Are you kidding me? DeMario Anderson hit a three point shot from half court tonight as Quinnipiac beat Central. The best part of the play came after it went in the hoop. Anderson led his team off the court into the locker room. Only one problem. It was his old locker room from when he played for Central.

What a moment, what a shot. We've all practiced it at the gym and in the driveway a thousand times. But how may people do it to win a game against their old college team? Bring on the Madness that is March.

With the Oscars on tonight, I thought it only fitting to talk movies. So here are my top 10 sports movies of all-time. These are my favorites, so if you are looking for "Raging Bull" you won't see it here because unfortunately I have never seen that movie yet (but I did just record it on my DVR last night). Also, note that I left off "Bull Durham" which I think is just the most overrated sports movie of all-time. I find it corny at times, and the sports action is very unrealistic looking especially with the Tim Robbins character. So without further ado, here is my list and let the debate begin:

10. Slap Shot: I'm just happy these Hanson Brothers don't sing "Mmm Bop"

9. Eight Men Out: A decent baseball movie with a good authentic look to the time period of the 1919 Black Sox

8. Caddyshack: How many movies are still hilarious 30 years later? Not many, but this one does stand the test of time.

7. Major League: Caddyshack is probably a better movie than Major League, but I have quoted this movie probably more than any other, so I gave it the edge.

6. Field of Dreams: This is a popular one to have at the top of many lists. "Field of Dreams" still brings tears to my eyes during the greatest father-son moment in movie history, "Dad, you wanna have a catch?". Do yourself a favor and read the book that this is based on, W.P. Kinsella's "Shoeless Joe".

5. Pride of the Yankees: Gary Cooper looks just like Lou Gehrig, except for one notable exception...Gehrig was a lefty and Cooper was a righty. Interesting piece of movie trivia for you: Cooper wore a backwards number 4 and batted right handed during filming. Then in the editing room they flipped the negative so it appeared that Cooper was batting left handed. Hall of Famers Babe Ruth and Bill Dickey appeared as themselves in the film as well.

4. The Karate Kid: I love this movie. It is probably my all-time favorite movie about and from the 80's. What kid didn't think they could learn karate and take out the school bully. For a serious Karate Kid fan, check out this website: www.sweeptheleg.com It is a video by a band called No More Kings, and they bring back nearly the entire cast of the movie to show Johnny's side of the story. William Zabka who plays Johnny Lawrence in the movie directed the video.

3. Rocky: Has there been a better soundtrack in the history of movies besides the songs that have appeared throughout this franchise. I am just putting the original "Rocky" on this list, but if I had to rank all 6 of the Rocky movies it would go in this order: Rocky, Rocky IV, Rocky II, Rocky Balboa, Rocky III, Rocky V.

2. Hoosiers: Growing up, my brother, father, and I would always watch this movie right before the NCAA Tournament started. It has everything; great old-time basketball, father and sons, and a tremendous Hollywood ending. I'll be watching this one again in the coming weeks.

1. The Natural: This is by far my favorite sports movie of all-time. The first time I ever saw it, my dad surprised us with a rented copy from the library and we were immediately mesmerized. The baseball action and emotions are so real. It is a fantasy story somewhat, but I loved that the fictitious New York Knights played in the real National League. Many things that happen in the movie are based on real events (like Roy Hobbs wanting to walk down the street and be referred to as the greatest ever...Ted Williams said that). What is surprising is that the book by Bernard Malamud that the film is based on, has a different ending...and I'll leave it at that.

Andy Pettitte was a stopper today. He stopped many of us from questioning his integrity.

The Yankees lefthander didn't bring his fastball. He certainly didn't throw curveballs. But he had the best control of his life. Pettitte answered question after question about his use of hgh (human growth hormone). And through it all, Pettitte said something so few people in this whole mess in baseball have been able to say: I'm sorry.

Andy, you are foregiven by me. You made a mistake. You admitted it. And now we can all move on. I wish others would understand that sometimes in life it really is that simple: "I am sorry." In my book, it still goes a long way. I generally get more mad at my kids for not telling the truth than for whatever they did wrong. Fortunately, they are very honest and have very little to hide.

Andy Pettitte is different. He had everything to hide. That is why I was so impressed with his honesty.

Andy Pettitte may have failed his fans in some ways as a role model. I am certainly not excusing his poor judgement in using hgh. But to me, he became a role model by showing that he is far more human than human growth hormone.

Who is cleaning up more these days? The UConn Men or Gerry Brooks. No, our fearless lead anchor can't boast an 8 game winning streak or a top 25 ranking, but how many anchors are as versatile as Gerry?

