Weekend winners
Tyler Reddick. A first-ever 3-0 start to a NASCAR season belongs to Reddick. Not Elliott or Earnhardt. Not Gordon or Johnson. Not even Petty or Allison. Tyler Reddick in his MJ rocket ship has three wins in three starts open this NASCAR campaign. Wow.
Florida hoops. Man, we can debate which SEC club is No. 1 but after the Gators clinched the regular-season SEC title with a 111-77 beatdown of Arkansas, there is no discussion about the best SEC basketball team around. The defending champs are cruising at the right time of the year.
