The Nets have decided to trade for Deron Williams. The Jazz get Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, 2011 1st round pick, and a 2012 pick (from Warriors). Deron Williams was averaging more than 21 points per game, a career high. The Nets missed out on Melo, but got someone else who was almost as good.

Trevor Bayne shocks everyone by winning the Daytona 500. He became the youngest driver ever to win the 500. The 500 proved to be a lot different with the new surface, a lot of wrecks. At then end of the race, Carl Edwards with David Gilliland pushing made a charge, but Bayne blocked them and took the win.

Albert Pujols's contract has not been reached as Pujols asked for a 10 year deal and the Cardinals only offered him 8. Albert Pujols wants a contract similar to Alex Rodriguez, who makes almost twice more. They have been performing about the same, so thats one big reason on why Pujols wants a bigger contract

Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualifies on pole for the Daytona 500. Jeff Gordon qualifies 2nd, which are the only 2 positions set. The rest of the field will be set after the Gatorade Duels. Also, during the race, NASCAR has asked fans to hold three fingers on lap 3 to honor Dale Earnhardt Sr., who was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500 in 2001

The trade talks for Carmelo Anthony are heating up. The Knicks and the Lakers are interested in Carmelo, which the Knicks wanted Carmelo way before the Lakers did. The Lakers may trade Andrew Bynum for Carmelo. I think Melo would most likely go to the Knicks.

NFL

The Packers are the champions of Super Bowl XLV. The final score was 31-25. Aaron Rodgers was named Super Bowl MVP for his performance. The key play to the Packers winning was when Rashard Mendenhall fumbled the ball early in the fourth quarter. Remember, the Packers were on the verge of missing the playoffs in week 17, but the Bears let them win, and that decision haunted them as they were defeated by the Packers, and the Packers became champions. The Steelers, however, played very well as they overcame a 14 point deficit in the first quarter, but they didn't have enough for the end. It was hard fought, but the Green Bay Packers bring home the trophy that was named after their coach that won Super Bowl I, Vince Lombardi.

Tom Brady won the NFL MVP. He had 36 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions, which is a 9-1 touchdown interception ratio, which got him all 50 votes for MVP. That is amazing, but remember his first MVP was 49 votes, the 1 going to Brett Favre.

The Super Bowl is tonight! I'm excited. But some people aren't. On the radio, I heard the DJs saying they don't care for the game. They want to see the commercials!!! That defeats the whole purpose of watching the Super Bowl. Well, anyway, have a party, be with friends, and don't drive drunk

10 Chase qualifiers and two drivers with the most wins
