1. Were the Philadelphia Eagles right in firing a stadium operations employee for his criticism in a Facebook post of the team letting Brian Dawkins sign with Denver?

Taylor: Ah, the power of Facebook. I know some status updates are annoying, but to lose your job of six years because you voiced your opinion? A little ridiculous. This guy is 32 years old, a lifelong Eagles fan, and has missed one game in his six years working for the Eagles organization. Yeah, it was stupid thing to do, but you can’t fire a dedicated employee over something like that.

Maks: I don’t know if it was right, but the guy’s status was pretty hilarious and is worth checking out if you haven’t already. Though I do wonder if I’ll one day be clubbed, bound, gagged and shoved into an unmarked white van for my less-than-flattering words for Clay Bennett.

Honsen: Absolutely not. Sure, the guy criticized his own employers, but he is just a passionate and upset fan voicing his opinions, and he just happened to work for the Eagles. Philadelphia should not have taken their frustrations of a failed free agency out on one of their grunt workers.

Christian: Yes, but not because he slammed the organization. Because he’s an idiot and couldn’t even manage to spell “Dam Eagles R Retarted!!” correctly. If you’re going to insult someone’s intelligence, shouldn’t you at least make sure you’re using the proper spelling and grammar?

2. What does the World Baseball Classic need to do in order to attract more attention and become more popular?

Taylor: Baseball is going through a tough time right now, so it’s understandable that it’s not as popular as it was made out to be. I think the WBC is a good idea and it will eventually attract more attention than it is right now. Perhaps holding the tournament at the end of the year would be better timing, when baseball fans want a little something extra after the MLB season is over.

Maks: Two words: aluminum bats.

Honsen: Nationally, it’s not going to happen, even if all of the biggest stars are allowed to play. Americans are just too focused on their local teams. Globally though, there’s not much the WBC can do either, except hope that a lot of the other countries get much better at baseball — and fast — so they can make the tournament interesting to fans.

Christian: Make sure all of the best players are playing. Other than that, not much. Baseball just isn’t one of those sports that people feel any real national pride about. If it were, they wouldn’t be getting rid of it as an Olympic sport.

3. Terrell Owens signed a one-year deal Saturday with Buffalo. Considering his history as a clubhouse menace, is this a good fit for him and the Bills?

Taylor: When I first heard that T.O. found a new home in Buffalo, I was kind of confused. Buffalo? Really? Can you even name their quarterback? If he couldn’t get along with Donovan McNabb or Tony Romo, I’m sure he won’t get along with Trent Edwards or J.P. Losman.

Maks: I don’t know, I’m not Rachel Nichols.

Honsen: T.O. might have hoped for a bigger market, but he’ll do well in his first season in Buffalo because he manages to play well without being a distraction in make-or-break seasons with new teams. Owens only kills his own teams after they offer him a long-term deal.

Christian: Good fit for him because he’ll once more be paid to act like a buffoon and ruin another franchise. Bad move for the Bills. Trent Edwards better make sure that he doesn’t have any skeletons in the closet for T.O. to air publicly, should Edwards piss him off. Which he will.

4. The fight for the eighth playoff spot in the NBA’s Eastern Conference is closer than ever. Who do you think will get the final spot and why?

Taylor: Does anyone really care? We all know Cleveland or Boston will roll over them anyway. Speaking of the Eastern Conference, did anyone see Dwayne Wade’s performance Monday? Forty-eight points, 12 assists and a game-winning-steal-turned-3-pointer in the closing seconds of double overtime. My God, that’s good basketball. He seriously should be considered in this year’s MVP race with LeBron and Kobe.

Maks: Chicago keeps it. But in the West it looks like Portland will slide down to the number eight spot, for the simple reason that the Blazers are worse than Denver and Dallas. If it wasn’t for some Clipper plunging their finger into Amar’e Stoudemire’s eye, Portland would probably miss the playoffs all together.

Honsen: All of those teams gunning for the eighth seed are six games below .500 or worse. I say New Jersey gets it because they’re a good young team that is probably the least worried about screwing up their lottery pick in the standings after they get bombed by Cleveland or Boston in the first round.

Christian: The Knicks. Why not? I don’t plan on watching Boston or Cleveland sweep the No. 8 seed anyway, but if it’s the Knicks, at least Nate Robinson would have a chance to throw down a couple of cool dunks and make the SportsCenter Top 10.
