SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Sweet!

There was a graphic before the Jaguars' game on Sunday that warmed my heart. It is exactly the sort of obsessive research of details that I so enjoy doing when it strikes me:
I like to think one of the CBS stat guys sat down around midnight on Saturday, figured out this extremely serpentine path for Jacksonville to make the playoffs, and then ran to his producers the next morning with the information to be put in a 30-second graphic.

The Jaguars made a valiant effort, failing at step one.

In his defense, that was an epic booty on display.

Andrea Bargnani with the most baffling shot selection I've ever seen.
The Knicks would go on to win in 2OT as the Bucks are tanking harder than George Patton.

It's that type of smart basketball and situational awareness which helps make the Knicks so successful this season.

There are songs of praise for the Raptors' GM for dealing him in the off-season. Most responses about the trade were:
Person A: "The Raptors traded Bargnani to the Knicks!"
Person B: "Great trade! What did we have to give NY to take him?"

Not the first time Masai Ujiri has fleeced the Knicks, probably not the last.

The greatest use for in-net cameras in hockey history.
