Austin Dillion Puts The No.3 Back On Pole At Daytona

You probably could not right a better start to the season for RCR Racing. Richard Childress decided to bring back the No.3 having his grandson Austin Dillion drive it and right now it looks like a great move. Dillion took the pole in the Daytona 500 with a run at 196.019 mph. Greg Biffle will start beside Dillion in a Ford which surprised a lot of people.

I will have to admit that I never seen this coming. Yes, Austin Dillion is a good race car driver, but I was surprised that he got the pole. This will just give more excitement to the Daytona 500. This could be one of the best ways to start the season. A win would top it off for Austin Dillion, but right now I bet he is happy with his results so far.

Does Carmelo Anthony Really Want To Stay In New York?/

Carmelo Anthony will have a tough decision to make soon and that is if he wants to stay with the Knicks or move on. Many people have many views on this as the truth is you really never know what a player will do until it happens. Anthony has said he would take less pay and wanted to retire as a New York Knick. By taking less money the Knicks could entertain more free agents, but that's if anyone wants to come to New York. Mike Woodson is the coach, but many feel he will not be there much longer. I like to think that he will be there long-term, but I just do not see it.

As far as Carmelo Anthony goes I think he loves playing in New York and for the Knicks. If he stays with the Knicks he is their best recruiting tool to get more players in New York. Anthony is one of the best players in the league and he does have some influence on today's players. It will be interesting to see if he can lure any free agents to New York. The Knicks are not playing well, but in reality they are really not that far away.

Lebron James Should Never End A Dunk Contest

Over the years many people have wanted King James to enter the slam dunk contest. There are a long list of reasons why he hasn't and many are valid points. I do have my theory on why it would be a waste of time for King James to enter. First and foremost he could probably win it pretty easy and then he would have to listen to the competition level was not that good. If he lost he would hear people say they knew he was not that good of a dunker. Lastly, it will not change people's opinion of him.

 LeBron James would be better off just to continue to skip the dunk contest. Like he has said before he is better as an in-game dunker then a contestant. No matter how much the fans would love to see him enter the reality is it will never happen. Enjoy King James on the court as that is the only time you will see him dunk.

Team USA Hockey Gets Dramatic Win Over Russia In Eight Round Shootout 3-2

It should not come as a surprise that Russia and the United States battled each other right down to the wire. These two hockey teams are talented and fans would expect no less. What maybe surprising is the way it end on T.J. Oshie shootout goal in the eighth round. Now this was a game that in retrospect the United States really needed. They could not afford a loss this early if they had dreams of Gold in this Olympic.

 The game had everything you want from great skating to awesome goal tending. It is a shame there had to be a loser in this one. Russia is talented and kept coming at the United States. The eight round shootout is something I would have never guess was possible, but it happened in these Olympics. I hope TEAM USA can keep up the good work.
