Time Was Right for Saints’ Gutsy Call

MIAMI — Contrary to what you’ll be hearing for the next few years, Sean Payton isn’t that smart. If he were, he would have waited a little longer before dropping a bomb on his kicker.
“Hey, we’re running it,” he told Thomas Morstead.
It was the Onside Kick Heard ‘Round The World. The only thing wrong with the call was that there were still 20 minutes left in halftime.
“I wish he’d told me at the end,” Morstead said.
Instead, Morstead had an entire performance by The Who to get nervous. But like almost everything else Payton did Sunday night, it worked to near perfection.

Oklahoma Stuns No. 9 Texas
Posted on | February 7, 2010 | No Comments
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Tommy Mason-Griffin scored 24 points, Cade Davis added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the second double-double of his career and Oklahoma beat No. 9 Texas 80-71 on Saturday in a game dedicated to the memory of late Sooners star Wayman Tisdale.
The Longhorns (19-4, 5-3 Big 12) cut a 19-point, second-half deficit to five in the final 2 minutes but were hampered the whole game by the same free-throw shooting woes that have been an Achilles’ heel all season.
Texas made just 10 of its 27 foul shots and were 4 of 11 in the second half.
Freshman Avery Bradley scored 21 points to lead the Longhorns, who have lost four of six since being ranked No. 1 for the first time in school history. Damion James added 12 points and Gary Johnson had 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Oklahoma (13-9, 4-4) used a 3-point onslaught to build a 19-point lead just after halftime but had to hold on from there.

Next Six Months Could Define Next Era for Clippers

If Mike Dunleavy stays in his role as general manager through the end of his contract next year, as the Clippers insist he will, the resigned coach will have a monumental impact on the next era of Clippers basketball. Truth be told, his choices have already set up much of that future: Blake Griffin was a no-brainer, certainly, but Eric Gordon was a fantastic choice in 2008. The deal clearing Zach Randolph’s salary (a year after welcoming it with open arms) also provided breathing room heading into the future.
Marcus Camby, the ancient oak with an expiring contract and a renowned attitude, figures to be one of the bigger prizes on this month’s trade market. What Dunleavy can get in exchange for Camby figures to affect the future. Next up is the draft, where in all likelihood the Clips won’t have such an easy choice to make. L.A. figures to pick somewhere between 8th and 12th in the first round (barring a trade of the pick).

Time for Mr. Kardashian to Prove Worth

Filed under: Super Bowl
MIAMI — So there was Mr. Kim Kardashian, in a white T-shirt and sneakers, captured by a TMZ camera leaving a South Beach nightclub around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. Um, wouldn’t that be the last image Reggie Bush wants to carve out at the Super Bowl? Already, we have a great argumentative divide here in sporting America on whether he’s an exasperating NFL bust or a delayed firecracker ready to explode.
Now, this quickly, Reality Show Reggie has us wondering again if he’s more interested in embracing nightlife, Hollywood and All-Things-Kim celebrity than tapping his potential as a magnificent football gamebreaker.
For all the chatter about Peyton Manning’s legacy, Sunday also stands as a referendum on Bush’s career. We’ve seen him struggle with ineffectiveness and injuries the last three years, becoming so irrelevant that his infamous girlfriend — and her famous butt — turned into a much bigger conversation piece. Hey, wasn’t Reggie Bush the guy who won the Heisman Trophy several years back, the guy who continues to be investigated by the NCAA for alleged favors that he and his family received at USC? You know, the dreaded answer to a trivia question? Once, he and Matt Leinart ruled L.A. and college football. Now, they’re competing for the booby prize of most disappointing Trojan Man in the pros.

Vince Carter Ends Worst Slump of Career

ORLANDO, Fla. — This wasn’t exactly the Vince Carter of old, but it sure was better than the Vince Carter of late.
The Orlando Magic feel a little better now about the chances of defending their Eastern Conference title and staying within sight of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the second half of this season.
The worst slump of Carter’s career has been pronounced over — at least for now.
“I can still do everything I used to do,” Carter said confidently after getting 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in a 99-82 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday. “It might be that January just wasn’t my month.”

WASHINGTON — As the first U.S.-born player taken No. 1 overall in the NHL Entry Draft, Brian Lawton knows a little bit about expectations.
While Lawton (pictured) was more of journeyman than an all-star in his decade in the league that concluded in 1993, he became one of hockey’s most successful sports agents and parlayed that into his current gig as the Tampa Bay Lightning general manager.
Now, those around hockey are wondering what to expect from his Lightning the rest of this season: An ownership change? A possible trade of captain Vincent Lecavalier? The team’s first playoff berth since 2007?
