Here's some stuff you should know.  No, it's not Buckeye news, but you should know it anyway.

Brett Favre denied - New Orleans goes to the Super Bowl
The Saints win it in overtime. But you already knew that.

Braylon Edwards denied - Colts going to the Super Bowl
Yes, we know you predicted the Colts-Saints game. So did everybody else.

Yet another Detroit fan doing something embarrassing
Yeah, we're not surprised either. This one is well worth the click-through.

Los Angeles Lakers lose late
Officially, the Cavaliers are now the best team in the NBA. No more excuses exist.

The Knicks Really Lost By 50 points
But don't worry, LeBron is coming to save you. NOT!

Tomorrow should be a fun day too (I have Cavs tickets yay), but today was a busy one.   Here's some of the headlines you might have missed;

Ohio State returns to the Top 25
Associated Press puts them at #21

Lady Buckeyes dominate again
While you weren't looking (and you know you weren't), Ohio State moves to 19-1 and grabs a #1 seed in the latest women's bracketology.

North Carolina: America's Only Six Loss Top 25 Team
Seriously, what the fuck?

2010 Slam Dunk Contest participants are named
Hmmmm, let's see....mmmmm......nnnnnope, no LeBron James. Not gonna watch it now.

....and then there was one
Top-ranked Texas falls to K-State, leaving only Kentucky undefeated.

Stephon Marbury signs with a new team. In China
After signing with a Chinese team, Marbury sent 6 Tweets in 10 minutes saying how much he's thrilled to be living his dream of playing in China.

Who are you trying to convince Stephon? Us, or you?

Buffalo decides that people don't laugh at them enough
The Bills are about to hire Chan Gailey as their new head coach. No, this is not a headline from The Onion

Really? Martin Luther Coon?
Mike Greenberg from Mike and Mike in the Morning uses a racial slur. It may have been inadvertent, but still, dude....there's a reason you have a seven-second delay. Use it.

The SBN has this thing on lockdown, but if you're interested in other opinions from around the interwebs:

USC won't find another Pete Carroll in NFL coaching ranks - Stewart Mandel
And, sure enough, they didn't

One year in, Lane Kiffin ditches Tennessee for old flame USC - Dr. Saturday
Better version (of course) of my dating life scenario. Best quote- "Tennessee, you have officially been treated like a Bowling Green-level steppingstone. The coaching ball is in your court"

Hey Jenny Slater.: He ran through the T . . . and kept on going.
Doug points to this as an affront to both Vols Nation and the SEC

USC Stays in the Gutter by Hiring Kiffin -- FanHouse
Jay Mariotti, with an opinion. Go figure

USC Commits Suicide | Heismanpundit
Heismanpundit's take on the Lane Kiffin hiring. Read the whole thing

Volunteer Sources Say Kiffin Never Embraced Tennessee
To be honest, this doesn't surprise me: Kiffin brought/borrowed/stole USC's traditions and tried to foist them on the program at Knoxville, in order to be "the USC of the East".  In doing so, he tossed aside years or Tennessee tradition

Offsides: Lane Kiffin and the New Beverly Hillbillies - LSUFreek - The Sporting Blog - Sporting News
This was in the comments, but is worth posting out here where everyone can get a gander:

Come and listen to my story 'bout a coach named Lane
The poor Volunteer was really glad his daddy came
And then one day, he was shootin' off his mouth
And out came the news, Ole Petey had run out

Carroll that is. From the Trojans. USC.

Well, the first thing you know when Lane became aware
The kin folk said "Lane, move away from there."
Said "Californy is the place you oughtta be!"
So they left a Vol pup,
And they moved to USC.

Geoff Calkins: Was Lane Kiffin's surprise move treachery or just business?
Tennessee got what it deserved for the way it treated it's previous coach. When you make decisions without considering loyalty, you can't expect loyalty from the people you hire.

Other things of note:

Jerry Tarkanian weighs in- NCAA is 'crookedest' organization - ESPN
and he, of all people, would know crooked

USC coach Pete Carroll knew about former coach's drug addiction  - NCAA Football - SI.com
USC football knew about and aided assistant coach Dave Watson's addiction to muscle relaxers. Explains why he was so mellow...

Chippewas hire Spartans assistant Enos as head coach - NCAA Football - CBSSports.com
The cluster of suck shuffles coaches between each other. If you can't beat them... you're screwed.

Around the sporting world, here's the headlines we like the most.

Michael Redd's season is over. Again
The former Buckeye legend might have to call it quits. That knee just won't stay healed.

The Gators' Swamp is emptying
With Saint Tebow gone and Urban Meyer waffling on what his future at UF is, several Gators are declaring for the NFL draft. We can only wonder what this effect will have with recruits.

Alabama's Rolando McClain leaving too
The main piece of the Bama D is gone now. The playing field is leveling out for the early 2010 polls.

Cavaliers continue their dominance against the West
The Cavs are now 13-4 against the Western Conference and are only a half-game back of the Lakers for best overall record.

Holy crap, the Pistons suck
Pistons lose 13th straight, their longest losing streak since 1993-1994 season. The BBC predicted this demise following the Boobie Gibson Show in 2007, but we didn't think they'd challenge for the basement of the NBA. Still, let us laugh.

Mark McGwire Admits To Steroid Use
I'm totally shocked.
