The Miami Heat didn’t have to wait long for a chance to enact a bit of revenge for their worst loss of the season…but could they do it?
On March 4th, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Heat by 30 points, which came a night after Miami blew a huge lead in a loss to Orlando and a few days before they were said to be crying in the locker room following a loss to the Bulls.
The sports world had a good laugh at their expense over “Crygate,” but the Heat seem to have really pulled it together (at least for now) since being embarrassed by their head coach, Erik Spoelstra.
Miami beat the LA Lakers last Thursday, they whooped the Grizzlies on Saturday and on Monday, the Heat recorded the biggest win of them all: a 110-80 victory over the Spurs. That’s right, they lost by 30 in Texas and won by 30 at AmericanAirlines Arena! (more…)
It’s 15 Minutes of Fame for this week and Jim is in Mexico so it makes him a little hard to hear!
This week the boys talk a lot about the National Hockey League’s trade deadline. There have been lots of trades and the boys wonder if the Edmonton Oilers are going to get in on any of them.
Then in the GABBYs: On the good side – the resurgence of the Calgary Flames, the National Football League enters into mediated negotiations with the NFL players association and Peter Forsberg retires gracefully.
On the bad side: Peter Forsberg retires! Tiger Woods can’t do anything right and will the Canadian Soccer Association please pay the women players?

Just when it looked like Peter Forsberg was ready to make an impact with the struggling Colorado Avalanche, a familiar problem crept up on him.
After skating with the team for a while, Forsberg felt comfortable enough on the ice to sign a one-year deal with the Avs last week. He jumped through the necessary hoops to get back on the ice after a couple of years – and a couple of failed comebacks – away from the NHL and finally made his re-debut against Columbus on Friday.
He played 17:38 and was a minus-two in a 3-1 loss to the Jackets, but looked pretty good by all accounts. A night later, he was a minus-two again in a 5-3 loss to the Predators, racking up another 17:32 of ice time. As good as he might have looked though, ESPN reports he started to feel the foot that has given him so much grief slipping and sliding inside his skate – a problem that has followed him around from team to team and league to league since 2003.

Hey folks, it’s Monday and that means another 15 Minutes of Fame Video for you.
This week, Geoff and Jim talk about the Edmonton Oilers and the relatively healthy lineup the Oil are icing day to day. They talk about Zack Stortini and his demotion down to the AHL. They also talk about UFC 126 where Anderson Silva front kicked Vitor Belfort for a huge win. And they comment on the return of Peter Forsberg to the NHL.
In this week’s GABBYs: on the good side – BIG fight week in the NHL, BIG fight opportunity in the UFC and BIG slap shots in the KHL. On the bad side, BAD hits in the NHL, BAD names for fans of soccer and a BAD injury for Evgeni Malkin.
In Quick Hits: Jennifer Heil calls it quits, Tom Brady is the AP NFL MVP and Jim and I are hosting a live sports roundtable.

Peter Forsberg’s on again, off again relationship with the NHL appears to be “on again.”
Well, not quite. But sort of.
The 37-year-old, who hasn’t played in the NHL since April of 2008 because of a recurring foot injury (among other things), is back in his old stomping grounds to see if he’s still got it. ESPN reports Forsberg will start skating with the Colorado Avalanche today in an effort to gauge where he’s at as far as conditioning and to see if his foot holds up at that level…(After the jump: More Forsberg, Nathan Gerbe & Flyers/Sens line brawl)(more…)
