The Daily Nickel

1. It's official, Marty B is high on something: We all thought Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett had to be taking some type of mind-altering substance because of all his wacky behavior....now, we have prove that he is. No, he hasn't been arrested, and no, he hasn't tested positive for any illegal substance, but he did speak out today and say that Jon Kitna should have a legit shot to take Romo's starting qb spot. That ridiculous statement alone tells me that Marty is not only high on Kitna but high on something else as well.

2. Nellie Cruz continues to swing the Boomstick: Nellie hit his fourth homerun last night in as many games. When are pitchers going to stop throwing it into his wheel-house? I hope not anytime soon as Nellie goes for the record tonight against the Mariners.

3. The Mavs call off the season and go on vacation early: Ok, that's not true, but can you prove that they haven't? I can't, and I don't think the Mavs can either after getting thrashed by the LakeShow, the Warriors, and the Blazers. At least J.Kidd is going to get some rest before the playoffs by taking some time off. An early vacation to the Mavs' early vacation.


4. UConn beats Butler to win the Men's Championship: The way Butler played last night, I think that UConn's Women's team could have beat them. Speaking of women's basketball, Texas A&M plays against Notre Dame in the women's championship. What's wrong with this picture? How come the Men's game is before the girls? Shouldn't you save the best for last?

5. The Rangers' young Lefties Start out Solid: I kind of wish I didn't trash these two guys so much before the season started now that they've come out of the gate strong. On the other hand, maybe they read my harsh comments on the D-Fdbub and that motivated them to the greatness that they've displayed thus far. I'm that's what happened.
