Philadelphia's Dion Waiters was chosen too high

A number of draft pundits have suggested that South Philadelphia's Dion Waiters was chosen too high. The Syracuse sophomore, who played his final two high school seasons at Burlington's Life Center, was taken No. 4 by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Too high? Not for the Cavs.

"I think we got a steal," coach Byron Scott told the media on draft night."

This is the second year the Cavs picked a player at No. 4 who was projected by mock draftologists to go lower. Last year it was 6-9 Texas freshman Tristan Thompson, who averaged 8.2 points in 23.7 minutes for the Cavs.

Woods, who would finish 7-over par and six shots

Woods, who would finish 7-over par and six shots off the winning score, immediately played himself out of contention, playing bogey golf early on. He was 6-over par on his first six holes and 10-over for the tournament, 11 shots out of the lead.

Meanwhile, up ahead of Woods playing the back nine was Mickelson, who never got it going all week — a week that began with Mickelson losing a ball on his first tee shot Thursday. That ended being a foreshadowing of things to come for his week.

"It was a challenging test,'' Mickelson said. "I didn't play well. If you played anything less than perfect golf it was extremely penalizing … and I played far from perfect.''

Guardiola was left wondering whether luck was simply

Guardiola was left wondering whether luck was simply against the club following a spectacular run of success that has brought 13 trophies since he took over in 2008.

"I have a feeling that sometimes football is like this. To be honest, I just think that this year was not our turn. This year, it seems like we couldn't do it and that's it.

"I am sorry if I am not very clear but I have a lot of emotions inside right now. Maybe in time I will see things more clearly. I don't even know how I feel really. I don't know what to tell the players about why they are not in the final Yes we are sad but it's not our saddest night."

The decision on whether to charge Zimmerman

"I can tell you we did not come to this decision lightly," Corey told a news conference in Jacksonville.

"Let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. We prosecute based on the facts of any given case as well as the laws of the state of Florida."

The decision on whether to charge Zimmerman, for the death of Martin, 17, had rested with Corey since she was appointed by Florida's governor on March 22.

The firestorm of protests forced Sanford's police chief to step aside and the regularly assigned prosecutor to remove himself from the case on March 22, leading to Corey's appointment.

O'Brien's philosophy entering the spring with his new team

Enter O'Brien, who led one of the NFL's best attacks last season as offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots and instructed a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Tom Brady.
O'Brien's philosophy entering the spring with his new team, one he has expressed often since being hired to succeed Paterno on Jan. 6, is that every job is open.
"It's a clean slate for everybody in this program," he said.
That means Matt McGloin, Rob Bolden, and Paul Jones all will get a chance to be No. 1.

Fisher had made no public statements since his surprising trade

Fisher had made no public statements since his surprising trade from the franchise he'd won five championships with. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak admitted that he hadn't given Fisher or his representatives a heads up that a trade was in the works, and that he understood if he was "emotional" over the situation.

"He may have caught wind of the rumor a day or two ago, but there was no heads up given," Kupchak said on Thursday. "It's not necessary, because a lot of times there's nothing to the rumors. How many times was one of our players traded in the last 10 days and it never took place? So you can't spend your time dispelling or confirming rumors.
