It should almost be expected that the day The Masters "tuna mint" starts that there is good weather worldwide. The media is all about Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Padraig Harrington right now, which usually means somebody other than those three rises. Except when Tiger is lurking. You'd be crazy to bet against that guy in any major, especially when it comes to The Masters...ESPN's Ric Bucher says most NBA teams have red flagged Ricky Rubio heading to the draft. Word is he's going to have a very tough time getting out of his deal with DKV Joventut Badalona...Liverpool's Rafa Benitez spent the days leading up to yesterday's Champions League tilt against Chelsea spouting off about Manchester United being afraid of Liverpool. Not sure if that is true, but if so, they'd be more afraid of Chelsea after they curb stomped Liverpool 3-1 in Liverpool to all but seal that quarterfinal. Speaking of seal, Barcelona hammered Bayern Munich 4-0 to all but assure a very interesting semi-final between those two. Liverpool will be lucky if they get a sniff of the English Premier Championship. Looks good on you, Rafa..the New York Yankees are 0-2 with a stagnant offence. And somewhere, there's people that think they don't need A-Rod. Speaking of, Bill Simmons ("The Sports Guy") has a great piece here on the galvanizing force that is A-Rod. Not bad, for a Boston Red Sox honk...NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is suspending Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch three games for off-field transgressions. In response, Terrell Owens said "don't worry about it, you don't need a running back anyways." Only the former is true...playing AJ Burnett and the New York Yankees again today at -1.5 -114, doubling up even. 0-3 to the Orioles? Could well happen, but it shouldn't. Good luck...Washington Capital Alexander Ovechkin clearly has a death wish. Watch this. Amazing.

Ricky Rubio's buyout this year is huge with Joventut, he'll have to go in the top 3 to make it worth his while to leave Joventut this year. If he goes later than 3rd, he'll pretty much have to come over next year when his buyout decreases a lot.
Here's guessing Rubio goes in the top 3. He's one of the few impact players in the draft who could alter the course of a franchise. Not all Spanish point guards are useless, just the ones who signal "six!" on threes...
I think his chance of going top 3 is a lot higher this year than next at least, fighting for a top spot against guys like Favours, Wall, Xavier, Monroe, Henson, etc.
Talking about some of those guys, looking forward to the 18th and the Jordan Classic and seeing those guy go against eachother. Specially the speed and ball control of John Wall has impressed me, though not sure if he belongs in NBA or the And1 tour quite yet...
