The TEN<\/p><\/div>\n

(\u201cThe TEN\u201d is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in \u201cThe TEN\u201d)<\/p>\n

1\u2014\u201cThey say there are only two kinds of people on St. Patrick\u2019s Day: the Irish, and the people that drive them home.\u201d \u2014 Conan O\u2019Brien<\/p>\n

2\u2014\u201cIf you walk past a graveyard and guys run after you with shovels, you\u2019re old. Otherwise, you\u2019ve still got some miles on that body.\u201d\u2014MVS commentator Dangerfield on Tim Peterson aging.<\/p>\n

3\u2014 Venezuela defeats Italy, 4-2, and advances to the WBC final against the United States. The championship game is tonight at 5:PM on Fox.<\/p>\n

4\u2014The Lakers use a 13-4 run at the end of the fourth in Houston last night to defeat the Rockets, 100-92. The win is Los Angeles\u2019 sixth in a row, and ninth out of ten games.<\/p>\n

5\u2014\u201cThe secret is to have eight great players and four others who will cheer like crazy.\u201d\u2014Jerry Tarkanian on the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n

6\u2014 \u201cThere\u2019s been multiple times where people at USC have asked me to un-retire my jersey for some five-star prospect. And do you know what I told those guys, straight up? I am never going to un-retire my jersey for some random dude, who by the way now could wear #11 and transfer after a year.\u201d\u2014USC Legend Matt Leinart<\/p>\n

7\u2014Estimates are that Miami QB Carson Beck has made $8-t0-12-million playing college football. Beck is projected as a fourth round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

8\u2014\u201cDoes the NCAA Women\u2019s tourney really need 68 teams?\u201d\u2014Joe Torosian<\/p>\n

9\u2014The New York Jets have traded QB Justin Fields, 27, to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2027 6th round pick. Fields had been the 11th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. He also played for the Pittsburg Steelers in 2024.<\/p>\n

10\u2014\u201cSome people believe football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.\u201d \u2013 Former Liverpool manager Bill Shakily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
