Here is the full ceremony: http://www.soxanddawgs.com/redsox/video/red-sox-honor-boston-marathon-victims-law-enforcement.html
all of them are pretty sweet.
Well this will now change as Boise State has decided not to come to the Big East after all. It's quite possible San Diego State might leave too. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8796807/boise-state-broncos-staying-mountain-west-conference-all
@QUSID My apologies. No idea why I put that in there. I should know better given how many people I know that went there.
Ironically enough, Cleveland was not one of the teams Steve picked but that's where Tito ended up.
Or maybe have Johnny Damon throw out it only to see Manny Ramirez pick it off from him.
I'm with @DeathOpie. It has to be the cryogenically frozen head of Ted Williams.
What about Kevin Costner to James Earl Jones
It must have been a buy three get one free day for Belichick.
From Steve:
Pittsburgh starter AJ Burnett will be out up to 12 weeks after having surgery on his face after being hit near the eye by a ball during bunting drills.
He hopes to be back around Memorial Day.
From Steve:
Cleveland's Grady Sizemore hurt his back and had surgery and is expected to miss 8-12 weeks. The Tribe will move Michael Brantley from LF to CF and possibly use Shelly Duncan or Ryan Spillbourghs in LF. You could also see Aaron Cunningham get some time with the club in the outfield.
From Steve:
Oakland 3B Scott Sizemore tore his ACL and will miss the 2012 season. Barring a trade the best in house replacement for the A's is Josh Donaldson.
The two sides have worked out a deal and all in Boston will be able to watch now.

Here's what Geno Auriemma had to say about them. Thanks to Rich Elliott of the CT Post for the quote
http://blog.ctnews.com/elliott/2012/01/25/doty-on-track-to-practice-friday-play-saturday/
“I haven’t seen them in person live,’’ Auriemma said. “I’ve just seen drawing and renderings of them. But from what I understand, from what people are saying, they’re unbelievable. I even got some messages from other coaches in the country and players, and anybody that’s seen them and said it’s unbelievable. They’ve never seen anything like it. I think anything that can cause a little bit of a ruckus. People are like, `Wow,’ good and bad. I think Nike’s always been at the forefront of that. They’ve always been really, really good at pushing the envelope a little bit and getting people to think differently about things. I think with this Platinum Elite, they’ve hit it right on the head. People are certainly thinking differently. I’m thrilled to be … us and Baylor I think are the only two teams on the women’s side that are doing this. And I think we’re the only school in America that has both their men’s and women’s teams doing this. So, yeah. Like my mother would say, ‘I lika da swoosh.’’’

Patriots will face the Giants in the Super Bowl
Obviously Bowden was wrong as the Yankees have signed Kuroda to a one year deal worth around $10 million.
Shockingly, I went 4-0 with my picks. Steve was 1-3.
__fc I honestly think both of their futures with Red Sox hinge on how long Big Papi is around. If this ends up being Papi's last year, Youk can move to the DH and Middlebrooks takes over at third.
However, if Big Papi stays for two years, if Youk is healthy like you said, he could be traded. It will be actually interesting to watch what Middlebrooks does with PawSox this season.
Of course if you read his postgame quotes, you'll see he was none too pleased with their effort.
