Sizzle
Zack Greinke » Newest AL Cy Young Award winner proves that it’s not all about how many wins you get — it’s about the quality of the pitching. The Kansas City hurler had 16 wins (three AL pitchers had 19 wins) and a Major-League leading 2.16 ERA.
Kobe Bryant » Dropped 40 for the 100th time Tuesday night against the Pistons. He has four 40-point games this season after the same number last season, and now trails only Michael Jordan (173) and Wilt Chamberlain (271) on the all-time list.
Fizzle
Dick Jauron » Hot Seat alumnus and Bills coach was fired Tuesday after a 3-6 start. He failed to get the offense running (28th in points per game), despite the offseason addition of Terrell Owens. Jauron is replaced by defensive coordinator Perry Fewell.
Dwayne Bowe » The Chiefs wide receiver has caught a suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances — after taking a diuretic for weight loss, according to his agent — and will ride the pine for the next four games.
