What to Watch For
(02/27/12 4:00am)
Vince Marriott: Basketball just had its All-Star Game and hockey playoff races are heating up, but all I care about this week is the NFL Combine. While its premise college athletes getting tested in repetitive, mundane ways may not attract most people, those of us who have played football understand the significance of what these athletes are accomplishing and can only watch in awe. To most, a quarterback running a "4.41 in the 40" means nothing, but to a football fan, the time Robert Griffen III ran during his workout boggles the mind and makes all of the mediocre times worth sitting through. Likewise, watching men bigger than your car bench four times the weight you do also provides somewhat of a thrill. Still, I'm partial to speed, which is why I'll be watching the defensive backs go through their tests on Tuesday on the NFL Network. (Tuesday, 7 p.m., NFL Network).

Other than marking the halfway point of the season albeit a shortened, 66-game schedule the NBA All-Star Weekend represents a moment for players, coaches and team management to analyze how a team has performed thus far. Trades will soon start happening as teams realize a need for a certain position or playmaker. Yet, this past weekend, the focus was on the accomplishments of the superstars and the skills they have displayed through the first half of the season.

What to Watch For

Vince Marriott: Fine, I'll admit it the NBA has been awesome this season. My least favorite of the four major sports has finally proven that it can be carried by more than just four or five elite athletes running isolation plays down the court every time. Linsanity, the crushing dominance of the Miami Heat and Khloe Kardashian in Dallas have all given me something to watch for. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Lakers will travel to the aforementioned Dallas to take on the Mavericks in what should be a great duel between two of the top teams in the Western Conference. Look for Dirk Nowitzki to continue his streak of average basketball playing it's been a rough season for the German superstar. (Wednesday, 9 p.m., ESPN).

Last week, as I was writing my column about New York Knicks starting point guard Jeremy Lin and the chokehold he has on the New York fan base, a question popped into my head. Why, as sports fans, do we become so infatuated with Cinderella stories? During this past NFL season, the story of the year was Denver Broncos starting quarterback Tim Tebow, who shell-shocked the world by racking up victories in surprising fashion. A few weeks ago, Lin became America's sweetheart by coming out of nowhere and leading the Knicks to several victories, while scoring the most points by any player in NBA history in his first eight starts.
