Headlines: The day after St. Patty Mills Day.

Note to the rest of the NIT field: Patty Mills is healthy after he dropped 27 points in a Gaels victory over the Washington State Cougars last night. Yeah, the same Cougars that play a lot of defense.

This matchup between St. Mary's and the Davidson Stephen Currys should be a fun treat for college basketball fans.

Without further delay here is our first round of Headlines for the day:

Obama nominates Steelers owner Dan Rooney the ambassador to Ireland. Wonder if he'll screw the Irish out of a Super Bowl too.

Our friends over at Tailgate 365.com seem to think the Denver Broncos are screwed after the whole Jay Cutler ordeal. I agree with them.

If you're an NBA fan with any sense of humor, you'll enjoy this t-shirt. If you're a Lakers fan, enjoy Adam Morrison.

Spokane County's Unemployment Rate is now a whopping 9.7 percent. Guess that means more people will have time to attend the Spokane Shock game tomorrow.

Seattle is going crazy for the debut of the Sounders. Because lets face it, the Sonics aren't around anymore. Casey will be at the game on Thursday while I watch from a bar somewhere hitting on Sasquatch.

Tom Brady is officially the new Apollo Creed before the fight in the first Rocky movie. Remember how he didn't train and just promoted? Any Pats fans worried about this upcoming season?

Brake for Bikes

I'll be the first to admit, I hate bike riders on the road. Anytime I see those two-wheeled contraptions while driving in my car, nothing but venom and the occasional "Chuck Norris your a**" reference comes out.

And let me rephrase that, most of the time, bicyclists are not a nuisance, when they're on the sidewalk or not cruising down a main lane on Division St. It's the guys who think they have just as much right to buzz around like motorized vehicles. Problem is, they don't exactly move as fast as vehicles, nor do they signal as efficiently as vehicles.

In fact, my main concern is not so much that I'll be stuck behind a bike, but rather the rider's insistence to weave back and forth in traffic like they own the place and otherwise create a very dangerous situation. You know for the most part where cars are going thanks to blinkers, you don't know what bike riders are going to do.

Now fellow blogger Jake Rehm is a bloody bike rider, but he understands how traffic goes and really how bikers shouldn't be out in the middle of it.

Here's a story by the Spokesman, on how Spokane wants to make more biking trails through the city and residential areas, which i think is great, but just putting a bike lane on residential streets is only going to make limited driving space (if you live on the South Hill, you know what I'm talking about) even more a commodity.

The main focus seems to be safety on that project though, and that's a good thing as some bike riders don't seem to be so focused on safety.
