Random Sports Thought

I’ve been busy lately so I haven’t blogged in a while.

Packers are 6-1

I have no idea how a team can be 6-1 with virtually no running game, but Favre is having a great year. Last night’s finish was another classic to add to the list.

Red Sox sweep

It’s hard for a Yankee fan to say this, but that’s a good Red Sox team. Beckett is Mr. October.

A-Rod gone

A-Rod is getting slammed for the way he exercised his opt-out clause. It’s a business and he has every right to try to get as much money as possible. But if you are asking for a 10 year deal you can’t say that the reason you opted out is because you aren’t sure if Posada, Rivera and Pettitte are coming back. They are all likely to be retired four years from now.

If you want a ten year deal and you want to win, you have to look at the teams that are most likely to remain competitive for the next ten years. That’s a short list. Yankees and Red Sox are clearly at the top of the list. If you want a ten year deal and you want the most money, that’s another matter.

And don’t have your agent announce the opt-out during the World Series. Show some class…
