Beltran to the Mets for $119 million. Pedro Martinez for $too much million. Possibly Sammy Sosa? Omar Minaya is really retooling the Mets for next year. Is he overpaying for talent? Sure. Will the talent pay off? Ask me in September 2005. But if you're a Mets fan (if there are any left), you've got to be happy with what they've done. Quite frankly, though, I think they are throwing money at the problem, possibly too much on not enough players (oh, the problem is that they've sucked). And they are pursuing Carlos Delgado too. Keep your eyes on this one - I wonder if Omar is operating "...the team according to King George...".
Today's speculation: Will Brett Fav-ruh retire? I'm a Vikings fan, but I hope not. That guy is a pleasure to watch. He's (only) 35, and still has a few good years left on the body. Come back Brett, so Minnesota can KICK YER BUTT again!
UCONN, my beloved Huskies, looked awful last night again Oklahoma. The Sooners made them look out of synch, unorganized, and exposed the MAJOR (and I mean MAJOR) flaw in Storrs; no point guard. Sure, they've got Rudy Gay to replace Ben Gordon, Josh Boone's numbers are similar to Emeka Okafor's as a soph, but who replaces Taliek Brown? They will tumble out of the top 20 I bet after last night. Ugly game, all in all.
Interesting article - they are already speculating on the bracket. UCONN gets a #4 see in the West. Are they in the top 16 teams in the country? Hmmmmmmm.
Randy Moss is likely getting fined for his little mooning incident in Green Bay. HAH! Like the fines of Joe Horn and TO, this is a slap on the wrist in terms of cost to Randy Moss, he'll gladly pay the fine as long as he got to moon the GB fans and win the game. Lemme tell you, the NFL is getting stupid. TO's sharpie incident, Horn's cell phone, and Moss' mooning are all funny in my mind. And all part of the smack talking that players do. I can't believe they are cracking down THAT much. Maybe the No Fun League would rather have Randy scream "you people in Green Bay are *@!%*#$^, and you #(^$*#@^ suck!". If you listened to the abuse, both PG and XXX rated, that many professional players have to endure, a little moon (not a REAL moon by the way) fun surely can't hurt their feelings. Classless? Not really. Poor taste? Well, there are other ways, but come on, give them a little leeway please. Sheesh...
NHL news...there is no NHL. But there IS an interesting story about a woman who was given permission to sue Madison Square Garden for getting hit by a puck during a Ranger game (no comments on the Rangers missing the net, it's too easy). I wonder, since she sued them last year, if she saw an opportunity to sue the MSG folks after the Brittany Cecil incident and the subsequent raising of the protection nets. It seems in 2002 she didn't sue them (or maybe think she had a cause to sue them), and the NY state supreme court dismissed her suit against the Rangers and the NHL, but she's still searching for cashola, so she's not pursuing the MSG. Tilam, should this be covered by "assumption of risk"?
