Having Wang, Mussina, Chamberlain, Rasner, and Pettite is nice to have especially considering that Mussina is tied for the most wins in the American League.Last year at this time exactly, the Yankees were ten games behind the Boston Red Sox. After all, it’s out of the question that they’ll get to the playoffs by exhibiting an 81-81 record at season’s end.With that said, there is not a solid reason to be gloomy either.The Yankees’ starting rotation just got a whole lot better by adding Joba Chamberlain. There is no question that 28-28 is not where the Yankees would like to be right now. Katie Strang reports in the Newsday Islander blog on Monday the club has resigned Tim Jackman to a one year contract with the deal structured in a way he will make above the league minimum at the NHL level, but will make only $100,00 at the AHL level which will allow him to avoid having to clear re-entry waivers.Both Newsday & the Isles website have general manger Garth Snow’s comments on the signing. Charles Wang on the Lighthouse website also had a few words on the recent meetings Monday regarding the project..

Throwing a decent post seems to be bothering him also.Not many folks will draft Young high in Fantasy Football due to his lack of touchdowns and passing yards. Spoiled, glumness, woe is me warbling won’t help him nor the Titans.Its only June During the long, hot summer, felonies loom Coaches cry doom Players pistols go boom WideReceivers act like loons Careers end too soon. While watching the crime reports I shall keep ye steeped in the sordid details.Its a vile job being mired in the bile but damn it someone has to do it.Now write down Selvin Young….and hope he’s not a Rocky Mountain Pistol Packing Player.. Another miserable 24 year old multimillionaire threatening retirement because the game isn’t fun anymore.Poor dear The day the fun stopped Black old sun bothering Young. Al Davis ring ring ring? Does Dan Snyder want the hassle? Does the league want thespectacle of a house arrested playershuttling back and forth?Whats with West Virginia Mountaineers anyway, assembling Henry and Pac Man Jones on the same team?Tennessee Titan Coach Jeff Fisher will never play Pac Man again, but he has bigger problems with an angst filled millionaire man child quarterback who seemingly can not complete simple passes.Vince Young is not a felon but he seems depressed. But he is aging, the Indianapolis Colts plug in players, and Killadelphia, er I mean Philadelphia, has so many murders of late that a mere wounding by an unknownassailant matters little to the over worked Police.But Marvin has been hurt and in slow decline…a potential off season felony in the City of Brotherly Love obviously doesn’t help his situation.ExCincinnati Bengal Chris Henry patiently sits house arrested awaiting a call to make his comeback.

The coddled ex Texas star is heading to the post Payton scrap pile filled with Curtis Enis, Brad Muster, Salaam,and the other busts.Can’t Tom Jones come back to the green, green, grass of home?Avoid any Bear offensive player as in the words of oneunnamed NFL scout they have assembled “the worst collection of offense talent on any team in recent history.”Amen Brother Bears! Here comes the Rex and Kyle Traveling Air Show.Marvelous Marvin Harrison’s shaky knees and pistol finger makes hisstatus uncertain. Likely with some Bob Marley tunes and some good smokes.But Benson has bigger problems with the Chicago Bears Namely he runs like he is under the influence of good smoke. Rasta Runner Rashaan Salaam used to actually do that while playing for the Bears.Look for Adrian Peterson and Rookie Matt Forte to steal most of Benson’s carries, whether he is innocent or guilty Benson’s burst and blocking are lacking. Best practice Oh Canada!Sleepy running Cedric Benson also was busted for boating with too many beers in his belly Benson denies this. With his best years ahead of him, he could well be plying his trade in one of the best European Leagues come the start of next season.Anyukov will be a key part of Russia’s attacking strategy, especially with club team-mate Andrei Arshavin banned for the first two games of the tournament.Think of a European version of Sevilla’s Daniel Alves, with less diving but fewer spectacular goals.  He also defends with pace and strength. Sabri Sarioglu (Turkey)This very pacy 23-year-old right back or winger is one of the new stars of Turkish football.

No Marshawn? Did he crash and dash? If he fled the scene its a felony and its hello fast Freddie Jackson his free agent back up.TheBills looked liked a sleeper team, quietly improving through the draft but thestatus of the star throws the whole offense into turmoil.A Big Denver Bronco Bye Bye to Travis Henry…hello sleeping star Selvin Young. The infusion of talent in Ellis and McCray coupled with the veteran leadership of Grant and Smith gives New Orleans a lot to look forward to.They may not be at a Super Bowl level yet, but the Strahan, Umenyiora, Tuck potential is certainly there.  . So you thought the Buffalo Bills would be big and Marshawn Lynch would be a monster?In the blink of a Bills eye think again.The promising player’s car was involved in a Hit and Run in which a bystander was injured. He scored a hat trick as a substitute against Montenegro just yesterday (May 31), to take his tally to nine goals in 25 games for Romania.  Aleksandr Anyukov (Russia): An unsung hero of Zenit St Petersburg’s UEFA Cup winning run, Anyukov is a buccaneering right back of the highest class.He now has 29 caps as he approaches 26 years of age. What won’t go unnoticed though is if he can help bolster the Saints’ pass rush.

McCray is a speed guy who plays best coming off the edge.If he can put consistent pressure on the quarterback from the outside, the Saints can then think about moving Grant towards the interior at times. That would give Gary Gibbs a world of stunt and blitz packages to play with. To sum it all up, the Saints are somewhat stacked along the front line heading into the upcoming season. If you read the details of the case, you’ll understand that Grant is only being targeted because of his wealth and fame. The charges being brought against him are thoroughly bogus and he should be exonerated fairly quickly and easily.I expect a bounce back year from the bug-eyed, dread locked No. “We are winning the rest of our games.” His prediction was a bit off, but it’s his positively that counts. In addition, for those worried about whether or not legal troubles will plague Grant this season, don’t be. “12-0,” he said when asked what his prediction for the rest of the year was.
