The first journalist to make the move from print to online-only was Mike Monroe. He was ahead of his time. Few remember Monroe’s stint as the national columnist for Fox Sports, and even fewer probably remember the circumstances of his departure — it came out of nowhere, the folks at Fox believing it was a bad idea to have an online national columnist — a decision that was patently absurd in hindsight, but a decision that Fox has never rectified.

I always get a kick at this time of year when a team when a deadbolt lock lottery pick is bounced early in the NCAA Tournament. We already saw Duke (Jabari Parker) upset in the first round. And yes, it was the first round, despite what the NCAA wants you to believe. Kansas (Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid) went down in the second round.

The Philadelphia 76ers will only share a piece of the record book, rather than having it all to themselves. By scoring 70 first-half points on their way to a 123-98 blowout of the totally disinterested Detroit Pistons here last night, the Sixers avoided the ignominy of owning professional sports’ all-time losing streak.

LAKERS TARGETING KEVIN LOVE ESPNLosAngeles.com’s Dave McMenamin: Timberwolves president Flip Saunders will do everything he can to keep Love, who is fourth in the league in scoring at 26.3 points per game and third in rebounding at 12.6 per game this season. And Minnesota will have the advantage of being able to offer a five-year extension, versus a four-year deal from any other team. But if Love makes it clear that he has no intention to re-up with the Wolves, Saunders will be
