UMass rolls
Starting off the season with a legit win for the Minutemen... beating Cal Poly... a nice 26-2 run in the second half helped them pull this one out... the boys will be scoring ALOT this year...

Troy Williamson
The Minnesota Vikings fined WR Troy Williamson for missing last Sunday's game. Williamson missed the game to attend his Grandmother's funeral; his Grandmother who helped to raise him. Good job Vikings. Sorry some things are right and some things are wrong, regardless of the legal aspect. It may be legal for the Vikings to do this, but it also makes them look like huge jackasses. Just very bad way to treat your players.

Patriots, Randy Moss, Draft
The 49ers have a VERY good chance of getting one of the top 3 picks in this year's NFL Draft. And as we know, that pick is going to the Patriots.
Do you remember what it cost the Patriots to get that pick?
After you cut through all the trades..... it cost the Patriots GETTING RANDY MOSS to get the 49ers 2008 pick.
The Pats gave the Niners their 2007 1st round pick for their 2008 1st round pick and their 2007 4th round pick. The Pats traded that 4th round pick to Oakland for Randy Moss.
So.... essentially, The Pats got a top 3 first round pick in 2008 AND get Randy Moss for the 25th pick in the first round in 2007.

Birds
What are the Birds up to this offseason. They've released Kris Benson, and RP Kirt Birkins. They signed John "T-bone" Shelby to be the first base coach. Huge offseason so far.
They need to upgrade 3b, 1b, lf, DH. And something has to be done with M.Tejada. He's the one position player (outside of N.Markakis) that might have some trade value. They really need to move him.
Also, Ray is out all next year. So the backend of the bullpen needs a tune-up.
I will go insane if they sign some ~34+ year old on the downswing in their career. (Read: Randy Winn, Kenny Lofton, Luis Gonzalez, etc. Also, if they sign someone like Jose Mesa to compete for the closer role, I will drive to Baltimore and strangle Mike Flannigan and any other Front Office personnel I can get to before security jumps in.) . Also, don't trade E.Bedard unless in helps the team get better, not worse. (Note: Given that they don't seem to know the difference between better and worse, its probably safer to just not trade him.)

Schilling
The Schilling deal is good for both sides. I think he wanted to finish in Boston and they gave him a good fair offer with loads of incentives. Got it done quick, so you know Schilling wanted to be there.
As for Ellsbury, its his job to lose. You don't start in the WS and then go into Spring Trainng as the backup. Red Sox will either release Crisp or if he's willing to be the 4th OF, he will be there, in that role (plus as an insurance policy). My guess is he gets released. I don't think they will be able to deal him, unless they pay a high % of his contract. They have no leverage to deal him, unless if they are willing to take a non-high prospect minor leaguer or two.
