Here's an interesting story on Ray Felton's season to date. This quote from the article may be of particular interest to UNC fans:
"Before this season, Felton said it would be 'crazy' for him not to leave if he thought he would be a top-10 draft pick. He said that hasn't changed."The Red Sox might have trouble resigning Pedro, Nomar
Well, it's only the first week of spring training and one Red Sox player has already voiced his displeasure with how he's been treated--and it's not Pedro. Nomar Garciaparra, not happy about the whole A-Rod fiasco says it might be very difficult for him to return to Boston after his contract expires this year.
What will be more interesting is how new coach, Terry Francona, deals with all the extraneous, non-baseball stuff as he still tries to win games. While Grady Little apparently couldn't manage on the field, many players cited him as the glue that held last year's team together through some rough patches. Francona could be the smartest baseball mind in the world, but how will he respond when Manny decides to call in sick to work, and then proceeds to have drinks at the hotel bar with the enemy?
Bruce Arians Profile
The new Steelers wide receiver coach is profiled on Steelers.com. Here's what he had to say about Hines Ward:
"I have all of the respect in the world for him. The hardest thing in the world is to get wide receivers to do is block and his reputation is fierce. We want to keep that up and keep his leadership quality at the same level and even greater."Bettis not worried about reduced role or reduced salary
"I don't have a problem with that (a backup role)...It is to be decided on the field."-Jerome Bettis, talking about his role with the Steelers in 2004.
