In what has to be a first, a Scott Boras client didn't take the highest offer. Come to find out Mark Teixera had an offer of $185 million from the Washington Nationals, $5 million more than the New York Yankee offer he accepted. Some things just aren't worth the money...if there's one thing we ought to have learned this year, it is that handicapping a UFC card is about as easy as winning a lottery. UFC92 goes tonight and it could well be the card of the year with three fights that could headline a pay-per-view by themselves: Forrest Griffin vs Rashad Evans, Wanderlei Silva vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson - who is coming back after his scrape with the law - and Antonio Noguiera vs. Frank Mir to see who faces Brock Lesnar for the heavyweight title...add Roy E. Williams to the list of disgruntled Dallas Cowboys, and for good reason. For a team to move a first, third and sixth rounder for a guy and give him $45 million over five years and throw him the odd four yard sideline pass just isn't a good way to use what should be every bit a prime time player...somehow, Jerry Jones says Wade Phillips and the Cowboys coaching staff will return intact for 2009. Less clear is why Phillips would keep his job into this weekend nevermind next year given the circus that has been the Cowboys this year...like today's picture? Check out 49 other vanity plates that slipped through the cracks. And yes, RM's "Bukkake" is from Alberta...true story: the New York Yankees were on sale in the 1970's at the same time the Seattle Pilots were. The latter sold for $13 million versus the $10 million George Steinbrenner paid, and would become the Milwaukee Brewers. Good investment, Bud Selig, but not a great one...it has been over a week since GBVH passed on a piece from the Toronto Star's Toronto FC beat writer Morgan Campbell that noted the silence coming from Toronto FC and Dwayne De Rosario since the latter was traded there weeks ago. If the saying "where there's smoke, there's fire" is true, what is it when there is utter silence? Surely this has to be an indication there is something not right...have a great Saturday.
