Instead, Saturday night just another walk in the park for the man who calls himself &#8220;Money.&#8221;  We saw a different side of Mayweather, however, during his destruction of &#8220;Sugar&#8221; Shane Mosley.  While [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you&#8217;ve all heard by now that Santonio Holmes has been traded to the New York Jets.  On paper, it&#8217;s a great trade.  Combined with all the other moves the team has made in the offseason, it makes the Jets the favorite in the AFC East and maybe in the entire conference.  Holmes takes [...]]]></description>

1. Siena will make the Elite Eight.  Duke is in the easiest bracket but the Blue Devils will be upended in the Sweet 16 by the Saints.  Good reigns over evil yet again.
