UConn’s women’s basketball team beat Florida State today, and in the process broke the record for most wins by a team in College Basketball history. The previous record was UCLA men’s basketball team in the early 70′s. Maya Moore for UConn had 41 points and 10 rebounds in the win.
Headlining the transition from pre-season to regular season, Matt Leinart has been released by the Cardinals. Also, Big Ben Roethlisberger had his suspension reduced to 4 games.
Can’t say I’m too surprised at either of these big headlines, but for the Cardinals, you better find a QB quick, because we know Kurt Warner isn’t coming back. For the Steelers, they wanted to reduce Ben’s suspension to 3 games because of Byron Leftwich being out 2-4 weeks. But that didn’t happen, especially with Roger Goodell and his messed up head. Ben isn’t charged with anything but yet, how many players get absolutely nothing with DUI’s this year? Why hasn’t Cedric Benson or Michael Vick gotten suspended for their misbehavior this off-season?
In other NFL news, Sam Bradford will be the starting QB for the Rams, Willie Parker has been released from the Redskins, and Ed Reed will start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Regular Season kicks off Thursday with the Saints facing the Minnesota Vikings.

That’s right, the same guy who got suspended for 8 games in college for punching a Boise State player when he was in the University of Oregon. But, this time it’s not really a big deal. Of course the media might make a big deal out of it, but Titan’s coach Jeff Fisher did not think too much of it.
Fisher went on to say, “his past is his past. Is that the first punch you’ve seen in camp this year? No. I’m not disappointed whatsoever. I have great confidence in the young man that he learned from his mistake, and he’s very competitive. That’s why we brought him in here is to watch him run the football like that.”
LeGarrette just better make sure he doesn’t continue to show sparks of violence like this, because in the NFL, it won’t be pretty. He will probably land on the Raiders or Bengals if he does…

Today is the first day of pre-season football. Catch the Cowboys play the Bengals in the NFL’s annual Hall-of-Fame Game. It is the first time T.O. will go against his former Cowboy team. Yes it is pre-season, but it sure has felt like a really long time since last season ended.
What will be interesting to watch is the new tandem of T.O. and OchoCinco. The Bengals got to get T.O. used to the offense, and learn how to play with another selfish player who wants the ball just as much as he does.
For the Bengals they have a good set of rookie’s to look for:
TE Jermaine Gresham, DE Carlos Dunlap, WR Jordan Shipley, WR Dezmon Briscoe
For the Cowboys they really only have one exciting player in Dez Bryant. But he will not be playing because he is injured.
