win that one. i tell you what, this team has no reason to be confident after this one. for my take this morning, lets do some quick takes. i want to get your thoughts on these subjects. first of all, we remember this. this was the warriors bench on sunday after that embarrassing loss to the lakers. they were back to confident war owes late night against the magic. the big guy starts celebrating before he takes the shot. he nailed it. talk about arrogant, you name it. the warriors still have not they have 45 straight wins at home. confident. the only way to stop this behavior is if you beat them for the title. im not sure that can be done. nfl news, the redskins are done with robert griffin, iii after using the second pick on him. rg3 had a good rookie season but never panned out after that. so the browns are linked to every quarterback story because they desperately need one. i would not give rg3 too many injury. hes been unreliable. they need to draft the right one. lovie smith just got hired and he brings thats been a problem for illinois. players want a pass to the nfl. lovie can use that as a recruiting tool after those years with the bears and buccs. the big 10 compared to the sec, then the conference top to bottom, especially the bottom has to get better. and you do that with big name coaches like urban, harbaugh, and lovie smith. i applaud illinois going out and getting him. it was a story that didnt get a lot of attention, but the big 10 got better. tweet me your thoughts at wkyc. thank you. its march the 8th. were talking springtime. it feels like were
