And that's that

Yeah, right. Alex Rodriguez at times came across like a fool. Others he showed how sorry he was and especially expressed remorse to his fans and teammates. Against my best wishes, this topic will not go away, but this week I'll have a reaction: the fact that 25 guys, including A-Rod, play this game called baseball. And because the game of baseball is not at fault, there are reasons to get excited about team that few have talked about thanks to A-Rod. For example, I've seen one or two articles on Chien-Ming Wang, a two-time 19-game winner coming back from a torn tendon in his foot that short-circuited his season last June. In this rotation, depending on your point of view, he's the Yankees' second or third starter.

MMA Junkie has started its coverage of UFC 95 with features on Troy Mandaloniz and Evan Dunham, and my piece on Chael Sonnen. Sonnen is easily misunderstood. Think of him as your mischevious kid brother who will not leave you alone. He'll poke and prod you, and get you riled up, but he means no real harm. That's Sonnen. His views are rather peculiar and with his experience stands a decent shot at defeating Demian Maia in London.
