NFL - Swapping Browns tackle Shaun Rogers (left) for Eagles QB Kevin Kolb could prove to be a good move for both teams. Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian is pointing fingers after his team's 31-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Polian: O-line, special teams to blame."Our offensive line, by our standards, did not have a good game," Polian told NFL.com. "They were outplayed by the Saints' defensive line. Our special teams, in terms of handing the ball -- both in the return game and on the onside kick -- were outplayed by the Saints. Therein lies the result. It had nothing to do with strategy or preparedness or toughness or effort."
NBA - No Kobe? No problem. Lamar Odom and the Lakers rolled to their third straight win, ending the Jazz's nine-game win streak. While Aaron Brooks and the

media obligations and promotions that come with a spot on the All-Star roster. He won't make a commitment beyond that. Sunday, February 14 NBA All Star Game-Eastern Conference at Western Conference 8 PM ET-TNT.
