He asked for a trade. The Denver QB was upset by a number of things, including the way that the team took a good long look at current Chiefs QB Matt Cassel when he got traded from the Patriots, despite the fact that Cutler is arguably better. But the kicker was a meeting that went poorly with coach Josh McDaniels. “So, I get it, really, it’s a business,” Cutler said. “I’m disappointed beause I love being a Bronco but I think it’s run its course.” source
It’s so new to everybody up here that we’ve been bombarded by fans asking about who we’re going to play. It’s a learn-as-you-go process.
Saul Phillips • Coach of North Dakota State, who made the tourney in its first year of eligibility after winning the Summit League title on Tuesday. Many of the seniors redshirted their first year on the off-chance that this would happen. So it’s kind of like a dream, or something. They’re 14th-seeded and taking on 3rd-seeded Kansas. • source
The mis-seeded The whole killer Big East thing came at the cost of at least two killer No. 2 seeds, Duke and Memphis. Both won their conference finals and both are noted programs with long histories. But they only got a 2 seed. WTF, selection committee? source

The slighted St. Mary’s, San Diego State and Penn State did pretty good this season yet didn’t make the dance. St. Mary’s only lost six games but were done in by a harsh loss to Gonzaga in their conference final. Now they get the chance for NIT, uh, glory. source

The surprises Syracuse got a fairly high 3 seed after proving its awesomeness in the Big East tourney, and Arizona made its 25th straight tourney despite having a pretty mediocre record. Essentially, Arizona best not run into St. Mary’s in a dark alleyway. source
I mean, we were just celebrating, honestly. There was probably two or three people there I didn’t know. It was a very small group.
Michael Phelps • In an interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer, on the bong-smoking incident that lost him endorsement deals and tarnished his image. He said the endorsement deals weren’t that big a deal to him. He sidestepped the “Was it pot?” question, by the way. • source
