Not only do you get a week’s worth of sports viewing all in one place, but we’ve also spiced up every day of the week with action-packed adjectives to get you geared up for the week.

Big Monday: Aussie Open (4 p.m. ET, ESPN2)

It’s tennis season again. Some of you might not care, but trust me, you should. There’s a theory out there (which I subscribe to) that if you take the time to get to know tennis, it can be your best chance you’ll ever have to beat the Vegas bookmakers while they’re preoccupied with traditional North American stuff. Besides, what else are you going to watch on Monday afternoon?

I was a little confused by the tournament schedule at first because in Australia, the Open starts on Monday, but because of the time difference we will see those matches Sunday night. So despite what the official tournament website might tell you, Monday afternoon’s broadcast will feature some competitive Day 2 matches such as American James Blake against Nicolas Massu and Nicolas Kiefer versus Juan Carlos Ferrero.

But if you’re not sold on the tennis, you can also watch the Big East battle between Georgetown and Pitt (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Super Tuesday: Ohio State vs. Michigan State (8 p.m. ET, ESPN)

I think Ohio State has suddenly become the most underrated school in college sports. All through football season, the dig against them was that the conference was weak and the Buckeyes have no speed – even though they had the best record of any BCS conference school. Not much changes in basketball season.

After an appearance in last year’s championship game, Ohio State isn’t really on anyone’s radar this year. Sure they have three losses, but the teams that beat them have a combined record of 46-2, so I wouldn’t be so quick to overlook this young team. But if Ohio State doesn’t want to become the Buffalo Bills of the new millennium, a win over 14-1 Michigan State would certainly help. It won’t be easy, but it’s definitely possible. 

Wild Wednesday: Portland Trailblazers vs. Boston Celtics (7:30 p.m. ET, NBATV)

For some ridiculous reason, ESPN will be showing the Bulls and Heat when the nation should really be watching the best team in basketball hosting the Association’s most exciting young squad.

I’ve been wanting to get a look at Brandon Roy for a while now and ESPN be damned, I’ve got Direct TV and I’ll be watching it on NBATV in stunning high definition. It will also be broadcast in Boston and Portland on regional Comcast SportsNet.

Thursday Raw: Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers (10:30 p.m. ET, TNT)

OK, I stole that handle from the WWF, but they’re not using it anymore. As for the Lakers, they might want to go back to the franchise’s old catchphrase of “Showtime” if they can keep up the pace of scoring 107 points a game.

And it’s not all coming from No. 24. Well, OK, most of it is, but Andrew Bynum (injured over the weekend) has shown flashes that make you think he might actually turn into the player the Lakers always hoped he would. He’s averaging nearly 19 points per game in the new year and had a huge 25-point, 17-rebound game against Milwaukee last week.

Who knows what the over/under will look like when they face the NBA’s No. 1 scoring offense, but you can bet I’ll be looking closely at the over.

Good Friday: Los Angeles Kings at Calgary Flames (9 p.m. ET, TSN, FSN-W)

Let’s be honest: It’s Friday night and you’ve probably got something better to do, but if you happen to be around a television and you live in Canada where you can get TSN, tune in for a little pucks.

Calgary is one of the best offensive teams in hockey and the last time they met up with L.A., the squads combined to light the lamp 10 times. And who knows, maybe the Flames will have managed to coax Curtis Joseph out of retirement – Miikka Kiprusoff could definitely use a little extra motivation.

Overrated Saturday: Roy Jones Jr. vs. Felix Trinidad (9 p.m. ET, HBO PPV) or USC vs UCLA (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS)

If I lived in New York, I might go down to MSG to take in the atmosphere of this fight, but there’s no way in hell I’d pay the 50 bucks that Don King is trying to swindle out of the pay-per-view audience.

Both fighters are over the hill, both took nasty beatings in their last fights, and both should have probably hung up the gloves a long time ago. That’s boxing for you.

If you want a circus sideshow, then go ahead and hand your hard-earned money over to Don King. If you want to see some real athletic competition, however, you should check out the college hoops battle of Los Angeles as USC and UCLA pit their two phenomenal freshmen against one another.

Fat Sunday: Chargers at Patriots (3 p.m. ET, CBS) and Giants at Packers (6:30 p.m. ET, Fox)

If this Sunday’s games are half as good as last weekend’s, then we should all be glued to our TV sets for a solid seven hours or so.

Personally, I didn’t think the Chargers had a prayer against the Colts, so maybe - big maybe - they can actually give the Patriots a game in the AFC championship. But the one I’m really looking forward to is another January battle in Green Bay.

The scene at Lambeau last week was classic – snowstorm, Favre magic, Packers win. Things won’t be so easy for Brett against the Giants pass rush, but it will be fun to see what the old gunslinger pulls out of his bag of tricks.
