Sammy Sosa Does Not Come To You For A Contract Offer
Sammy Sosa is now 40 years old. And despite hitting a serviceable 21 homers and 92 RBI in limited action in 2007, he didn't play last year, and he probably won't play in 2009, either.

Alex Rodriguez's Madonna Problem Is Not Going Away
Even though we covered — okay I did — the crap out of the original rumors about Madonna and Alex Rodriguez's alleged relationship over the summer, there's been little else to say about it. Partially because the initial rumors seemed entirely implausible and preposterous. Most of that coverage was su...
Jimmy Connors Takes a Handsome, Distinguished-Looking Mugshot
So there was this weird story about Jimmy Connors getting arrested last weekend after some sort of fan altercation outside the UCSB/North Carolina basketball game.
