Green Bay Packers legend Bart Starr spoke at the Paul Hornung Award dinner tonight. He was my childhood hero and I wore his jersey number at St. Stephen Martyr elementary. We won two Toy Bowl championships and I never ever dreamed I would meet him and tell him how much he's meant to me. What a great moment. Thanks, Bart. You and Paul Hornung are still the greatest. Go Pack!

Louisville's Russ Smith leads the Harlem Shake following a Valentine's victory over St. John's. A big win over Wisconsin sent Minnesota coach Tubby Smith dancing through the locker room. Awesome.

Johnny Carson earns Rat Pack street cred
In the mid-60s, Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack were on top of the world. The Chairman, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin were joined on a St. Louis stage with NBC "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson who, stepping way out of character, actually sang with the other guys.

Prayers for Nerlens
The University of Kentucky's sensational freshman center Nerlens Noel banged his knee on the edge of the goal support and went down in severe pain.

It's complete and hundreds of walkers, runners, cyclists, and pet owners are all using it daily. No skateboards. The only problem? Idiots are letting their dogs crap on the bridge and walking away without cleanup duty. (duty---see what I did there?) Solution? Take photos of people allowing their dogs to crap on this expensively refurbished treasure. Post the photos on social networks for Dog Owner Shaming and see if this curtails this unsanitary, thoughtless lack of concern for the taxpayers who created this destination.
We love L.A.
