Marian Gaborik is a great signing by the Rangers, Martin Havlat a puzzler to replace him in Minnesota. Lets see, we've lost our best player. Maybe we'll get lucky and find someone older, less talented and more fragile to fill the void. How about Martin Havlat? Then again, what do I know. The Oilers dump 60 year old Dwayne Roloson for 58 year old Nikolai Khabibulin. Guess Damian Rhodes or Red Light Racicot were unavailable.
Sore armed Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Pavano will be playing somewhere on the west coast this time next season. You read it here first.
Conspiracy theorists must be having a field day over the puzzling choice by the Timberwolves of Ricky Rubio with the fifth pick in the recent NBA draft. Shortly after the pick ESPiN hypester Stuart Scott was spotted delivering flowers to the T-Wolves corporate offices. It does seem a dream scenario for the four-letter network since now they only need dispatch one reporter to Minnesota to breathlessly cover both breaking stories. Anyone else suffering from Rubio-Favre overload syndrome yet?
Congratulations to Donte Stallworth for breaking the seemingly unbreakable record held by former major leaguer Steve Howe for throwing away second chances.
Diana Taurasi was cited recently for DUI following an apparent post-game celebration of a win over Seattle. Who says the girls can't compete? A Phoenix police spokesman said Taurasi would be charged under Title IX of the state traffic safety code.
Pirates trade rumors update: Look for Zach Duke to the Yankees for Fred Stanley and Cliff Johnson or straight up to the Angels for a bag of Doritos.
Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is taking flak for praising Adolf Hitler as a leader 'who got things done'. Ecclestone must be holding personal admiration for some of Hitlers' other 'policies' because if my history serves me Hitler had nothing to do with construction of the Autobahn.
Line of the year to date: Deb Carson of Fox Sports Radio on Manny Ramirez hitting a home run in his second game back 'The first home run in major league history hit by a pregnant woman'. It doesn't get much better than that. She's very easy to look at too.
Tragic events abound this weekend. The warrior Steve McNair was found shot to death in a downtown Nashville condominium. Meanwhile in news out of Kabul a rocket and mortar attack by Taliban scumbags on a US base resulted in the deaths of two tough former professional football players. Is anyone yet still not seeing anything wrong with using the word 'warrior' to describe well-compensated athletes? This horse has been beaten enough, point made. Condolences to the families of those two soldiers and to the McNairs.
Congratulations to Roger Federer for winning the Wimbledon final vs. Andy Roddick. Gotta give credit to Roddick too for playing his heart out. Going in I thought Andy Rooney would make a better matchup.
Major surprise signing of Rasheed Wallace by the Celtics. Upon signing no surprise that Commissioner Dave announced Wallace had been suspended indefinitely for signing with the Celtics.
