A-Rod a Mud Hen? Alex Rodriguez was offered a lucrative minor league contract from the Toledo Mud Hens. Of course it came from one of George Steinbrenner's sons. Will this be the only offer he gets considering he is asking for a $350 million contrat just to begin negotiations?

If somebody is dumb enough to give arod anything even close to 350 million-he deserves every penny.nobody can force these schmucks to pay these ridiculously outrageous amounts of money,they decide that themselves.that mud hens thing is pretty comical though.

Just like "cheating" on your taxes,if THE MAN doesn't catch you,there is no crime.all the speculation about his head,his body,whatever is not enough for a conviction.if something that didnt even exist,when the law was made,how is it illegal?if there is no way to detect it,how is it banned?baseball had rules against gambling clearly posted in the club house for X years.if they didn't want people taking that stuff,allegedly,they should have had rules.like it or not,Barry Bonds played by the rules as they were written.oh yeah,comparing Bonds to ken lay is just plain stupid.lay knowingly financially raped untold thousands of people.how many people lost their pensions because a baseball player more home runs than usual?
The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves Wisconsin youth football coach threatens to kill one of his own players, then administers a helicopter slam, just to drive the message home. You know, maybe we should sign the kids up for the Debate Club instead.

If he dont want his kid taking a hit,legal or not,he shouldn't let the boy play.if he doesn't have enough control to stop himself from assaulting a child,he should not be coaching.maybe he and his son should take up ballet.

all halloween is is an excuse for kids to overindulge on candy,and for people to dress like idiots.all Kitna did was dress like an idiot that he knew personally.
Raptors fan sues for front row seats A disgruntled Toronto Raptors fan who last year paid $120,000 for front row seats "right next to the coach" has filed a million dollar lawsuit against the basketball team's parent company after it said it would install a new row of courtside seats in front of his.

there isnt any room for seats in front of where the team sits.they build more seats up there,the people will be sitting on the three-point line.I think dude has the right to be upset,but that's not worth a million dollar suit.if he dont want to pay the rape,I mean rate increase,dont but the tickets.
NBA Offers New Rules For Referees NBA Commissioner David Stern revealed that over 50% of the league's officials violated league gambling rules, but maintained that Tim Donaghy is the only ref to have bet on basketball games. Stern said the league is introducing new rules and procedures for referees, such as not revealing the officials for a game until the morning of the game, and allowing referees to gamble in casinos during certain times of the year, and to play state lotteries. The Commissioner also pledged to be more forthcoming with the public regarding officials' mistakes, and said he'll take no action against Isiah Thomas and the Knicks until their appeal process is completed.

This rule he decides not to punish anybody for violating,but the one about leaving the bench is ALWAYS enforced with suspension.nice stern,real nice.
Max McGee unexpected hero of Super Bowl I dies in home accident. McGee had caught only four passes for 91 yards during the 1966 regular season and, not expecting to play against the Chiefs, violated the team's curfew and spent the night before the game partying.

Leave Steve Bartman Alone! Now that the Chicago Cubs have returned to the playoffs, Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti thinks the scorn heaped on Steve Bartman for the foul ball grab has made the infamous fan darker, sadder and lonelier. "I'm sorry," Mariotti writes. "And, really, Cubdom should be sorry, too. Without knowing his identity, I scolded him in print for acting like a dummy fan who should have known better. Next thing you knew, crazy message boards on Major League Baseball's Web site were outing his name, turning an ugly scene at Wrigley -- who can forget Bartman burying his head in his jacket while beer and obscenities were hurled? -- into the beginning of his new, unfortunate life."

Was Bartman playing shortstop for the cubs?no.is he the one who threw the wild pitch?no.was he the only idiot reaching for that ball?stop me if you heard this:no.the cubs lost because of the nine players,or at least two of them on the field.the same reason they may win or lose this year.players make plays.
Howe boys staggered by cruelty of Dad's stalker-neighbours Mark Howe says the family tried to be civil but could simply take no more. "If it was still back in my playing days, one shift on the ice would settle this."

Darko Milicic has an interest in meeting the families of referees Milicic, newly acquired by the Memphis Grizzlies, apparently wasn't too thrillled with the officiating during a Serbia loss to Greece in the European Championships. Check out both the video of his postgame interview and the translation provided by a helpful Freep reader.

Milicic is in the running for worst top-five lottery pick ever.all this did was get him more votes.if he put as much heart into being a player as he put into being a sore loser,he might have been somebody.
Jaguars Will Dump Leftwich, Rely on Garrard to Start In a dramatic about face from all of the happy talk this preseason between Byron Leftwich and Coach Jack Del Rio, the Jacksonville Jaguars will drop their four-year starter and elevate David Garrard to the position. If anyone's looking for a gutsy, slow-footed, cannon-armed quarterback who takes more debilitating hits than the Black Knight on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Leftwich is available for trade until 4 p.m. Saturday.

Garrard is no where near what you need as a starter.he can't consistently make the throws.with Taylor and Drew,you don't need another runner.Thats the only thing Garrard is good at.

It is kind of messed up that you get judged more for the 2 games you lose,more than the 9 or 10 you usually win.is it the coaches fault that his best 2 players were either unavailable,or virtually ineffective most of the year?all props to Carr.I hope the next guy gets a fair chance to carry on the tradition of the winningest football program in college history
