--It appears that the Yankees and A-Rod may have come to agreement on a 10 year, $275 million dollar contract, and apparently have accomplished this without A-Rod's agent, Scott Boras. The Yankees continue to lose respectability and credibility. First they hose Torre and now after saying if A-Rod opted out of his contract, they were done negotiating with him. Haven't we seen this before with the Yankees? It appears money isn't the only thing the Steinbrenner boys inherited from dear old Dad.
--I still say that end of the year awards should include post-season performances. As far as I'm concerned, Josh Beckett got hosed in the Cy Young voting. Same thing goes with the Heismann Trophy. Aren't post-season games part of a player's overall performance?
--I'm not ready to bail on the Colts' repeating in the Super Bowl just yet, but losing Dwight Freeney is a huge blow to an already beat up squad. Marvin Harrison has played most of the year, Dallas Clark is dinged, Tony Ugoh has been out and now Freeney is done for the year. Teams are going to try and exploit the loss of Freeney and the Colts are going to have to find a way to get back on track. Going to be a tough road ahead for Indy.
--The Stephon Marbury incident shows why the NBA now stands for Nothing But Assclowns. Gambling refs, sexual harrasment, fighting with fans and now a player threatening his coach with blackmail if he doesn't get to start. But I guess they have more important things to do like reprimanding Phil Jackson for his Brokeback mountain references. Hey, if the shoe fits.........
--Barry Bonds has just been indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice involving a four-year investigation as to whether or not he lied under oath to a grand jury looking into steriod use. Can't wait to see what Barry has to say about this........guess we're all just picking on him again.
--And last but certainly not least, Santa Claus has been ordered to stop saying "Ho, ho, ho" in Sidney, Australia because it might be offensive to women. Give me a break.

Gotta agree with everything you have here Phil, although you might be generalizing a little with the NBA. I see quite a few young players that could possibly have the right stuff. I wish that the rule book for basketball would be put back in play evenly across the board.
I guess I miss the old days when guys at least had some class and didn't spend the majority of their time trying to be thugs and gansters. Today a lot players seem more occupied with their street image than with playing winning basketball.
