecutive goals to make an amazing comeback and win 5-2! Norwich almost got away with the draw but Manchester United always has its way. Ryan Giggs scored a goal in the 90th minute to give United the win. Norwich has tied the game in the 84th minute.
The League Cup Champions are.. Liverpool
Genoa made a comeback to tie with Parma 2-2 as they scored goals at the 78th and 90th minute both coming from Palacio. The two top teams of the Seria A played each other Saturday and tied 1-1 as Nocerino and Matri for A.C. Milan and Juventus respectively.
In a dramatic ending in France Paris St. Germain made a comeback against Lyon to tie a high scoring game at 4 as "Les Parisiens" scored in the 90th minute in an amazing game.
