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?
