NEW YORK, N.Y. The American League Champion Boston Red Sox. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

When I woke up Sunday morning aghast, recalling the 36-3 thrashing the Cavaliers had received at the hands of Florida State the night before, I started to reflect on the Virginia season to date.

NFL scouts, however, only saw one number when they looked at Virginia's ball-hawking cornerback Almondo "Muffin" Curry -- "5-foot-8-inch." For all his exploits on the gridiron, Curry was passed over by the NFL in favor of taller cornerbacks to match up with today's towering receivers, a fact not lost on "Muffin." "To me, it's not even a point of how good you are, or what you can do out on the football field," Curry said.
