Awesome triple OT performance out of D-Wade last night. I missed most of the game due to the fact I went to see The Watchmen. Who watches the Watchmen? I watch em. What a great flick. The story stayed true to the novel and I found alot of the dialogue was word for word from the novel. I highly recommend seeing the movie and if you haven’t read the novel, check that out before you see the movie. Anyways, here is the link dump for Sunday.

• D-Wade and Lebron James seem to go back and forth every night trying to outdo one another. In last night’s victory, D-Wade wanted that triple double. At the same time he set the Heat’s all time scoring lead by passing Alonzo Mourning when he hit 20 points.

Mourning talked to Wade after the game, and the recently retired center praised Wade: ”He’s been proud of me, period, but he said if anyone was going to break it, he wanted it to be me,” Wade said.

• The Panthers may have inspired a city with a playoff run but poor shootout play this season has doomed the Panthers in talking that next step towards a top hockey team. It was apparent in last nights shootout loss to the Lightning. Florida has lost three in a row for the first time since the end of 2008. The Panthers have given up third-period leads in two of those games and are 24-1-3 when leading after two periods.
• Hey look Dolphins fans. The Patriots made yet another shrewd move in making themselves the “Team to Beat” in the AFC East this year by signing veteran wide receiver Joey Galloway. I’m sure he will find a way to torch or corner backs. Hey, we signed Eric Green.
• The Puerto Rico whipped out the mercy rule on Team USA last night at Dolphin stadium. Continuing their torrid run from Round 1, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and a potent Puerto Rico lineup took turns bashing San Diego’s 2007 Cy Young Award winner in a game that needed the mercy rule to stop the American’s bleeding. 11-1 was the final score.
• I never wish for a guy to lose his job, but I have wished for a while this New Yorker would shut his mouth. 790 The Ticket has dropped morning host Sid Rosenberg, several industry officials said Friday afternoon. Station manager Howard Davis declined to explain Rosenberg’s departure but said it has nothing to do with drugs, alcohol or gambling.
