MY TAKE

I don't think playing the Illinois/NW game at Wrigley Field was a bad idea, if the field could have accommodated it. This game was planned at least a year ago and it wasn't until a week out that the geniuses in charge realized there wasn't enough space in the one end zone. They did the right thing for safety sake but I think it took a lot from the game of football by only going one way.

Sticking with college football, I can't wait for next weekend. Rivalry week and the end of the season for most teams. The BCS system is living up to it's hype and I predict Boise State and/or TCU get left out of the big game with undefeated records. The national championship game will be LSU and Oregon.

Now the NBA... The awe inspiring Big 3 of the Miami Heat seem to be struggling. I thinks it's great that they have lost 5 of their first 13 games. Many (not me) thought this team would break the 95-96 Bulls' single season record in which the Bulls went 72-10. It took the Bulls 46 games to lose just 5 games. The Heat have already lost 5 in just 13. I don't even see them making it to the finals.

Finally MLB... Poor Derek Jeter is not getting the royal treatment he deserves from the Yankee management. He is a free agent and currently negotiations are under way between he, his agent, and the Yanks. Apparently the 3 year/45 million deal is an insult to him and everything he has done for the Yankees and the city of New York. I guess the 10 year/198 million deal he had wasn't enough ball fondling for him and his agent??? Look DJ, you have done a lot for NY but they have done a whole lot more for you you selfish prick. Take the deal you old homo and try not to end your career like Clemens or Favre did theirs.

Go Chiefs!!!!!

    Obviously, I will be rooting for the 6-5 Irish when they take on the 7-4 Trojans during rivalry week. I'm not a fan of Alabama nor Nick Saban, but part of me wants them to beat Auburn and give Cecil Newton some more $ for his son.

    As to Jeter...I couldn't agree more! I think 3 years for 45million dollars is more than fair. Mater of fact, I think the Yankees would be overpaying him at that price. He's 36 years old and a shortstop. You can't move him to 3rd or 2nd because you already got all-stars there. You've got Granderson in center. You're stuck with a 36 year old SS who's range is getting smaller. Last year he hit .270 with only 10 homers and 67 rbi. 3 years will put him at 39yrs old. Plus, a good point made that he just got finished with a 10 year 198million dollar deal. If he wasn't "Mr. Yankee" i'm not sure the Yanks would even be trying this hard to resign.
