A bit over sports overdose over the course of the last 24 hours, if that's possible.

First was a rare Friday night Six Nations match and it saw France gain a euphoric victory over Wales, 21-16 which against heavily favoured Wales, was almost impossible to believe. Not that France aren't a good side but after the pasting Ireland gave them, even at home few expected them to defeat Wales, who were slotted to win this tournament by most.

Then Saturday was Chelsea's thrilling stoppage-time winner over an unexpectedly tough Wigan in the Premiership followed quickly by a very tight, if somewhat anti-climatic and perhaps even boring Ireland v England Six Nations match that saw the Irish barely keep England down, 14-13 and remain undefeated.

Thereafter, some Chinese television ESPN feed of the Yankees-Twins Spring Training match which was entertaining if solely for the fact that although the original feed was off the Yes network, we got to listen to incomprehensible Chinese broadcasters instead of having to bear that unbearable bore, Michael Kay. I hate the Yankees and Michael Kay but getting a respite from at least one of them whilst getting a little MLB fix in this early on was a lucky break. Still gotta consider over the course of the season and once the Mets start playing if it might not be worth investing in a little MLB radio to go along with the Chinese feed just so I can understand the commentary. The quality of the broadcast though is remarkable considering its an internet feed.

But that's just what's going on at the minute - it's been quite a week already what with the Champions League matches that saw Man U earn a 0-0 draw against Jose Mourinho and Inter in Milan, Liverpool win in Madrid and Arsenal beat Roma at home.

Personally, I don't give a monkey's about Arsenal and Liverpool but the Man U-Inter match was the most anticipated football match of the season for me. Just to see anyone beat effin Man U for a change would be brilliant considering no one in the Premiership seems capable. The nil-nil draw is no disadvantage to Man U who will likely wrap it up at home. Man U dominated the first half and really should have scored a couple of times (which would have sealed the home and away advantage early on) but they were held scoreless and Inter readjusted in the 2nd half to make the match a little more interesting.

That's it for the real excitement for another week.

Meanwhile, NFL free agency kicked off with a bang and the Jets inked, as hoped, Bart Scott from the Ravens nearly straight away to immediately boost the defence. They also traded for Lito Shepherd.

Apparently, there's still a long way to go with re-making the defence but it's a good start.

And there were two other big deals already in the NFL - the Pats trading Cassel to the Chiefs relinquishing their starting QB for surprisingly little. Of course, they already have Brady waiting in the wings so this is good news for the Chiefs.

Lastly, to the surprise of no one, the Redskins massively overpayed for Haynesworth which was pretty much expected.
