Being an Orlando Magic fan I've had a floor seat to watch Dwight Howard through the years and I must say many things come to mind. Dwight wants to win an NBA Championship, and wants out of Orlando to do it. Now I will admit I will agree with Dwight he should be shipped out of Orlando and at times has not got the support of his teammates like he should. Yes, he has a right to rip his teammates privately, but never in a public forum.
Now no matter where Dwight Howard gets traded I highly doubt he will win an NBA Championship anytime soon. Unless he goes to Chicago or Miami I just do not see that in his future right now. Dwight needs to work on his foul shooting as in a half court game that will be his downfall. He also must understand this is a team game and needs to play that way. Yes, Dwight Howard has tons of talent, but talent will only take you so far in the NBA.
The teams that win NBA Championships understand it still is a team game and you must play as a team. Someone will be trading for Dwight Howard, but until he learns to play with others in a team setting he is doomed to repeat his failures in Orlando. It will be interesting to see where he lands and how much he can help someone. I do not think he will help any team win a championship this year though.

UnderTaker Is Back And Triple HHH Does Not Seem Happy!
I really thought Undertaker would return at the Royal Rumble, but he has made back to Raw and Triple HHH did not seem thrilled with it. In the clip below you can see Triple HHH reaction to The Deadman reappearing once again. I think that we will see The Undertaker in Wrestlemania, but against who is the question. Many different names have been floating around, but the one thing we do know The Undertaker is back and that cannot be good for the WWE Universe.
What Do The Colts Do With Peyton Manning?
The Indianapolis Colts have a tough decision on their shoulders these days. Do they keep Peyton Manning or save money and cut him loose? A roster bonus is due Peyton Manning soon, so they will make that decision soon. Manning has indicated he will be ready to play this coming season, but the Colts also plan on drafting Andrew Luck out of Stanford as well. This means decision time will be tough for the Irsay family and the Colts. Peyton has been like a son to them and cutting him loose can be a double edged sword for this organization.
The decision will basically come down to one thing for the Colts do they want to start a new era or are they happy with the old one. When they fired their coach they could be leaning towards a new era which would mean Andrew Luck. If the Colts go that direction they will have part of their fan base that will not be very happy. The only way they would not would be if Luck brought them a Super Bowl. In my opinion, I think they should keep Peyton Manning, but only time will tell how this will work out. No matter what, it is a tough decision for the Irsay's to have to make.

Dwight Howard Calls Out Teammates Just As He Should
Many people wonder why Dwight Howard wants to leave Orlando and the answer is really simple he wants to win a NBA Championship. He will never do that in Orlando as the cast around him could care less. Last night was another prime example of it. After blowing a 20 plus lead to the Celtics the night before Orlando gets blown out by a New Orleans team that had been struggling. Dwight Howard lit into his teammates just as he should.
Here is what Dwight had to say about his teammates:
“It hurts to get out there and you play your hardest and you expect everybody to play the same way, and I’m not calling anybody out by no means because we all have to get better … but if you don’t want to be out there, don’t dress up,” Howard said. “If you don’t want to play, stay home. People work too hard. I want to win a championship. I work too hard every night for anybody to not want to go out there and play hard. …
Now Dwight Howard 28 points and 16 rebounds, but was the only player in double figures in any statistic for the Magic. This is why Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando and it has been this way for a number of years now. He is frustrated and wants to play with guys who want to show up every night. You really cannot blame Dwight Howard anymore for wanting out!

Joe Pa Saying Goodbye To A Legend
With the death of Joe Paterno College Football has lost a legendary figure of it's sport. Paterno coached being accountable for things and in his final days Joe Paterno was still upbeat. What will the world write about Joe Paterno after he is gone many years? I know that he will always be considered one of the greatest coaches of all-time. No matter the circumstances that surrounded his firing he was a hell of a football coach. Ask any player who ever played for him and they will tell you countless stories on how he touched their lives.
Maybe the way Joe Paterno should be best remembered is through all the players lives he has touched. He has had some great players that have done great things on and off the field. People tend to think Joe Paterno was all about football. Yes, it was a big part of his life, but it was much more than that for him. He was proud of how many players went on to do great things with their lives. Not every player is an NFL player and Paterno understood this very well.
He taught about life after football and why your studies was so important. Maybe JoePa's biggest mark was not in college football but how many lives he changed for the better.
