Wednesday 03/05 A.M. Quickie:
Favre, CBB, Spurs, More Favre, Roids!

Aaand we're back! Today's Names to Know in today's Sporting News column:

Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Sam Cassell, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, John Wooden, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Spencer Hall and... Brett Favre.

Including:
Why Brett Favre deserves celebrating...
(But his reason for leaving NOW doesn't...)
Why Sam Cassell is the C's missing piece...
Why Florida MUST beat Tennessee tonight...
Why small-conference CBB tourneys rule...
Why Javon Walker is no Randy Moss...
And why Jason Webster is no Asante Samuel...
Why Spencer Hall is Pinch-Hitter of the Year...
And much more... after the jump!

Meanwhile: The tradition continues! As has been our tradition since 2003, head over to ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge HQ and sign up for the "Daily Quickie Readers" group.

Last year's group topped 1,000 participants, third-highest of any group (not the 10,000 of 2006, but not bad) and my then-9-month-old son came in 10th overall. You all have a lot to show for yourselves this year.

(But, ack: Without Florida as a lock to win the title – hell, looking like they won't even make the field of 65 this year – how will anyone rack up the points that come from picking a champ?)

Anyway: Sign up now! It's open to anyone/everyone and no password is required (only that you know the group name.) I'll be reminding you every day from now until the Wednesday before the first Thursday of the tournament. Daily Quickie Readers: The Tradition Continues...

$145 million for Javon Walker, Tommy Kelly and Gibril Wilson. Yikes. Someone needs to tell the Raiders that the Daniel Snyder crazy spending plan doesn't work in the NFL.

Kinda funny that the Celtics biggest concern to start the season was the lack of depth on the bench and now the Celtics biggest concern is the bench might be too deep. Hopefully Doc will use that to his advantage and start easing up on the minutes played by KG, Pierce and Allen between now and the playoffs.
