No not that kind of free agency. Jeter is locked down, and is most likely locked down with the Yankees as well. He is one of many free agents this offseason that should create quite a stir. The others include Carl Crawford, Jayson Werth, Cliff Lee, and Victor Martinez. There are 142 in total.
The most intriguing are probably Crawford and Lee. My guess would be Lee would like to get back into the postseason as quickly as possible after the way the World Series ended. My guess would be Lee ends up with the Rangers. The Tampa Bay Rays will lose a big piece to their sputtering offense when Crawford signs elsewhere. Exec’s in Tampa have their fingers crossed it’s not NY or Boston. I think Jayson Werth ends up in Boston, personally.
Either way, expect a fair amount of action this offseason. The Yankees didn’t win the World Series so you know they’ll be up to something.
I’m not sure how most of your basketball experiences were in high school but I came from a very white, Jewish town where competition at the local JCC was pretty fierce. It’s not like we had a ton of talent on our squad but we were still a decent bunch. And yet holy shit. I had undoubtedly the worst coach in the history of sports.
This is a man who first and foremost is an 8th grade English teacher. He’s about 6’3. He played hoops back in his day. He’s got a smooth jumpshot and loves to watch himself shoot. He knows very little about the game and how to utilize players and he 100% plays guys according to how much he likes them.
However, overall he’s a nice guy. This isn’t a defamation of his character rather a calling out on his lousy coaching.
Here goes….
I know I run the risk of appearing, umm, feminine by my making this comment but as I was watching football Saturday I made a small observation. Oregon’s uniforms are ugly. Then as I was watching NFL Red Zone Sunday, I noticed the NFL isn’t really full of a lot of cool uniforms.
I’m not saying I want flashy uniforms, but there aren’t a lot of teams out there with cool colors and logos. Particularly in MLB. So while risking my masculinity, I give you the coolest Logos in team sports.
Take a look…………..
For the Record: As I was doing this article Troy Aikman said he thought the Patriots throwback was “sharp” and was digging on their uniforms. See everyone looks. And I disagree Troy.

Tonight Cliff Lee and Tim Lincecum square off again. It’s the World Series, Game 5, two aces on the hill. Monday Night Football and Dancing With The Stars will definitely have higher ratings. MLB exec’s are not happy campers these days.

Don’t know who the Seattle Mist are? Well shame on you because they are the Pacific Northwest’s foray into the Lingerie Football League. And they have cheerleaders. Yes, they have cheerleaders that cheer on hot girls in lingerie playing football.
Could this league be any better? There’s absolutely no way unless nudity is introduced into the league.

Miles Austin’s world is crumbling before his eyes. Thank goodness he just signed a contract. He’s dropping passes left and right. His team sucks. And now he’s turning emo about losing Kim Kardashian. Anyway, his issues have hit twitter (pretty much status quo for every celeb) saying…..
Sometimes u have to fall down to know where u stand
Unable to hold back Kardashian wrote on her twitter….
Those are some pretty wise words
This lead to another exhange, in total making this situation totally pointless and stupid that I have to even report such happenings…
Austin retorted, Yea, I stole your quote!, before she politely corrected him. And the quote really goes ‘sometimes it takes a good fall to know where you stand’ [Cite] your source!
Stole your quote? That’s the dumbest quote of all time. I’m worried about Austin man. Getting owned on Twitter by quite possibly the dumbest human being on the planet. I think he may have realized he had the goods and shouldn’t have let them go. He’s reeling right now, if I were you I’d trade him from your fantasy team….
I don’t know about you Knicks fans but I’m feeling something different about this year’s squad. Is it the same crap that I feel every single year? Hope? As a fan you’re always trying to be optimistic and hopeful that this just might be the year that the garden is rocking again. But yes, it is that feeling that keeps me a fan.
Does anyone remember how awesome the playoff atmosphere was in the 90s with the Knicks? Hell I remember going to a series against the Hornets in 1994. I’ve never heard a crowd that loud. Man I miss it. I miss the connection of the fans. I miss that dorky white guys and slick black guys were slapping hands in an arena where they never otherwise would.
I miss how tough the Knicks were. I miss Oakley. I miss Starks. I miss Mason. I miss Ewing. I miss ‘em all. Can the Knicks bring back a glimmer of hope this year?
Honestly I think they can. And here’s why. Amare Stoudemire and Raymond Felton…..
Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant, you name him. We watch these guys play, and we know they’re headed to the Hall. Interestingly enough, there are some guys we see play and don’t really put 2 and 2 together and acknowledge the fact this guy is headed to sports immortality. The Hall of Fame doesn’t come easy. We’re talking about the greatest players of all-time in their respective sports.
For whatever reason, it’s hard to look at some of these guys as Hall of Famers, but they are all but locks.
Take a look…..
