Greg Kelser: the forgotten All-American from Michigan State

The 1979 NCAA Basketball Championship is most remembered for the match-up between Larry Bird of Indiana State and Earvin "Magic" Johnson of Michigan State...but the one player often overlooked in this game was Michigan State's Greg Kelser...

He was the first Big Ten player to ever score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in a career...he was an All-American both athletically and academically...

After college, Kelser was drafted 4th overall by the hometown Detroit Pistons who were coached by some guy named Dick Vitale...Kelser's stay in Detroit was short as he was traded two years later to the Seattle Supersonics for the Microwave - Vinnie Johnson...Kelser completed his NBA career with the Indiana Pacers...

Since leaving the NBA, Kelser has worked as a sports announcer and/or commentator on radio and television...he is the commentator for Detroit Pistons games on Fox Sports Detroit...

Butch Lee: The man who helped make McGuire cry

Most remember the 1977 NCAA Championship for the moment of Al McGuire winning the national title over North Carolina in his last game as head coach...but many forget that a Puerto Rican kid named "Butch" Lee was the reason behind sending McGuire out as a champion...as the clock ticked away in the final seconds, McGuire broke down in tears...

In the title game, Lee scored 19 points and was named Most Outstanding Player as the Warriors beat Carolina 67-59...

Lee was drafted in the first round of the 1978 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks...he became the first Puerto Rican-born player to play in the NBA...Lee's NBA career was cut short because of injuries...he lasted four years in the league, but managed to win a championship ring as part of the Los Angeles Lakers 1980 title run...

After his playing career, Lee returned to Puerto Rico and became a head basketball coach...as of 2004, he was still a coach in Puerto Rico's professional basketball league...

Purdue Pete: his days are numbered

Dan McFeely of the Indianapolis Star reported last week that Purdue Pete - the mascot of the Purdue Boilermakers will soon be gone in order to make way for a more fan friendly looking mascot...

Purdue Director of Athletics Morgan Burke said that he gets numerous calls about Purdue Pete scaring young children...

The 70-year-old mascot last got a makeover about 30 years ago...many of the Purdue faithful are upset about the soon-to-be change of Pete...some are afraid that the new mascot will be "too cute" instead of fierce and rugged...

What should the Cleveland Browns do at quarterback?

The Cleveland Browns have a new era again...new team president Mike Holmgren stated this past weekend that there will not be a quarterback competition in training camp this year and that Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson will be gone by the time July rolls around...

There has also been talk that Holmgren may make a trade for a veteran quarterback who can step in right away...the name bantered around is Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb...

So what should the Browns do?...who should be their starter next season -- Quinn or Anderson...or should the Browns give up a second round pick for McNabb...your thoughts???
