NCAA HOOP's - MARCH MADNESS - FINAL TONIGHT -
BUTLER vs DUKE - When Duke and Butler meet for the national title, five white players could be on the courtat tipoff. That's the most in 12 years. Defense has fueled Butler's run to final. At 33, Butler's Brad Stevens could become the youngest coach to win an NCAA title since 1940. It's not that Butler is too small. Just the players. So say the experts: Duke is too big, too strong, too talented. But there is one brave soul who says the Bulldogs will claim their first national title.

NFL - The Eagles had no choice but to trade QB Donovan McNabb to the rival 'Skins because McNabb insisted on it. Thanks to the addition of Donovan McNabb,
the Skins are NFC East co-favorites. Long Hot Winter- Santonio Holmes, Ben Roethlisberger, Julius Peppers, Mike Shanahan and Rex Ryan's Jets were big
newsmakers.
NCAA FOOTBALL - Georgia Tech hired ex-Virginia coach Al Groh to turn its defense around. Groh is among the top new assistant hires for 2010. The

In Gene Chizik's second season, Auburn is looking for some time in the sun.
NASCAR - Four times this season, the winner was decided by a pit stop after a late caution. Is NASCAR becoming too much about chance? Burning Questions-How
many wins for Jeff Gordon in 2010? Will Joey Logano make the Chase? Kevin Harvick took advantage of a late caution to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday at Nashville Superspeedway. Harvick passes Kyle Busch for win. Next Race - April 10 - Subway Fresh Fit 600 - Phoenix Int. Speedway!

upon us. So how will Tiger look in his return? And what kind of reaction will he face?
MMA & BOXING - Three long-term champs run roughshod over the UFC. Can anyone stop Georges St. Pierre, Anderson Silva and B.J. Penn? What should Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. do for an encore after their bizarre bout? Call it a career.

Mansally scored goals in the 80th and 82nd minutes to lift the Revolution to a 2-0 victory. Bringing the heat- Colorado could not get past Chicago, which rallied to hold the Rapids to a 2-2 draw.
