Ohio State’s Thaddeus Gibson drafted by Pittsburgh Steelers in fourth round
After a restless night, Ohio State defensive end/linebacker Thaddeus Gibson, a Euclid High grad, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round this morning with the No. 116 overall pick.
Brad Cicala, Gibson’s agent, said this morning he believed going into the draft Gibson would go in rounds two through four but thought he was more likely to go from the late second round to the middle of the third. So there was some consternation in the Gibson camp when he was still undrafted when the third round ended Friday night.

But after making several calls this morning, Cicala felt secure that Gibson wouldn’t slide past New Orleans with the last pick in the fourth round, though he was hoping the Saints would trade up to get him. Pittsburgh also had been looking hard at Gibson before the draft, and the Steelers’ 3-4 defense should provide a great fit for Gibson’s potential skills as an outside linebacker.

Playing the Leo defensive end position at Ohio State, Gibson rushed the passer and dropped into coverage, doing the things that should fit that outside linebacker spot.

“He’ll learn from the best, and we’re happy about that,” Cicala said. “We wish he could have gone a little higher. But that’s kind of the way it goes sometimes.”

Gibson, at 6-foot-2 and 243 pounds, is similar in size to the Steelers’ starting outside linebackers, James Harrison (6-0, 242 pounds) and LaMarr Woodley (6-2, 265), so he’ll fit the system. There isn’t an immediate need there, but it’s easy to imagine Gibson contributing on special teams from the start while biding his time as a backup. He’ll also have immediate competition within this draft class – the Steelers drafted outside linebacker Jason Worilds, a 6-1, 254-pounder, in the second round.

India vs South Africa, Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag, Follow on in Cricket, India South Africa, NAGPUR, India: Virender Sehwag cracked a fine century under pressure before South Africa hit back to reduce India to 221-4 at tea on the third day of the first Test on Monday.

Watch Live Cricket

The explosive opener hit 15 fours in his 109-run knock and shared 136 runs for the fourth wicket with debutant Subramaniam Badrinath after India were reeling at 56-3 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association stadium in Nagpur.

Sehwag was dismissed shortly after reaching his 18th Test century when he sliced a wide-ish delivery from paceman Wayne Parnell (1-31) to cover where Jean-Paul Duminy took a well-judged catch.

Badrinath (56 not out) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (six) were the two not out batsmen at the break.

India faced an uphill task of saving the match as they trail South Africa by 337 runs with six wickets in hand, with another 138 runs needed to avoid the follow-on.

The Indians would have been in deeper trouble but for Badrinath and Sehwag, who batted with a mix of caution and aggression during his 139-ball knock.

Badrinath overcame a nervous start to complete his half-century off 123 balls and had hit seven fours so far.

He proved a perfect foil for Sehwag, who twice hit Morne Morkel (1-58) for fours and did not spare Dale Steyn (2-48) either.

Replying to South Africa’s first innings 558-6 declared, India were off to a disastrous start, losing their three top-order wickets inside the first hour.

Steyn got rid of Sachin Tendulkar (seven) and Murali Vijay (four) after Morkel had dismissed Gautam Gambhir (12) to reduce the hosts to 119-3 at lunch.

Gambhir, coming into the series with eight centuries in his last 11 Tests, was out off the first ball he faced when he was caught by wicketkeeper Mark Boucher after poking at an away-going delivery.

Vijay, playing only his fourth Test, was surprised by a searing delivery from Steyn that moved in off the seam to clip his off-stump.

Steyn struck again within five overs when he had Tendulkar caught by Boucher. Tendulkar tried to drive but ended up offering an outside edge.

The second and final Test between the world’s top two teams begins in Kolkata on February 14.

South Africa can snatch back the number one Test ranking from India if they win the series while the hosts need just a draw to remain on top.

Saints Win Super Bowl

Saints Win Super Bowl, The NFL’s New Orleans Saints wrapped up an impressive 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts to clinch their first ever Super Bowl, and thus, causing Bourbon Street to explode in pandemonium. But thousands of miles away here on the left coast in Los Angeles, many USC football fans joined the “Who Dat Nation” in celebration as former Trojan running back Reggie Bush played a role in the team’s victory.

But even with so many members of the Trojan Family celebrating Bush’s contribution toward the Saints’ Super Bowl win, I can’t help but sit back and laugh. Personally, I would consider myself a fan of the Heisman Trophy winner. After growing up a USC football fan in Los Angeles while watching the Trojans real off 34 straight victories with Bush in the backfield, how could I not be? But nevertheless, the fact that so many Trojan fans are running around Southern California proclaiming that “Reggie won the Super Bowl” is a tad bit misleading.

In all honesty, Bush was hardly a factor in the game. There were no breathtaking punt returns. No breakaway touchdown runs. No highlight reel jukes. By all accounts, it was a rather vanilla performance by number twenty-five, and you don’t have to go further than the stat sheet to understand that.

Vikings Vs Saints Score

Vikings Vs Saints Score, Drew Brees helped the New Orleans Saints score the most points in the NFL before leading his team to a convincing 31-point win in the playoffs.

Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings produced the league’s second-highest point total before he guided his team to its own 31-point postseason victory.

The quarterbacks meet Sunday in a marquee NFC championship matchup at the Superdome – where Favre won his lone Super Bowl title 13 years ago.

New Orleans started 13-0 and used Brees’ NFL-leading 34 touchdowns to earn the top seed in the NFC for the first time. The Saints (14-3) have never been to the Super Bowl and made their lone NFC championship appearance three years ago in a loss at Chicago.

Brees threw for three touchdowns and 247 yards last Saturday in a 45-14 win over Arizona that seemed to erase the sting of a season-ending three-game skid.

“We all see the team that won 13 games in a row, not the team that struggled against the Cowboys and let one get away from us against Tampa,” Brees said.

Brees’ impressive season seems to have been overshadowed by Favre, who finished with 33 touchdowns after opting to come out of retirement and join Minnesota (13-4). The 40-year-old seemed to be fading down the stretch as the Vikings lost three of five, much as he did last season with the Jets.

Reggie Bush And kim Kardashian

Are Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian getting engaged? Maybe if Reggie’s team wins the Super Bowl!

Kim reportedly made a bet with Reggie that if The New Orleans Saints goes on to win the Superbowl this year, Reggie will finally propose to her. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star reportedly dished about the bet during a radio interview on the Citadel Interactive morning radio show this week.

It’s no wonder Kim was extra excited while watching the Saints win against the Cardinals on Saturday. “I usually don’t tweet during games but I am just so excited,” Kim wrote on Twitter.

So, if she gets her way, it looks a Superbowl ring for Reggie Bush means an engagement ring for Kim. The two have been dating on and off since 2007, so 2010 wouldn’t be too soon to tie the knot — especially for a Kardashian.

What do you think of the reported Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian engagement bet? Ladies, would get your guy to propose by making such a deal? Let me know in the comments!
