It seems like we see a new major upset in college hoops every week. Call it the curse of No. 1 or something. Kentucky was the latest casualty and headlines the day\u2019s news.<\/p>\n
NCAA basketball news: South Carolina shocks Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, that\u2019s it for undefeated teams in Division-1 college hoops this season. Just one day after earning their first No. 1 national ranking since 2003, the Kentucky Wildcats suffered their first defeat of the 2009-10 season. South Carolina triumphed 68-62 at home on the strength of Devan Downey\u2019s 30 points. After the win, the Gamecocks guard repeatedly yelled \u201cI told you so\u201d\u2019; apparently, he predicted his team would slay the giant. That takes balls. I guess.<\/p>\n NFL news: Childress giving Favre long offseason leash<\/strong><\/p>\n Say what you want about Brad Childress\u2019 scary facial hair or his reported feud with Brett Favre during the 2009 season, but it seems the Vikings choice is making all the right moves so far this offseason. After Favre may have posted his career-best numbers this year, It seems he\u2019s earned the right to run his own soap opera yet again this offseason, as Childress explained yesterday that he won\u2019t give Favre a deadline to declare his 2010 status. The big winners here: Packer fans. Not only can they take sick pleasure in watching Favre make another team squirm all offseason, there\u2019s no guarantee Favre will get his legs back as a 40-year-old. MMA News: Sort Of…<\/strong><\/p>\n Though it\u2019s technically MMA news, here\u2019s a fun nugget for long-time NFL fans. Herschel Walker, considered the best college football player ever by many people and subject of the biggest trade in NFL history, will make his mixed martial arts debut at Strikeforce this weekend. He\u2019s 47 friggin\u2019 years old. Reportedly, though, his trainers claim he has the fitness and athleticism of a man 20 years younger. They insist this won\u2019t be Johnnie Morton or Jose Canseco all over again. We\u2019ll see, though it\u2019s hard to bet against the immense physical gifts of Mr. Walker.<\/p>\n MLB news: Sheets heads to Oakland; milk heads to Haiti<\/strong><\/p>\n They didn\u2019t exactly get a bargain-bin price at $10-million per year, but the Oakland A\u2019s may have found their next ace in Ben Sheets. They signed the former Brewer and first-round pick to a one-year deal after he sat out 2009 with elbow surgery. Sheets impressed scouts with a 92 pile-per-hour fastball and plenty of bend on his trademark curveball this offseason. This is a guy who once struck out 264 batters in one season and 18 in one game. Can\u2019t blame the A\u2019s for taking a chance here.<\/p>\n Staying true to his bizarre look, Bronson Arroyo made perhaps the strangest \u2013 and most useful \u2013 donation to Haiti relief yet. He sent approximately 10,000 containers of OneSource milk there. The product has protein in it and can last up to a year even in the heat. Well, good for Bronson. If he puts the same amount of thought into facing hitters in Cincinnati this year, he could have a second straight strong year.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Wednesday’s January 27th, 2010.
