HOT/ NOT

HOT -
Troy Tulowitzki (SS Colorado Rockies ) - Troy has taken charge the first month of season for a Rockies team that is tied with the best record in the majors through Wednesday. In addition to the teams success he currently leads MLB in Homeruns (7), his .323 batting average has been nothing to sneeze at.


Detroit Red Wings ( NHL) - The Wings were inconsistent down the final stretch of the regular season but have caught fire in the playoffs. They are the only team that hasn't lost a playoff game and with a 3-0 series lead they have a chance to sweep the series. They have outscored the Coyotes 12-7 through 3 games.


North Carolina Mens Basketball ( NCAA) - Monday the last of the trio of NBA prospects Harrison Barnes announced he would return to Chapel Hill to play for the Heels next season. Both Starting post players Tyler Zeller and John Henson said they would return as well. As if that news wasn't good enough UNC top recruit and McDonald's All American James McAdoo won co MVP of the Jordan Brand classic over the weekend. UNC should be the early favorite to win the NCAA tournament next year.


NOT -

Boston Red Sox ( MLB) - After many predicted a top finish in the AL East the Sox have struggled mightily to start the year. They are currently in the cellar with one of the worst records in baseball ( 5-11). To make matters worse they can't seem to do anything positive away from Fenway Park as their road record is 0-7.

NFL Owners - As the labor dispute continues and stories start to circulate about players taking other jobs as roofers, boxers, soccer players, the owners are starting to look more and more like greedy billionaire bastards. With the NFL draft on the docket next week and the 2011 schedules being released football crazed fans are tired of hearing about poor billionaires and only want to hear about the upcoming season.


NY Knicks ( NBA) - Happy New Yorkers expected a great series when the Knicks made the playoffs for the first time in 7 years, they have gotten two very good games. That's where the good news ends. Now for the bad, they are down 2-0 in the series vs the Celtics and they have been bitten by the injury bug. First Chauncey Billup's Knee and now Amare Stoudemire's back. Can they turn things around as the series shifts to the big apple?
