1. Kotsay in town - What a quiet but good move for the Sox getting this veteran. It reminds me a little of the Bobby Kielty deal from last season, which was also low risk and extremely high reward when Kielty hit the game winning home run in the World Series.
2. Big time Brady - Yeah, he hasn't played a preseason game yet, but he did find time to buy a $11 million home on the same street as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wait, he didn't even get a house for $11 mil? Just land? Looks like we can't talk about how Brady doesn't get paid enough anymore.
3. The goat - Think you had a bad day? Not as bad as A-Rod. For your reading pleasure:George King, Joel Sherman, Tyler Kepner, Mark Feisand and Mike Lupica break down the man, the myth, the scapegoat for any Yankees failure.
4. QB battle in NE - No, it doesn't involve Brady or his ridiculously priced home...er...land. Matt Cassel will be fighting for just a roster spot against Matt Gutierrez this week. I'm putting my money on Matty Gutz.
5. Instant replay - Believe it or not, I don't mind it. Even the umpires have admitted that the new ballparks and features (Monster Seats) have made it almost impossible to call home runs. If it expands, I will regret these words, but for now I think it's a good idea.
6. Merriman to play - Wow, doctors told him to opt for surgery. Without it, he could get a career-ending injury or maybe never be able to walk without a cane. Hey, it's nothing a good steroid, I mean B-12 shot, couldn't fix.
7. Language barrier - So the LPGA is forcing its members to speak English now. Could be about marketing, or it could be about keeping the Korean players from continuing to dominate the sport. Either way, it sounds pretty discriminatory.
8. Good luck Eckel - The Pats waived the U.S. Naval Academy grad yesterday, and it wasn't much of a surprise. The backfield was simply too crowded, but I know Belichick expressed multiple times how much he respected Eckel (Belichick's father coached at Navy). He was a hard-nosed player for the Pats whose value on special teams was never recognized enough by the fans or media. He'll catch on somewhere for sure.
9. Darius Miles signs with Celtics - Why the hell not? At least maybe he can get us all free tickets to see Perfect Score 2.
