This Week on Buzz Kill, March 5 ed.

- Georgetown. A little before the midway point in the season, the Hoyas cracked the top ten. Now barely hovering above .500, John Thompson's squad may not even qualify for the NIT. Oops.

-Allen Iverson. The Piston's only regret the Chauncy Billups trade when AI is healthy and in the starting line-up.

-N.Y. Mets. Rebounding from a 7-10 record to close out September and blow the division, again, ace Johan Santana, who went 4-0 down the stretch, is going to be out until after opening day. Any takers on him not making it through a full season?...Mets go 3-14 to finish 2009 if Santana isn't there.

-Sidney Crosby. Since Alexander the Great put Crosby in his place last weekend, Sid the Kid's yet to play in a game. How can Pittsburgh fans like this guy? You appreciate tough and physical bad asses. Crosby's delicate style would better fit the Lakers.

-Shaquille O'Neal. Who cares that you're the original Superman of the NBA? This flop made Vlade Divac shed a tear as he fondly recalled, "What starts with a 'c' and ends with a 't'?"

-Barry Bonds. Got a few months to kill before he goes to trial, so Barry figured he would beg all 30 teams to take him back and hopefully one would sign him. Not happening. However, Bonds' plans for after his legal dealings: consulting cyclists worldwide about how to explain and rationalize using any illegal performance enhancements. There's a looooooooong section on delaying and disrupting the American court system even when everyone already knows the truth.
