Off to the west, the Santa Cruz Mountains gently form the outer boundary of Palo Alto.

Bracket Watch: It’s conference tournament season, baby – FOXSports.com
Several smaller-conference tournaments are already underway, most notably the Missouri Valley, which holds it championship game Sunday in St. Louis. There’s been much discussion of late about the dearth of mid-major at-large berths in recent years with many hoping that trend reverses itself this year.

7 NFL Combine stars who actually became great pros – FOXSports.com
In the first year of the NFL’s more complete Combine record-keeping, the former Maryland tight end posted a 40 time that forced scouts to check their stopwatches: 4.38 seconds. For a guy standing 6-foot-3, 248 pounds, that’s obscene. Only Dorin Dickerson (who went on to play sparingly for six teams until 2015) has come within a tenth of a second (4.40) of Davis among tight ends since. Davis also…
5 free agents the New Orleans Saints should target – FOXSports.com
For years, the New Orleans Saints have wasted prime seasons from Drew Brees. It’s not that the front office hasn’t surrounded him with good talent on the outside, it’s that the defense has been one of the worst units in the NFL for too long. With about $28 million in cap space, the Saints don’t have a ton of money to spend on free agents, but it’s certainly enough to…
