We've reached the dull part of the NFL offseason. Free agency and the draft are in the past, training camp is still more than two months away and there's only so much "news" that will come out of rookie mini camps and OTAs.

Week 1: Washington at New Orleans The Redskins mortgaged the future to grab a franchise quarterback in the draft so this will likely be the debut of Robert Griffin III. It will also be the first look at the shorthanded Saints after the bounty hunting program came to light.

Bad news if you're a New York Yankees hater. Kentucky's win in Monday's national championship pretty much guarantees that the Yankees are destined to win the World Series this year.

We're one day into the NCAA Tournament and already madness is all around. Western Kentucky pulled off one of the all time great comebacks by erasing a 16 point deficit in the final five minutes. Comebacks are nothing new to the Hilltoppers who overcame second half double digit deficits twice in the Sun Belt tournament.

Power conference tournaments have begun and in all six major conferences there are bubbles that will burst over the next three days. Already it looks like Seton Hall is in trouble while other bubble teams like Texas, Oregon and Mississippi State face can't-lose games today. Here's my stab at the field as of Thursday afternoon:

Small and mid-major conference tournaments are underway and Selection Sunday is in a week and half. Below are the teams that I think are a lock (a lock being defined as a team that would be in the field even if they lose all remaining games) for the NCAA Tournament:

With the Super Bowl in the rear view mirror teams are beginning to stack up their draft boards in anticipation of next week's Scouting Combine. The first round draft order is set with the exception of two ties that will be broken with a coin flip at the Combine. After that we await the compensatory picks to be awarded and the entire draft order will be set. Here are a few other items if note:

Welcome to the biggest day of the college basketball regular season. It's actually the biggest and busiest. The reason? No one wants to play during the Super Bowl so just about everybody schedules a game for the day before.

All day long people were asking me if I saw the Pro Bowl on Sunday. The answer for me is always no. I spent a good chunk of Sunday evening watching "Scrubs" and college basketball. For those who saw it the reaction was something like "I gotta say, it was pretty lousy."

If there's any upside to the Packers exit from the playoffs it's that we've got a stress free weekend of football watching. So who am I rooting for? Well since I've been branded a "hater" for keeping it real regarding players like Tim Tebow I had to use a process of elimination. It basically comes down to the team that bothers me the least.

With four teams remaining here's a look at the NFL Draft order through the divisional round of the playoffs. Unfortunately for the Packers the offseason begins a few weeks too early and due to the early exit Green Bay will select 28th.

New Orleans is the place to be this weekend with two big games over a space of three days. It begins tonight with the Lions-Saints NFC Wild Card in a game that will go a long way in shaping up the Super Bowl race. The general thinking is New Orleans is the biggest threat to the Packers and a huge question will be can Detroit perform well in the spotlight? So far the answer has been no. Thus a Detroit win should be both a surprise and a relief to Packers fans.
