Morning: Billy Donovan hates his team

After its horrible, season-crushing loss to Alabama in the SEC tournament, Florida coach Billy Donovan threw his team completely under the bus. Money quote: "I'm not excited about these freshmen becoming sophomores."

Louisville coach Rick Pitino went the other way when asked about his team's bad loss in its conference tournament opener. He threw the reporter under the bus.

UConn coach Jim Calhoun, meanwhile, put the loss for his team's atrocious Big East tournament loss right where it belongs: on the players. Because that abomination sure wasn't his fault.

It's a great question: When the Brett Favre movie comes out -- and you know a Brett Favre movie will come out -- who plays the starring role? Twenty years ago it would have been Dennis Kevin Costner.

Marcus Stroud got busted for steroid use -- he blames a supplement (har har) -- and nobody in Buffalo seems to be angry about it. Nobody but this guy.

A "funk" has cost Chris Duhon his place in Chicago, and given the way his career has gone, maybe his place in the NBA. It's not like this guy was very good.

The Nets hired Kiki Vandeweghe to be a telemarketer. Apparently he's not bad at it.

Channing Frye says Sacramento is a rat-infested town full of homeless people. Frye being the softy that he is, he determined one sleeping citizen was homeless by opening his fancy flip phone and letting the illumination shine on the homeless guy. Nice.

It's been awhile since Scott Boras has screwed up, so here's the latest chapter: This pitcher wanted four years and $40 million. He got a whole lot less.

Daniel Cabrera is tired of being asked about his control problems? Yo, Danny boy. Orioles fans are tired of watching it.

This seems to be a first: An MMA belt holder is pulling out of a title bout to enter himself into a substance abuse program.

Scott Boras is a bad guy

Everyone seems to think so, even Gary Sheffield and presumably Alex Rodriguez.

If you will recall, A-Rod maneuvered around Boras this offseason to get his deal done with the Yankees after Boras botched the process so badly that A-Rod was villified for opting out of his contract.

Now this. Now Sheffield, who has a big mouth and a wild side of his own, is coming out and calling Boras a bad person. He says he will have lots more to add after his grievance with Boras is settled.

Neither Boras nor Sheffield cuts a particularly sympathetic figure, but I'll take Sheffield every time. Sheffield's biggest problem is he's too honest, whereas Boras' biggest problem is he's ... not.

More bad pub for Boras. I love it. That's OK, right?
