End of road for Chester High; are DeSean, J-Roll really on the block?

A few random sports thoughts to mull over while you fill out your NCAA bracket pool. And as long as you're jumping into the pool, why not play our Road to the Championship Bracket Challenge. You can get all the details here.

In the meantime, Chester High hit a massive pothole on the road to another state title last night. The Clippers fell to La Salle High School in a PIAA AAAA semifinal matchup. Matt DeGeorge and Matt Smith were at Coatesville and have all the game highlights and analysis here.

In the meantime, it sounds suspiciously like two very big names on the pro sports scene could be on the trade block. Reports indicate that Eagles are listening to offers for standout wide receiver DeSean Jackson. That apparently does not mean they are shopping him, only that they are listening.

And the Phillies apparently are growing increasingly disenchanted with veteran shortstop Jimmy Rollins. His comments this year downplaying Grapefruit League games are not exactly the kind of attitude that new skipper Ryne Sandberg was looking to establish with this veteran team. They want Rollins to be more of a leader.

The shortstop is only 60 hits away from becoming the Phillies' all-time hits leader, surpassing slugger Mike Schmidt. What do you think the chances are that he breaks that mark.

If the Phils fall off the pace early, look for the Phillies to move Rollins at the trade deadline, if not sooner.
