Barry Bonds signs with Yankees!
The New York Yankees have pulled out all the stops to win this season and have signed Barry Bonds to act as their DH. This comes on the heels of Jason Giambi being diagnosed with another stomach tumour (his first one was in 2004). Bonds is expected to practice with their Florida State League team for a couple of weeks before being called up to the majors. The terms of his contract are currently unavailable.

Cuban: For the first time in my life, I'm speechless The Dallas Mavericks have made it the first finals since 1971 to have two first-time participants, leaving their owner with nothing to say, a first as well. So, will the Mavs wilt under the Heat? Or the other way around?

Shaq, all but put critics to rest against Detroit.....I thought, he is the big Aristotle! The baddest man on the planet. Not only will they win this year but here comes a dynasty! He has (a) great coach, fans, teammates, and size advantage. The "sexy" pick would be Big-D, but something tells me we are all in for an epic. HEAT in 4.....maybe 5!
Cowboys and Patriots Super Bowl Bound? Peter King sure knows how to stir things up. The SI columnist tossed out Dallas and New England as his early Super Bowl picks. Who do you think will be there at the end of the 2006-2007 season in the NFL's biggest game?

seattle had a great o line. they traded half away
One guy, and his replacement, has quality starts under his belt. They will be fine.
seattle is still crying over the super bowl and the refs. they dont have the heart to go back.
F.Y.I. Holmgren signed an extension, that shows heart! He is a rich man with a couple rings. He quits now he still goes to Canton. I havn't heard any player say anything other than we'll just have to go get it next year. Holmgren made 2 remarks and it got blown up! They don't have to whine to show me anything, all I have to say is......Illegal block below the waist on Hasselbeck Hmmmmm.......!
Cavs take Series Lead with a Squeaker Down to the wire. Intense game. Cleveland comes from being counted out by many.

If they don't win game six, they have no hope. They HAVE to win game six!!
Miami Signs Marcus Vick Just keep him away from Ricky Williams.

Good for Marcus.
I don't know where you're getting your info from, tommytrump. Ray Lewis never played for the Dolphins. Neither did Corey Dillon or Michael Irvin
Tommy is clearly trying to say, other teams sign players w/ problems. Like the ones he listed, and the teams they play on.

20 years ago when a player got his leg stepped on, would it have made the 5-o-clock news? No because we didn't have camera's that could read the label on your boxers. There are plenty of "dirty" players out there, in the hall of fame. Football is tough, lets not over sensitize the game. Hockey players fist fight. Give the kid a break!
Texans Pass on Bush...Settle for Williams In 10 years we will all be looking at this moment as Houston's largest flop ever when they watch Reggie Bush become the next Barry Sanders, Matt Leinart become an All-Pro QB with his great mechanics and passing, and Vince Young become another Derek Jeter type in his clutch playing.

I hope Reggie goes anywhere but N.O. This is a Micheal Jordan, Sam Bouyee type situation. Although he's superman and all, there is no immediate fix for that franchise. Best chance to get good, is a quarterback. Drew Brees has proven to be mediocre at best. He will, however do for the next year or so, while they learn up the new kid. You cannot pass on an elite Q.B. under any circumstances. The farther down the ladder he falls, obviously, the teams get better. Jets, Raiders, Green Bay. He (Reggie Bush) belongs in one of those cities. He should have gone first!!

The reaction was about 50/50, then they all cheered. D'Brickashaw, and Mangold, maybe the best first round of all.
Players demand back wages Owner fires entire team.

This is the most non important issue, $650.00 you make money at your real job. Just play ball. If I had nothing to lose I would play for free. You don't get paid for beer league softball games. Spilled milk!

I don't play soft ball, I was putting there local arena team in the same catagory as beer league softball. We have a nifl football team where im from. The National champs the Tri City Fever. Many friends on the team. They don't play for the money, they play for fun. We have played 5 games were 4-1 we have had a different Q.B every game and still win. Not saying these guys are pushovers or anything. But this particular brand of football is as recreational as a softball team, thats all.

This is truly a case of the media trying to get us to do what we are doing. Wich is fine. It is very recreational, they have open tryouts most people make it. The games are great I love our team. But come on, they threatend to not play over the money so she had to get new players. To tell you the truth the fans who don't read the local paper won't notice, the parody is that even. Im not saying she isnt a total sleezball, just the angle of owner fires whole team in refusal to pay back wages is overexaggerated. If it were a sugnifficant amount of income, it would be a job protected by many many labor laws. She would go staight to jail. So obviously it is legaly a rec. activity

So why doesn't LNI step in she is by far not invincible. Her word means nothing. If they did not recieve wages, for federal taxable income that is illegal and she would go to jail. There must be something else going on

my first comment was premature, upon reading more facts, it is definitely more serious than I thought. But it just doesn't make any sense at all. It is still beer league level, however they deserve due respect just like me and you.

Kurt Warner came from the A.F.L., wich is not the same, if do your research. You will find in the afl, they make real money, it IS there job. In the nifl it is for fun. If you were exceedingly poor, like myself, you could not afford, cleats,gas,time off from your real job, or anything else involved in the extra expences. The people who play are more "well off" than lower class america. There has been no meals lost. They were ripped off, but wouldn't she go to jail if she deprived 50-75 players primary source of income? Wouldn't the irs know if they were paid or not? What about the B.B.B. Or anyone are we the only ones who know?

Chico I agree but I just was focusing on the over exaggeration of there league. They are nowhere near pro's. She is a scandalous person,..... who ripped off some guys. She should and probably will be punished. Primary or not is the exact deception that made this story in the first place.
