NFL:

• The New York Giants are losing a lot of players this offseason as Brandon Jacobs has signed the 49ers and playoff hero Devin Thomas has signed with the Chicago Bears. If you are a Giants fan, don't be bothered as the Giants have lost a lot of players in the past free-agency seasons usually played well.

NBA:

• The New York Knicks made a statement Tuesday night as they beat the Orlando Magic in MSG 106-86 as Carmelo probably had one of his best games as a Knick. The Knicks will be without the services of Amar'e Stoudemire for 2-4 weeks because of a bulging disk.

MLB:

• MLB season has kicked-off! The Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland A's in Japan 3-1. Ichiro had four-hits and Dustin Ackley gave the Mariners the go ahead run in the 11th inning. They play their second game early morning tomorrow.
• You can rejoice Los Angeles Dodgers fans! Frank McCourt is out as owner of the team as Magic Johnson and his group bought the historic franchise for $2 billion. This looks like one of the best outcomes the Dodger's ownership could have had.

Soccer:

• In definitely one of the best games we have seen this season, Barcelona and AC Milan played against each other on Tuesday in Champions League action. The game ended in a draw of 0-0 but don't be fooled by the score as it was a very good game and both teams missed chances to score.
• In the other Champions League quarterfinal, Bayern Munich beat Marseille in France with a goal from Gomez and a goal from Robben.
• Prediction: I see Chelsea, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern Munich making it to the next round.

College Basketball: New Feature!

• Both final fours for this year's tournaments have been set. In the men's tournament Kansas will play against Ohio State and the other match-up will feature Louisville and Kentucky. In the women's tournament all the #1 seeds made it to the Final Four as Baylor will square off with Stanford while Notre Dame will play against UConn.

Predicting tonight's games:

• NBA
• Pacers over Capitals
• Dallas over Miami
• Portland over New Orleans
• Thunder over Lakers
• NHL
• Capitals over Bruins
• Toronto over Philadelphia
• Bolts over Devils
• Pittsburgh over New York (Islanders)
• Panthers over Wild
• Chicago over St. Louis
• Coyotes over Sharks

Noteworthy thing of the day:

• Here is a fail of the MLB Network as they didn't know who was the minor league player on third base for the St. Louis Cardinals and hilariousness ensued.

Stat of the day: New Feature!

• Carmelo Anthony and Iman Shumpert both had 25 points and the bench was very important for the Knicks as Novak scored 16 and J.R. Smith scored 12. This is what the Knicks need. It's all around team effort.
