NBA’s Most Vaulable Franchise
The Los Angeles Lakers have surpassed the New York Knicks as the NBA’s most-valuable team, according to Forbes’ annual report….The magazine said Wednesday that the Lakers’ value had increased 40 percent since last year to $900 million thanks to its blockbuster Time Warner TV deal. The Knicks’ value increased 19 percent to $780 million with a boost from the renovation of Madison Square Garden. The Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics round out the top five.
Despite a shortened season, the average team is worth $393 million, up 6.5 percent from last year, aided by the new collective bargaining agreement.
The Milwaukee Bucks are the least valuable team at $268 million.

Lynch goes Beast -Mode…Seahawks WHOOP SORRY A** RAMS AGAIN!!!
The Skittles came flying out of the stands, close enough that Marshawn Lynch was regretting not catching his favorite candy in midair and taking it back to the sideline….Too bad. He could have shared his reward with Doug Baldwin.
”I could have caught them, that’s how close they got to me,” Lynch said.
Baldwin, an undrafted rookie out of Stanford, showed the rest of the NFL what it missed Monday night. He blocked a first-quarter punt that was returned by Michael Robinson 17 yards for a touchdown, then caught a 29-yard TD pass from Tarvaris Jackson in the third period as the Seattle Seahawks pulled away for a 30-13 win over the staggering St. Louis Rams.
Seattle (6-7) won for the fourth time in five games and kept alive its slim hopes for reaching the postseason. The Seahawks likely would need to win out to potentially make the playoffs a reality, but they’re at least back in the conversation after a 2-6 start.
Much of this late-season rally has been on the back of Lynch, who is making a push for a reward beyond sweets this offseason — a big contract as a free agent.
Lynch topped 100 yards rushing for the fifth time in the last six games, finishing with 115 on 23 carries. He scored a touchdown in his ninth straight game on a 16-yard run with 2:57 left to put away Seattle’s 13th win in its last 14 games against the Rams.
Seahawks fans threw bags of Skittles into the end zone as Lynch celebrated his ninth rushing touchdown this season, and he tied a franchise record with nine consecutive games with a TD….”I think it’s more of a team accomplishment,” Lynch said. ”It’s great to have, but that win was a lot better.”
Baldwin, who is Seattle’s leading receiver and has become the main option for Jackson, finished with seven receptions for 93 yards and his third TD catch of the season.

Ocho Cinco …No Touching???
Chad Ochocinco isn’t scoring on the field. And apparently, he’s not scoring at home either.
Ochocinco was up to his usual tweeting ways on Monday despite missing Sunday’s game against the Eagles because of a hamstring issue. Amid his Madden call-outs and fan interaction, Ochocinco also revealed a technique that’s not working out so well.
The Patriots’ wide receiver tweeted that his fiancée, Evelyn Lozada, is refusing to sleep with him, later revealing that it’s part of a motivation tactic. Ochocinco, of course, hasn’t reached the end zone since joining New England, and he’s only caught 11 passes for 201 yards.
Check out Ochocinco’s tweets below. For his sake and the Patriots’ sake, let’s hope Ochocinco is back on the field next Sunday when the Pats host the 0-11 Colts.
