Besides wanting to see how you perform on the field and in the sack, NFL GM's also wanna see your logic and problem solving skills. This comes in the form of the Wonderlic test. Tim Tebow recently scored 22 out of 50 on the test, placing him slightly below average. According to the Post, the average Wonderlic score for an NFL quarterback is 24. The newspaper also reported that the quarterback prospects in Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest rankings on ESPN.com - Sam Bradford of Oklahoma (36), Colt McCoy of Texas [...]
It's taken him a few years, but Andrew Bogut may finally be turning into the player the Bucks drafted first overall in 2005 . The past few weeks the guy has seemingly been a double-double waiting to happen. Last Friday, I stumbled upon great seats to the Bucks/Wizards game. Granted the home team was horrible, but the beer was good and seeing Bogut play in person leads me to believe he will be an All-Star in 2011. If BJ3 progresses as expected, the Bucks could really be looking at one of the league's [...]
It's been an interesting decade to be a Sawx fan. I still remember sitting in Fanuiel Hall back in 2004, the day my Dad called to lament and wonder how Theo Epstein could trade the greatest shortstop the team had ever had. I don't know, I probably said. Wondering, myself, if the organization knew how much of a betrayal it felt like. Of course, a few months later neither of us cared as the Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918. Now, Nomah is coming home - [...]
And here's Botchamania 125 , which cannot be embedded.
"To my fans: You all know that my life isn't perfect. I am going through some very tough times right now, like I am sure that we all do from time to time. However, I will stand tall like always with "rhino" thick skin. Even though I have become used to hearing people say things about me that aren't true, it still hurts. I encourage you to continue your ongoing support and I want you to trust that this is another obstacle in my life that, with God's help I will overcome. God Bless You All." - Allen [...]
Clearly, Lamar missed his PowerBar this morning and could be in violation of any endorsement deal he had with the company. In the third, his dunk attempt was thwarted by...the rim and Odom's failed springs. Today's loss to the Magic was the Lakers third loss in a row, a first since they traded for Gasol two seasons ago. Not exactly anything to cause a panic, but worth watching to see how LA rebounds over the next few contests. In other not-so important but highly entertaining Laker news, Ron Ron dyed his [...]
A good friend of mine who coaches eight and nine-year-olds in basketball recently told me his players relayed to him they didn't know who Michael Jordan was. Sure, they're bombarded of images of LeBron & Kobe to the point where they're made to believe the NBA's current crop of superstars invented the peach basket, but I assume some of the naive youngsters made the claims with a pair of #23's on their feet. Shame really. If the kids are oblivious to the path trailbrailzed by the legendary MJ, then there's no way they're up to speed on the [...]
Look, there's always been a saying that people won't say the same thing about you twice and it not be some validity behind it. In the case of Pittsburgh Steelers signal caller, Ben Roethlisberger , it's him and his propensity for lady friends to say some not so nice things about the two time Super Bowl champ. Here's the gist of what happened: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being investigated in an allegation of sexual assault at a Georgia nightclub, the police said Friday. Officers said the suspected assault occurred early Friday [...]

There's a nice remembrance piece in the USA Today on the occasion of today's 20-year (!?) anniversary of the death of Hank Gathers. The Loyola Marymount Lions basketball star, he died-on-court-on March 4, 1990 at just 23-years old, the result of a known heart condition. If you weren't around back then or don't remember him, his story is well worth checking out. (There's even a new book out about him.) That tournament run Loyola went on, making the Elite Eight just days after his death, remains one of my [...]
Here's a special WWECW special:

Looks like the Botchamania viewers voted for an all- Scott Steiner Botchamania: Hopefully there will be more of these!
We all know the story from when we were younger. There was always that kid that if the game wasn't going their way, had no problem taking their ball and going home. Apparently, those kids grow up & go work for Adidas , the NBA's official athletic provider & always #3 #4 #5 #6 on our feet. Perhaps frustrated that their competitors still possess a higher profile throughout the league, they've decided to ban all non-Adidas brand products...in the NBDL. Why? Because this would never fly in the NBA. Because [...]
The Cavs visited The Bronx Academy High Tigers last night and served up a grade-A monkey whooping last night. It got out of hand early with Bron Bron's crew serving up dunk after dunk as often as possible and winning by 31. While people are talking about the reverse alley King James caught, an equally impressive highlight was Delonte West lifting his crazy ass in the air and dunking over Tracy McGrady . McGrady has had a Penny Hardaway-like fall from grace and his time in New York doesn't look like it will be the [...]

Email the show with any questions for Tyler: radio.sports@media.ucla.edu We will also recap the Winter Olympics, work on the formation of our curling team, and perhaps answer that week-old question, "is Kobe Bryant overrated?"
