-Scott Ostler has a new "Knucklehead of the Day" bit on the Sports Columnist blog on SFGate. His latest two knuckleheads are Peter Magowan for positioning Brian Sabaen in just the right way to be thrown off the bus and everything and anything regarding the NFL Combine. Amen to that.

-Here's something surprising-- Bruce Jenkins complains about something, this time the NBA. And guess what? He says it was better way back in the day. Actually, the theme of trying to improve the NBA is common thread these days as a bunch of NBA bloggers take up the issue too.

-Mark Kotsay already has back problems.

-Do A's fans really hate their ownership?

-Your "what will the Raiders do with their draft pick" column comes to you from Glenn Dickey in the Examiner. Meanwhile, the Raiders are looking to shift around their offensive line again.

-And your "Will the Warriors make the playoffs" story comes from Golden State of Mind where they have an interview with KNBR's Damon Bruce to discuss the above question. It's also taken up on AOL's Fanhouse.
