Draft's win-loss record
NEW YORK – Matt Leinart and the QB-needy teams that passed on him were among the NFL draft's big losers.

Agent: McNair could be released, traded (AP)
Steve McNair's tenure with the Tennessee Titans could be over within the next 24 hours, according to his agent. Team officials don't agree, even though they gave permission for McNair's agent to talk with the Baltimore Ravens. Agent Bus Cook said Sunday the team was considering releasing McNair or trading him to the Ravens, with something possibly worked out by Monday.

Second day of draft is for converted QBs (AP)
The second day of the NFL draft was "slash" day. As in Michael Robinson, qb/rb; Brad Smith, qb/wr; Marques Hagans, qb/wr/kick returner; Reggie McNeal, qb/wr, AND ... Jeremy Bloom, skier/kick returner/wr. Such is the way on most Sundays at the draft when teams look for bargains in skill players who are either too small, too slow, or deemed not fit for the NFL at the position at which they starred in...

Reggie Bush mania enveloping New Orleans (AP)
For a moment, Reggie Bush wasn't sure what to make of the rock-star ovation he got when he walked through the restaurant door. "As soon as I got in there, there was a bunch of fans screaming and yelling. I thought it was staged," Bush said Sunday during a television interview at the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic, recalling his visit a night earlier to one of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse's restaurants.

QB Young happy to be a Titan (AP)
Vince Young has no hard feelings toward his hometown Houston Texans and is happy the Tennessee Titans took him with the No. 3 pick in the NFL draft. Young arrived back in Texas on Sunday on the private jet owned by Titans owner Bud Adams, who owned the Houston Oilers for many years before moving them to Nashville.

Leinart pleased to be a Cardinal (AP)
Though the temperature was pushing 90 degrees and he was wearing a dark wool suit, Matt Leinart managed to look cool as he stood on the edge of the Arizona Cardinals' practice fields. Those fields will soon be Leinart's workplace. But Sunday morning, they provided a backdrop as the Cardinals' first-round draft choice -- and the eventual successor to starting quarterback Kurt Warner -- was...

Cutler: I'm as good as any QB in draft (AP)
Jay Cutler insists that Matt Leinart and Vince Young have nothing on him -- other than the fatter paychecks they have forthcoming. Cutler was the last of the "Big Three" quarterbacks chosen in the first round of the NFL draft, going to Denver at No. 11, one slot after Southern Cal's Leinart went to Arizona.

Browns ask Lions about QB Harrington (AP)
Busy working the phones during the NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns made a couple interesting long-distance calls to Detroit to see what the Lions wanted for quarterback Joey Harrington. General manager Phil Savage said Sunday that he spoke with Lions GM Matt Millen about Harrington, a former No. 3 overall pick in 2002 who wants out of Detroit and has reached a preliminary two-year deal with the...

Nothing but Nets' D
New Jersey's defense was back to normal, holding down Indiana to even their series at 2-2.

Bryant's OT winner gives Lakers 3-1 lead (AP)
The Los Angeles Lakers needed two last-gasp shots from Kobe Bryant to beat the Phoenix Suns. And two uncharacteristic mistakes from Phoenix star Steve Nash. Bryant made a looping runner with seven-tenths of a second left in the fourth quarter to force overtime, and a 17-footer as time expired to lift the Lakers to an improbable 99-98 victory over the Suns and a 3-1 lead in the first-round Western...

Bulls even first-round series with Heat (AP)
The Miami Heat bickered among themselves. Shaquille O'Neal had another rough outing. And the Chicago Bulls took advantage. Kirk Hinrich scored 21 points and hit a key 3-pointer with 1:09 left, and the Bulls evened the first-round series at 2-2 with a 93-87 victory on Sunday. "The team believes it can win this series, and that's it," forward Andres Nocioni said.

Bulls' Chandler hurt late in Game 4 (AP)
Chicago Bulls center Tyson Chandler had to be carried off the floor after spraining his right ankle with 26.3 seconds left in Sunday's Game 4 of the opening-round playoff series against the Miami Heat.

Bucks G Ford tries to stay aggressive (AP)
T.J. Ford studied Sunday how he was finally able to break down the Detroit Pistons' formidable guards. The Bucks trail Detroit 2-1 in the Eastern Conference series with Game 4 on Monday night.

Grizzlies still looking for playoff win (AP)
Chucky Atkins had the perfect chance to get the Memphis Grizzlies' first postseason victory. However, all he could do was watch his potential game-winning shot at the end of regulation bounce away. "There was no doubt in my mind that shot was going in. It didn't," Atkins said Sunday as the Grizzlies prepared to try to avoid getting swept in a playoff series for the third straight year.

Krstic helps lead Nets in playoffs (AP)
The New Jersey Nets might not have just the "Big Three" anymore. The trio of Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson is well known, but second-year center Nenad Krstic has been a key factor in the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Indiana Pacers. He scored 21 points in New Jersey's 97-88 win Saturday that tied the series at 2-all.

Clippers nearing rare playoff series win (AP)
For many NBA teams, winning a playoff series isn't a big deal. For the Los Angeles Clippers, it would be a significant achievement. One more victory and the Clippers will have accomplished the feat for the second time in franchise history. The Clippers moved within one win of advancing to the second round by beating the Denver Nuggets 100-86 Saturday night for their first postseason road victory in...

Tuning out
The NHL already had its share of marketing problems before New York bowed out of the playoffs Saturday.

Avs oust Stars on Brunette's OT goal (AP)
Jose Theodore played only five games for Colorado in the regular season. Now, after five postseason games he's already won over his new teammates.

Marleau, Sharks oust Predators 2-1 (AP)
San Jose coach Ron Wilson can rest easy now for a few days along with his Sharks.

G Ward again helps 'Canes by Canadiens (AP)
Cam Ward single-handedly tilted the ice in favor of the Carolina Hurricanes with his play between the pipes. He won't take the credit, of course, but that's not a problem.

Sabres top Flyers, regain edge in series (AP)

Oilers confident heading into Game 5 (AP)
Ethan Moreau points to one big reason why the upstart Oilers have the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings on the brink of playoff elimination: Edmonton goalie Dwayne Roloson. Detroit, which had an NHL-best 124 points in the regular season, has outshot Edmonton 202-126 and won more faceoffs (193-149) in the first-round Western Conference playoff series, but it's the eighth-seeded Oilers who lead 3-2 in...

Flames' veterans try to finish off Ducks (AP)
Darren McCarty is banking on experience to carry the Calgary Flames through their tight first-round series against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. "I'm a firm believer that the way you learn how to win is to go through difficult losing and finding out how to get over that," McCarty said Sunday before the Flames' flight to California for Game 6 of its Western Conference matchup.

Rangers' playoff return a short one (AP)
It's hard to measure the success of a team that got swept in the first round of the NHL playoffs, when preseason prognostications suggested the club wouldn't get close to the postseason at all. Yet, in the case of the New York Rangers, first place became the operative term -- how they surprisingly held the lead for much of the season and then saw it slip away with a just-as-stunning collapse at...

Lightning face questions in offseason (AP)
The Tampa Bay Lightning's reign as Stanley Cup champions ended in the first round of the playoffs, and the team is already searching for answers to what it will take to climb back among the NHL's elite. "I think sometimes as an organization if you sneak by a round and maybe you win a couple of rounds you may think your team is OK," coach John Tortorella said.
