The players’ union has nixed the Alex Rodriguez deal so far, saying there isn’t any “actual or potential benefit” to A-Rod to restructure his contract for the Red Sox. So making the play-offs is no great improvement over
25 games out of first?
2. And Fresno St.
Tough day for George Ryan after being
indicted for taking gifts, free vacations and payoffs. The good news? He’s being recruited by UNLV.
3. Finishing flat
The Bulls fell short in their latest attempt at a threepeat. That’s “peat,” not “way.” These are still NBA players.
4. Top of the list
Less than a month after retiring, Alonzo Mourning will receive a kidney transplant. Sadly, Eddie Robinson is still looking for a donor heart.
5. King of the world
You know Steve Spurrier coached Rex Grossman at Florida. You know Grossman talked his way into Spurrier’s office as a high school junior. You know they talked football and watched film. What you don’t know? The movie was “Titanic” and Spurrier cried like a baby.
SIXTHMAN
6. Handle with care
Alex Zhamnov’s return to the Blackhawks will be delayed until doctors clear him for contact. So don’t go patting him on the back just yet.
