It all depends on compensation.
Patriots finish off the deal, of Matt Cassel (with Mike Vrabel) to the Chiefs, according to NFL reports.
The compensation is the thing, folks.
A second rounder, no. 34 overall, is all the Pats got.
A first and a second from the Chiefs would have been nice.
Maybe even a first and a swap of seconds, [...]

Here is a story that ran in today’s Eagle-Tribune about Stephon Marbury possibly joining the Celtics.

I would argue with anybody who says bringing on Stephon Marbury for the stretch drive (including playoffs) is not a good decision.

The Mikki Moore era is about to begin. Alert your local reptile dealer!
This from John Eligon’s great little New York Times feature from 2006.
Growing up in Gaffney, S.C., Moore, a self-professed country boy, used to find snakes in his grandmother’s backyard. When he returned home for the summer while at the University of Nebraska, his [...]
That incredulous looking point guard is headed to the Kings for a second-round pick.
On a completely unrelated note, everybody should check out Michael Lewis’ New York Times Magazine story about Shane Battier, the Houston Rockets and statistical analysis in the NBA. It’s been making the rounds on the Internet over the past few days. While [...]

The Newburyport hockey team is currently one of 19 teams being considered for the Super Eight Tournament. There seems to be several opinions regarding this news.
Some say the Clippers (12-2-3) are not worthy for consideration. They’re not currently in first place in the Cape Ann League. No Division 2 team has ever accepted an invitation, and [...]
