Sports View By Leigh DouglasBaseball season is finally over. Would anyone really complain if they cut about 12 games off
season (is 150 not enough?). Now at least we wont have to hear about ‘the curse’, now we just have to take care of that goat and all will be well.
Is there really any doubt that Carlos Beltran is going to wind up a Yankee? He has gone from being one of
most underappreciated players in
game with
Royals, to having one of
greatest postseason performances. That one series against
Cardinals might have earned him
difference between a 10 to 12 mil a year to now a 16 to 18 mil a year.
It is about time to squash any and all talk of a ‘quarterback controversy’ in Cincinnati. The Bengals are not a contender, not yet at least. Why not let Carson Palmer play now, take his lumps now, so that in a year or two when
whole team is in a position to contend so will he. What good will playing Jon Kitna really do for
Bengals, at best he may be
difference between a 6-10 and an 8-8 season. Either way long term playing Palmer now is
best move for
Bengals, and I applaud Marvin Lewis for
foresight, and
courage to make such a move despite all
criticism.
Does anyone really miss
NHL?
If Jason White won
Hiesman last year, and now this year Adrian Peterson is
best player on
same team as White, how is Peterson not
favorite to win
Hiesman?
