			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sweet Jebus, was this the longest week ever or what? Thank heavens its Friday. (Or thank goodness for you TGIFridays fans.) So you&#8217;re probably wondering what to do with your blissed-out, not-at-work selves for two days. Well, the oddsnark Weekend Planner is here to help.</p>
<p>There is a little thing called the NCAA Final Four happening on Saturday. UCLA takes on defending champion Florida in a rematch of last year&#8217;s title game, while the biggest of the big men &#8212; Greg Oden and Roy Hibbert &#8212; are set to do battle in the paint in the Ohio State-Georgetown tilt. I know, your bracket was long-ago blown out, but these are going to be some fantastic matchups, so you better tune in.</p>
<p>For those of you hoping to see a fight or two, the NHL is heading into the final stretch before the playoffs. Calgary plays in Vancouver on Saturday looking to hold onto their slim grasp on the final postseason spot in the West, while Nashville battles Dallas in their bid to steal the Central division away from the Red Wings. On Sunday, NBC brings us some riveting action as Detroit takes on the Columbus Blue Jackets. (Sweet Sam Hill, even Versus would have passed on that matchup.)</p>
<p>The playoff picture is shaping up in the NBA as well. Who would have thunk that Toronto would be leading the way in the retched Atlantic division? What Svengali could have predicted the Wizards would have a chance to top the their division? Washington and the Raptors go head-to-head tonight at the Verizon Center. But you don&#8217;t care about the East, all you want to hear about is the stinking Suns and Mavericks. Well fine, the top two teams in the West square off on Sunday in Phoenix, with the Suns needing a win if they want to catch Dallas for the top seed. They might do it, too, with Dirk Nowitzki nursing a bone spur in his ankle.</p>
<p>What else? Well, baseball is still in preseason action, but who cares about baseball this early in the year? The MLS is gearing up to start their season soon (you&#8217;re a fan, you just don&#8217;t know it yet), and NASCAR has short-track action from Martinsville. Oh, and someone is probably playing golf somewhere this weekend (yawn).</p>
<p>No matter what sporting event trips your trigger, though, I&#8217;m sure the big plan for this weekend involves plenty of this:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steven Nash and the Phoenix Suns were able to defeat Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers 99-94 on Sunday night.  The Lakers are missing a bunch of players due to injury and were still able to keep pace.   While the Phoenix Suns were never able to get rolling.  After the game Steve Nash made comments linking him with Austin Powers?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We just didn&#8217;t have a lot of mojo,&#8221; Nash said. &#8220;We never really found a lot. We just kind of hung in there and made enough plays when it counted I guess.&#8221;</p>
<p><img width="128" height="87" alt="144637541_7d913fb41c.jpg" src="http://www.oddsnark.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/144637541_7d913fb41c.thumbnail.jpg" /></p></blockquote>
<p>Funny enough this is <em>exactly </em>Austin Powers&#8217; problem some nights too.</p>
<blockquote><p>He just doesn&#8217;t have his Mojo going.  He never really finds a lot.   He just hangs in there and makes enough &#8216;plays&#8217; when it counts.</p>
<p><img width="128" height="66" alt="450px-austin_powers.jpg" src="http://www.oddsnark.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/450px-austin_powers.thumbnail.jpg" /></p></blockquote>
<p>Is Steve Nash a new-age Austin Powers?   Or is he referring to the girls in each of the movies&#8230; Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyonce Knowles?   I guess we&#8217;ll never know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know, we normally don&#8217;t start posting about basketball around here until after football is over, or I should say, I don&#8217;t normally start posting about basketball until after football is over, but it&#8217;s Friday and you need a funny, off-kilter video to help keep you entertained there in your cubicle during the final hours of your work week. (Oh, like you were going to get some actual work done. Right!)</p>
<p>So let me point out that the Phoenix Suns and Steve Nash are looking to get their <a title="si.com - Trail Blazers-Suns Preview" href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/previews/2007/01/19/21384_preview.html">12th straight win</a> tonight against Portland. That gives me an opportunity to post again our video tribute to last year&#8217;s NBA MVP:</p>
