Pods likely not in plans
Judging by Williams’ comments on Friday, it looks as if free-agent outfielder and leadoff man Scott Podsednik might not be in the team’s future fold either. Podsednik was given a second baseball life this past season by the White Sox, who brought him from his couch in Texas at the season’s outset to the Major [...]

Mulligan: Fire Lovie now
The head coach of a football team has a weird job. He’s the man in charge and the unquestioned ruler of his world, but the real power belongs to the players. A coach’s minions determine his fate — his subjects control the length of his reign — if a crop fails, the king is to [...]

Final blow for Weis?
After Saturday’s 23-21 loss to Navy, Notre Dame can officially be described as a football program in turmoil. Speculation about coach Charlie Weis’ position on the imaginary bun warmer will come from all the directions. Game No. 7 this season decided by seven points or fewer, decided in the final seconds. This one, though, won’t [...]

Clausen’s choice clouds ND future
The decision that will most impact the future of Notre Dame football will not be made by President John I. Jenkins, athletics director Jack Swarbrick, coach Charlie Weis or the small group of influential alumni who have served as behind-the-scenes power brokers in the not-so-distant past. The player whose right arm has been most responsible [...]

Hester has arrived
Anyone who doesn’t think Devin Hester is a legitimate No. 1 receiver hasn’t been paying attention to the past three games.
In that time, Hester has 21 catches, and only the Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald has more. Hester’s 21 receptions have produced 265 yards. Maybe even more impressive, in the past two games, Hester has been targeted [...] -
Cubs picked wrong guy?
Three years and three weeks ago, Joe Girardi interviewed for his dream job. He didn’t get it. That job, of course, was manager of Chicago Cubs.
Girardi is managing a $200 million ballclub in the World Series and, as I’m writing this, is one win shy of the team’s first title since 2000, when Girardi left [...] -
Damon a fit on Sox?
Johnny Damon, if the Yankees don’t bring him back, the White Sox look like a good fit. They need a leadoff hitter, and while they’d love to sign free agent Chone Figgins and move him to the outfield, he may get too pricy.

Would Wade-Rose work?
If the Bulls were smart Sunday, they wouldn’t just beat the Heat in their first game of the Dwyane Wade Recruitment Tour.They would clear out occasionally and let Derrick Rose work his wondrous, driving magic. They would encourage Joakim Noah to run the floor, power home a dunk and let loose one of his patented [...]

Lovie going nowhere soon?
In the haste to draw conclusions about Lovie Smith’s job status, let me be the first to tell Bears fans frothing at the mouth what they want to hear. Smith is going to be fired. Eventually.
The Bears once fired Mike Ditka. The Cowboys fired Tom Landry, Smith’s idol. It’s inevitable. It’s the NFL. It’s also [...]
Cubs rumors from GM meetings
After spending the last two winters trying in vain to acquire second baseman Brian Roberts and pitcher Jake Peavy, Cubs general manager Jim Hendry hopes he can unload Milton Bradley in quick fashion. But as the GM meetings began on Monday, there was no certainty that was possible. Texas may have the most interest, but [...]
Cutler and QB coach have frosty relationship
Very few have job security in a disappointing season and the focus after the results of two of the last three weeks is on defense right now. But offensive coordinator Ron Turner’s situation and that of staff on that side of the ball will come under even greater scrutiny if this season and the offense [...]
