After Saturday’s marathon day of College Basketball, Kim Clijsters repped for working moms with an Aussie Open championship over Na Li and big games by NBA phenoms Blake Griffin and Kevin Love, today should be a defacto vacation for sports fans as Novak Djokovic won the Aussie Open Men’s Final in straight sets over Andy Murray, nothing important is really at stake.

The NHL All Star Game is today at 3PM on Versus (which means the NHL insists on getting the lowest viewer-ship possible).

The cool thing about NHL All Star 2011? The captains (Carolina Hurricanes Eric Staal and Detroit Red Wings Lidstrom) of the two teams picked their rosters gym class style from available All Stars in an 18 round “fantasy draft”.

The impending doom of an NFL lockout (Bonus: Packers players sniping at each other through the media and micro-blogging prior to their Super Bowl appearance).

Phil Hecken discusses both All Star games at the excellent Uni Watch blog.
