Kentucky basketball fans who don't have a horse left in the NBA playoff race certainly support Tayshaun Prince over Rajon Rondo.Tayshaun Prince is a posterboy for staying in school and finishing a solid college career. Not only did he earn a degree, but he improved his game each of the four years he was there. He posted great numbers in his senior season (17 PPG, 6 RPG) and put together an incredible stat line against Tulsa in the NCAA tournament (41 points, 9 boards, 14-of-21 shooting).Rajon Rondo isn't exactly the posterboy for leaving early, but who can argue with the situation he is in now. After a mediocre season (11 PPG, 5 APG) Rondo left the Wildcats for the Celtics, where he is now in contention for an NBA title.Surrounded by superstars, he is in a perfect position as a role player/point guard. Still, his game, and his decision to leave Kentucky early, leave much to be desired for Wildcats basketball fans. No matter how much you like watching Prince and Rondo play into June, it is still just one more reminder that UK Basketball is only four-and-a-half months away. .

With their signing of journeyman Michael Pittman, Mike Shanahan and the Denver Broncos have reiterated once more that they can never have too many running backs.Pittman played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season (he was also the starter on their 2002 Superbowl team) and will most likely be the Broncos third down running back this season.The move comes after Travis Henry was banged up during quarterback camps with a pulled hamstring.
Pittman was one of a few good veteran running backs still available.While former MVP Shaun Alexander is still available his contract and running style probably did not fit the role the Broncos were looking for. Throughout his career Pittman has been a very consistent and dependable back; averaging four yards per carry. He’s also a formidable receiving threat, and should help a third down offense that struggled last year.Could this move be the one that puts the Broncos back on the map?.
