Theismann loses expert cred: ESPN chief annoyance Joe Theismann fell to 2-4 picking playoff games over the past two weeks, while RandBall somehow improved to 6-0. Paul Maguire’s take: Did you see those picks? Bam! Right there.

Wolves routed: Playing without Ricky Davis, suspended for being a clown, and Kevin Garnett, suspended for his slap party with Antonio McDyess, Minnesota didn’t have much of a chance against the Suns. Then again, even with those two, we wouldn’t really like their chances against this guy.

Tomlin is gone: Mike Tomlin, perhaps the biggest bright spot for the Vikings this past season, is the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Again, we will borrow from Anchorman: That really escalated quickly. The guy is only 34. We put together a list of five other football coaching loves we lost for the Newspaper of the Twin Cities today (it’s on the right hand side of the linked page). Where does Tomlin rank? We’d have to say he’s in the same ballpark as Scott Linehan. Your thoughts?
