January: the Good, the Bad, & the really questionable(SPORTS)

The Good
-Maria Sharapova won the women's Australian Open
- Cleveland Browns head coach, Romeo Crennell, received a well-deserved 2-year contract extension.
-3 Browns players were selected to the NFL PRO BOWL
-Atlanta Falcons FINALLY got a new coach
-Atlanta Thrashers represented and played well hosting the NHL All Stars
-New Orleans Hornets who have sucked for years are a top of their division in NBA after a 10 game winning streak
-THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS ENDED that winning streak by beating Hornets on their home turf!!

The Bad
-the media coverage about the Super Bowl is complete overkill. how many times can you examine the 2 teams?
-Roger Federer lost at the Australian Open
-I did a small amount of running and overall exercising during the month
-Former talented & respectable Marion Jones was sentenced to 6 months in prison for lying about using performance enhancing drugs.

The Really Questionable
-The SF Giants made no significant roster changes...the season already looks ugly....
-Golden State Warriors brought back former #1 pick, Chris Webber. The same guy who pouted, demanded a trade and caused great coach, DON NELSON, havoc in the rookie's only season with the Warriors. Fans don't forget all that childishness, but if the coach and his teammates welcome him, hopefully the fans will too, eventually.
-On-going debate on whether Clemens used steriods

I haven't been following men's b-ball in awhile now, just soooo over it, but I saw a blurb about Webber. Not only was I surprised that he's going back to GS, I was surprised to find that he's even still in the league. sheesh.

Federer lost? Geez.

I don't see how Crennel deserved an extension. The qb he chose to start in Week 1 is now third string in Seattle. It was only the play of Anderson that bailed him out. So the Browns won in spite of Crennel, not because of him. He should have been fired last year for mindlessly sticking with Carthon for for so long.
We'll see how Romeo does this year now that his OC has fled.