Two nights ago, Gerry showed us all what kind of team player he can be. Call it a Craig Austrie moment. No, he didn't come down to the sports office and play lock down "d" on me as Austrie did last night on Notre Dame. But Gerry literally made us see the light.

Noticing that three of our sports monitors (fancy word for mini tv's---and I mean mini) were dusty, Gerry stepped up. No, he didn't sink a last second three pointer with the shot clock winding down like Stanley Robinson last night against Notre Dame. Nor did he wipe away an Irish comeback as Hasheem Thabeet did when he blocked a three point attempt late. Nor did he clean the boards like Jeff Adrien. But Gery did clean our monitors! That deserves a, "are you kidding me!"

Yes, the ultimate act of anchor kindness: Gerry Brooks, glass cleaner in hand, taking it upon himself to spray and wipe down our monitors. Ron Burgundy has nothing on you, big guy. Every time I stare at your Red Sox now on those little tv's in the sports office, I will think of you--our jack of all trade's anchor. The Tony Phillips of local tv.

The Huskies may still be flying a bit under the radar. But Gerry, your performance is an instant classic. You are the George Mason of your craft---coming out of nowhere to provide the unexpected. Thanks!

My apologies. It has taken me nine full days to process the Giants win over the Patriots. In many ways, I still can't believe it.

When you are at a major sporting event like a Super Bowl as a reporter, it is much different than being a fan. You have major deadline pressure to deal with and it's hard to totally relish the moment. But I must say, as a lifelong Giants fan, whose Dad had season tickets, it was a bit surreal being down on the field next to Giants players holding the Lombardi Trophy. I totally expected that piece of hardware to be hoisted by the Patriots.

I have had some Giants fans ask how I possibly could have picked the Pats to win. Well, lets see...they were 18-0! Please. As much as the Giants improved and as well as they played in the Super Bowl, you can't convince me (still) that they are a better team than the Pats. But they were in Super Bowl XLII, and that is all that matters.

Patriots fans can dissect the end of the game and some of the breaks the Giants got. But the bottom line is this: The Giants made the big plays when they were needed (see David Tyree catch above!). The Pats did not.

And how bout those Huskies! I guess Jim Calhoun still knows how to coach, Connecticut. This popular notion of a weeks ago that somehow the hall of fame coach could not connect with today's players seems as ridiculous as the once widely held belief that the Giants could not put any pressure on Tom Brady. Big Blue sacked Brady 5 times and Coach Calhoun is sacking his critics 5 times over.

With a big time point guard in AJ Price and a big man in the middle like Hasheem Thabeet, the Huskies can beat anyone. I am not suggesting that National Championship number three is on the way in 2008. But if all of these guys come back, watch out for another ring in 2009. For now, all I am saying is that on any given night or day come NCAA Tournament time, the Huskies are capable of playing with Memphis, North Carolina, Duke or any of the other teams that may get number one seeds. At the least, it's fun to see these kids winning. They sure took their share of lumps over the last season and a half.

By the way, I still don't know how David Tyree caught that ball!

1. The '72 Dolphins are still the only team that can be labeled PERFECT (have I mentioned I'm a Dolphins fan!)

2. Everything is back to normal with New York beating Boston again

3. Belichick lost

4. Patriot fans were really starting to become arrogant (Remeber when Boston fans used to and still do accuse New York fans of that?)

5. Jeter has more titles than Brady

6. I like Tom Coughlin and his energy

7. It was good to see some New York moxy from Plaxico Burress be fulfilled

8. Seeing ex-Dolphin Wes Welker win a title would have been painful, especially if he got Super Bowl MVP

9. A parade through the Canyon of Heroes is much more dramatic than seeing players on Duck Boats near the Charles River

10. Bob Kraft...nuff said!

11. A Boston newspaper was already taking orders for a book titled "19-0"

12. Because I would rather save a Boston title for Ray Allen and the Celtics

13. The Giants used to call Yale Bowl home

14. Because I believe that Belchick has cheated with his Spygate antics

15. I find the Patriots lack of information to the press and public very annoying

16. The underdog story is always more exciting

17. The overuse of the word "perfect" in the coming weeks to describe the Pats would have been nausiating

18. Mercury Morris can still give relevant sound bites every year!

I will make this short and sweet with the game just about ready to kickoff...I am picking the Giants to win 30-28.

I am hoping to be sipping champagne with Don Shula and the Dolphins tonight!
