The Hardcore Sports Radio crew at "Drive This!" mentioned that Jim Rome at one point made $15 million a year, such was his success building his fan base. That is incredible...the Washington Nationals have been shut out 15 times this year...DC United of the MLS draws better TV ratings than said Nationals. That's a big deal, as is the news that franchise fees are up to $40 million now, where Toronto FC got in for $10 million just three years ago...the Green Bay Packersoffered Brett Favre $20 million - paid over 10 years - to stay retired. If his agent has a soul or brain, he recommends he take it. Can you imagine that? You were going to shut it down with no payment, now someone is offering you $20 million to do what five months ago you said you would?...UFC is talking of a Anderson Silva vs. Rampage Jackson fight. Putting top guys like that together in short order is why UFC is so big. This, of course, assumes Rampage is of sound mind and, well, not in jail...I'm very afraid, as Derek Jeter has replaced Thierry Henry in the Gillette ads. Given the struggles that have met all the ads participants, this might hurt Jeter's ability to go to his left or hit for power. Oh, wait...LA Dodgers second baseman and long time curmudgeonJeff Kent on his teammates: "I don't hang out with the guys — never have. I don't go out drinking, look at porn, have a girlfriend or get divorced — so I'm selfish." Wait, you mean to tell me you've got that 'stache and you don't check out porn? Lies!...the Toronto Maple Leafs couldn't get Scotty Bowman on board last year in a management role, but the Chicago Black Hawks just did. The Hawks are going to come real far, real fast in the coming seasons...remember that brawl Patrick Roy's son was in back in March? Well, he was finallly charged with assault. What took so long, a lack of evidence? The video was on, well, everywhere...there were 11 deadline deals on the day before deadline day last year, and this year, 14 total in July. Call it parity at play. Manny Ramirez landing in L.A. with the Dodgers has to be the big move, and if he can't play for Joe Torre, he just can't play. Jason Bay fills his spot in Boston which will disappoint only the media who loved the circus that is ManRam. Four prospects went to Pittsburgh in that three way dance. Winners at the deadline? The Yankees for certain (Xavier Nady, Domaso Marte, Pudge Rodriguez) and L.A. Angels of Anaheim (Mark Teixera). The Yankees also won huge because Yankee-killer ManRam is out of the division. Gonna be a great race!...have a great Friday.
