What about Bob? Glauber's NFL Blog

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:12:44 +2000

It's not a ligament, it's a torn lateral meniscus. The Giants just put it out in a press release. Tom Coughlin had said afterward last night's game against the Jets that doctors had found no ligament damage. That meant cartilage was the most likely problem. Umenyiora had an arthroscopic surgery in college in the same knee to address a cartilage problem. I don't want to press any panic ...

Grammar police punished for 'fixing' sign - Criminal weirdness- msnbc.com

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:37:59 +2000

PHOENIX - When it comes to marking up historic signs, good grammar is a bad defense. Two self-styled vigilantes against typos who defaced a more than 60-year-old, hand-painted sign at Grand Canyon National Park were sentenced to probation and banned from national parks for a year. They had removed an extraneous apostrophe and added a comma to the sign. Jeff Deck and Benjamin Herson ...

NEW YORK METS SIGN RELIEF PITCHER AL REYES - New York Post

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:11:52 +2000

The Mets today tried another avenue to upgrade their bullpen by signing Al Reyes, who was recently waived by the Tampa Bay Rays, to a minor-league contract, The Post has learned. Reyes was released by the Rays on Aug. 9 when he refused an assignment to the minor leagues. For Tampa Bay this season, Reyes was 2-2 with a 4.37 ERA, but was on the disabled list twice. In 2007, serving as the ...

NEW YORK YANKEES SEND MELKY CABRERA TO MINORS, WAIVE RICHIE SEXSON - New York Post

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 19:11:37 +2000

In a move designed to boost the Yankees' sagging offense, the team today will demote Melky Cabrera to the minors, waive Richie Sexson, and promote Brett Gardner and Cody Ransom from Triple-A, The Post has learned. It is a dramatic fall for Cabrera, who plummets from starting center fielder back to the minors and -- perhaps most important -- to an uncertain future with the organization. He ...

Brett Favre Has 7 Fingers

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:51:23 +2000

Sharp-eyed reader KM wondered last week about the extra fingers on Brett Favre's right hand in this new Donruss card. Duh! How do you think he's been able to throw the ball so hard for the past two decades? He has a much better grip than ordinary humans. It's either that or, as a person with alleged knowledge of the situation explained to me, someone was helping Brett hold up the jersey ...

Where In The World Is Barry Bonds? MAUI!

A loyal Final Score reader e-mailed spotted Barry at his hotel pool in Maui, and then e-mailed me this report straight from that gorgeous Hawaii island: "So far I can tell you yesterday he was chilling by the pool and he went down the waterslide a couple times. After that he just went to watch his son do a snorkle lesson. He also wears crocs so I am seriously questioning his sense of style."

Mon, 4 Aug 2008 18:49:52 +2000

Whatever happens with Brett Favre today, chances are it will only leave you more cynical. The shame is that, in the not so distant past, Favre was the pure guy, the untouchable, the great teammate who played for the love of the game. Now he shows up in training camp having spent the last few days contemplating how much it would have cost the Packers to keep him retired. FAVRE-WATCH The ...

Déjà vu all over again: One Red Sox official says it's a "longshot" that the team will trade left fielder Manny Ramirez. The Mets probably represent the Sox's best hope, but Mets officials continue to insist they are not interested. This Red Sox fan will probably get his wish. (Charles Krupa / Associated Press) Ramirez will waive his no-trade clause if a team agrees to make him a free ...
