From the Sports Desk

Thoughts from an occasional sportswriter:

• Watching Barcelona trounce Lyon yesterday in the Champions League was a treat. For the first 43 minutes, Barcelona pitched a perfect game. Lyon came out focusing on Leo Messi, forgetting that a player named Thierry Henry was on the other side – and he struck twice, effectively ending the match. And then Messi scored a nifty goal anyway.
• If Manchester United and Barcelona don’t play each other this year, all soccer fans will miss out. They are two epic teams.
• Roy Jones Jr. is going to fight again. After showing absolutely nothing against Joe Calzaghe, it’s a shame that no one has made it clear to him that his skills are gone.
• I just don’t feel any of us are excited enough about Tiger Woods’ return. We need to work on that.
• And, you know, it’s March but I’m just not feeling the madness yet.
• The BCS has heard the calls for a playoff – and decided to stay with their status quo until at least 2013.
