Just Some Random Sports Thoughts

Like the title says.
-Absolutely awful stuff to hear about Robbie Alomar. I'll try to remember him as the best Second Baseman of the 90's and the best since Ryne Sandberg, though this is hard to forget.
-It's no coincidence Favre announced his retirement five days after the A-Rod story broke. Brett could only take so much coverage not devoted to him. 
-Don't be so fast about all this talk of this retirement sticking; My sources tell me Favres been looking at houses in the Twin Cities.
-Move over Peter King. Favre's got a new best buddy and his name is Ed Werder.
-Last night's Duke-UNC game was the first full College Basketball game I've seen all year so I'm nowhere close to being an expert. However, I can offer this up: does anyone honestly think Wake Forest, or Duke, or Pitt are honestly better than the Tar Heels. UNC is in "La Joga Bonita" mode to me and my untrained basketball viewing eyes.
-Does Dick Vitale just seem to randomly choose who his play by play man is each game? No Dan Shulman, the man for Dickie V tonight was Mike "Holy Cow!" Patrick.
-File this into the category of things I wish ESPN would do, while knowing it will never, ever happen: How about putting the dreadfully underrated Brad Nessler on some of these mega college basketball contests. This may be asking too much, but how about putting him and Jay Bilas together for the next Duke-UNC matchup? Jay Bilas seems to actually follow the sport closely and seems to have a great depth of knowledge about it. 'Course, when did not having these skills stop ESPN from putting you on TV?
-The Orioles would've taken peanuts in return for Miguel Tejada if they knew they weren't going to have to deal with this mess again. The cunning of Ed Wade, everybody!
