The Cleveland Browns signed former Tampa passer Bruce Gradkow
ski as their stopgap backup for the final month of the year.Gradkowski played his college ball at Toledo and spent two seasons in Tampa before being released after last season.
In the photo,Gradkowski runs for his life in a game against Pittsburgh,if he has to play in the season finale' against the Steelers,it is very likely he will be running for his life once again and very often as well..
Brady Quinn will undergo surgery on his damaged finger.
Smart move.
Do the surgery,be at 100 % for camp and take no chances.
The Devils eventually finished with a five game win streak before a loss in Pittsburgh on Saturday night ended the streak.
New Jersey will return to the ice in Philadelphia on Thursday against the Flyers.
Former Devil defender David Hale finally scored his first goal of his career last w
eek as a member of the Phoenix Coyotes.Hale scored the goal in his 231st game in the NHL and set a record for taking the longest to score his first goal....The Seahawks continue to stink the joint up,but as bad as they have been,they would only have the fifth overall pick in the draft,if the draft were held today.
Despite a pitiful 2-10 record,Seattle ranks behind the winless Lions,the 1-9-1 Bengals and lose tie breakers to fellow 2-10 teams from the state of Missouri in the Chiefs and Rams.
The Winston Salem Warthogs are no more effective Thursday.
The franchise will announce both their new name and logo then.
I liked the Warthog logo,so maybe they can use something similar in their new nickname.
Rhinos,maybe????
Look for an upcoming look at next weeks Rule 5 draft for the Pirates soon.
Last year's draft produced Evan Meek,who didn't pitch well in Pittsburgh,but threw very well in stints in Altoona and Indianapolis after arrangements were made with Tampa to enable Meek to return to the minors and stay with the organization.
Some interesting players are available including local autograph favorite Chuck Lofgren from the Indians......
The Pirates are talking to Mark Loretta of the Astros about a contract.
This could be a precursor to a trade of Jack Wilson.
Loretta has played all the infield positions,but I have severe doubts that at his age (37) that he can play shortstop full time in Wilson's absence.
But keep in mind that the Pirates signed Chris Gomez under similar circumstances last season and discovered that Gomez was incapable of doing so.
Monday,the Veterans committee for the Baseball Hall of Fame announces the results of their voting.
Three past Forgotten Superstars are in considerations in Dick Allen,Tony Oliva and Al Oliver,but the leader to get an induction could be former Cub hot corner man Ron Santo.....
Allie Reynolds leads my vote on the pre-1941 ballot....
The regular HOF election results will be announced in January as Jim Rice gets his final swing at a deserved induction.
Sean Avery is crude and classless.
No kidding,like that is news,but his comments while uncalled for aren't worth suspending him for.
Very PC in my opinion by the NHL.
But hey,it keeps the ass off the ice,why not?!!
Tennessee sure swung and missed on Lane Kiffin.
What could make the Vols think that Kiffin is a qualified SEC head coach?
Because the senile Al Davis hired him on the cheap for the Raiders????
Brian Kelly of Cincinnati would have made far more sense and a much better hire...
I think that catches us up.
Back tomorrow with anything that catches my eye and that might be a Forgotten Superstar....
