It’s morning. While you get out your favorite coffee mug, pour a glass of orange juice, and make sure you have enough milk for your bowl of cereal, get yourself back up to date with the happenings in, or at least somewhat near, the sporting universe.
The following are links that we’re certain Satcha Pretto would love.

– From what was a rather normal Media Day at the Super Bowl in Dallas, a little recap of a few of the stranger goings on. Sounds like the general consensus was “it’s cold in here.”
- Thomas Rozwadowski of the Green Bay Press-Gazette gave his thoughts on the big bowl of media stew.
– Also from SBXLV: The Pittsburgh Steeler defense is begging you to compare them to a fine wine. Aaron Rodgers gets to wear his fancy shoes.
– Tom Brady beat out Michael Vick to win AP Offensive Player of the Year. So that’s cool.
– I know Dallas isn’t exactly providing the cozy temperatures people were expecting, but someone in Indianapolis thinks this year’s Super Bowl would’ve been perfect for the city. That message was scraped out of a sheet of ice on a city sidewalk, until it was later covered in a snow drift.
– Today is National Signing Day in the college football world. Have your refresh button ready to go.
– In college ball, Wisconsin beat Purdue, and here’s a handy mid-season breakdown of the Big East. As for the tournament chances for many in the Big 12, it’s anyone’s guess.
– The snowpocalypse is giving the Celtics an extra day in Sacramento after defeating the Kings last night. The Raptors, who want to play in Atlanta tonight, have been stranded in Super Bowl haven Indianapolis since Monday. Word is now, though, that the Raps may finally be making their escape.
– In actual games, Portland, behind LaMarcus Aldridge’s flat-out incredible 40 point, 11 rebound, 2 assist, 3 steal and a block-performance, defeated the conference-leading San Antonio Spurs, 99-86. This may have been their best win of the season, and this is a must-read recap from Blazersedge.
- The Lakers fought off the Houston Rockets in overtime, and this play was big in helping with that.
– Finally, a good look at the Milwaukee Bucks and why they need to be faster.
Well then, who wants to shovel?
