- The joys of being a fantasy owner: Your quarterback is David Garrard. While David Garrard is a good NFL quarterback, he's a game manager on a team that would prefer to run the ball all day, bad recipe for fantasy success. Since you're in a keeper league, your pickings are a little slim. The best chance for big production out of the QB spot? Matt Schaub, Mr. Pencil me in for 5 missed games due to injury. You decide to roll the dice because he has so many weapons and so much ability. 24 hours later, you sit down to watch some preseason football...and Schaub sprains his ankle.
- Ricky Rubio decides to stay in Spain for at least 2 years. This despite TWolves president David Kahn travelling out to Spain and putting an agreement to buyout Rubio from his club in writing before Rubio himself nixed the deal. Nice to see that diva behavior isn't limited to American teenagers.
- The Seahawks sign Edgerrin James because they realized what everyone else following the league knew: their RB situation stank. Of course, given that James is over 30 and couldn't hack it for the last 3 years in Arizona, their RB situation still stinks. Add in that 2/5 of their starting OLine is out, and that opening game at home versus the St. Louis Rams is looking like a tough win...excuse me while I go throw up.
- The Tampa Rays trade Scott Kazmir to the Angles for a 2 players, a bag of balls, and 4 tickets to Disneyland. This is what happens when your team has finite resources (in other words, you don't root for the Yankees, Mets, or Red Sox), but it's still a crying shame that it makes sense for Tampa to trade one of their top 4 starting pitchers to a team they would face in the first round of the playoffs if they made it. If you're a Red Sox fan, you're especially upset as you are much more likely to be the team that faces the Angles in the first round of the playoffs, and Kazmir owns your guys.
- And finally, Curt Schilling is interested in Ted Kennedy's now-vacant Senate seat. This is clearly a joke, but someone might want to tell Curt that, as I'm not sure he understands it.
