Today the NY Yankees signed Alex R to a contract that will pay him $275 million over 10 years. There are 162 games in the regular season. If you do the math this works out to $169,753 per game. Assuming Alex averages 5 at bats per game he earns $33,950 every time he steps up to the plate. Not...

I just finished a great read called "Playing for Pizza" by John Grisham. Usually J Grisham writes legal novels but this one is about a washed up NFL quarterback who winds up with the Parma Italy Panthers in the Italian footbll league. Great story and it also delves into the world of agents. I...

This is about the only time of the year that I get interested in baseball. Lets vote for who will win the World Series. In the American League we have the Redsox,the Indians,the Angels and the Yankees. In the National League we have the Cubs,the Rockies,the Phillies and the Diamondbacks. I...

Well what are the odds that OJ will do hard time?

Sometimes teams do not sell out. This coming Sunday the Jaguars are playing the Tn Titans and 900 more tickets need to be sold by Friday to avoid a blackout. Why can't the Jaguars buy the tickets,give them away and then recoup the ticket sale revenue. Seems to me it would almost be a wash. They...

That bitter nasty woman Leona Hemsley left $12million dollars to her dog. On the David Leterrman show the other night he said the dog should use the money to organize fights consisting of NFL players.

Anybody notice how the NBA Scandal about that referee who bet on games he worked is now off the radar screen. Lots of damage control on this one.

I just finished reading a great book about baseball. The title is The Entitled wriiten by Frank Deford who writes for Sports Illustrated, does commentary on NPR and HBO and has been awarded an Emmy and a Peabody (whatever they are). But it's a real good read about how a manager treats his star...

Well he sure is a hell of a guy. The NFL needs to send him packing asap. Lately it seems like the whole NFL is comprised of thugs and criminals. Bet even if he isn't suspended the Falcons will cut him before the season. I just read that the race card is becoming an issue for which I don't see...

Looks like the media is starting to play the race card as Bonds gets closer to breaking the home run record. I saw a poll today where only 28% of the whites think he did nothing wrong, but 78% of the blacks think he did nothing wrong. So as usual the media keeps stirring the race pot. I bet the...

How about Roger Clemens. He is 45 years old and will be earning $4.5 million a month from the Yankees and working every 4th day or so. I would be happy to earn $4.5 million for the rest of my life.

OK after watching some REAL basketball this weekend here is the outcome: Florida Gators 83 Kansas Jayhawks 75

Heard on a sport radio show today that two parents who have very disposable income hired Peyton Manning to be a suprise guest at their daughters sweet 16 birthday party. Peyton received $200,00 for a 2 hour appearance. Bet this girl will make some guy a wonderfull wife.

Hasn't this been a quiet week for the Super Bowl build up. I would have thought that we would have seen all sorts of stories (no offense intended) to the Super Soul Bowl being that that both head coaches are black men. Also all of the Manning stories,Hey Peyton uses Colgate,Eli uses Total,Archie...

OK go Figure,last week 8 teams were in the playoffs. My home team the Jacksonville Jaguars played and beat badly 5 of them. The Jags beat the Cowboys,NY Jets,NY Giants, Philadelphia Eagles,and the Colts, they lost to the Patriots by 3 points. So how can a team that can play at this level lose to...

Did anybody watch the monday night game where the Bears beat the Cardinals at the last minute. I had no interest in who won or lost but watching that Chicago guy run in for that last second touchdown made me think,man the NFL wants the bears to go undefeated and get to the Super Bowl. I counted...

Who would you rahet have for a boss. Jerry Jones or George Steinbrenner??

The other day I saw in the newspaper that the Atlanta braves fired Pat Morales who had been their bench coach for 5 years. Today I called a local sports program on the radio and asked"What does a Bench Coach do". The Sports announcer along with many other callers had no idea. So does anyone...

Don't look now but here comes DA BEARS.
