Enjoy!<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve got a little bit of everything in the sports world this Monday: trade rumors, retirement rumors, signings, ownership changes and…biting? Oh, hockey. You never cease to perpetuate your own stereotype.<\/p>\n
NBA news: Suns put Amare Stoudemire on the block<\/strong><\/p>\n Fading fast in the Western Conference standings, the Phoenix Suns are looking to make changes. Talks on an extension with Amare Stoudemire have collapsed and it appears they won\u2019t retain the big power forward. Teams like Chicago, Miami, New Jersey, Golden State and Cleveland, among others, have enquired. Though a sad, sad franchise like the Nets could really use the emotional boost, wouldn\u2019t that be a waste of an entertainment opportunity for us \u2013 the fans and bettors? Here\u2019s hoping the Cavs step up and make a serious play for him. Even Miami would become a lot more interesting by pairing Stoudemire with D-Wade.<\/p>\n NFL news: has Favre played his last game?<\/strong><\/p>\n Well, it\u2019s been less than 24 hours since Brett Favre\u2019s offseason began and I\u2019m already sick of the speculation. Will he or won\u2019t he? It\u2019s hard to imagine Favre retiring after he set career bests in completion percentage, quarterback rating and fewest interceptions this season. Then again, he\u2019s 40 years old. The Saints didn\u2019t sack him yesterday but they hit him with more than a dozen vicious shots, battering him and leaving him unsure of his future during post-game interviews. The Vikings can only hope he decides soon. If he does retire, will they give the ball to Tarvaris Jackson or call the Philadelphia Eagles about Mr. McNabb?<\/p>\n MLB news: Tejada returns to B-More, Hicks sells Rangers<\/strong><\/p>\n Unfazed by his mysteriously declining power and totally unknown age (if he lied the first time, how can we trust him now?), the Baltimore Orioles have brought back Miguel Tejada \u2013 this time to play third base. Cash-strapped owner Tom Hicks finally did what he had to and sold the Texas Rangers to a group of buyers that includes Nolan Ryan. More power for Ryan, eh? It\u2019s already scary enough to pitch for the Texas Rangers with Ryan as team president, as he \u201cdoesn\u2019t believe in resting arms\u201d and isn\u2019t afraid to run his youngsters into the ground. What will happen with him as owner? Hmm. All I know is that I\u2019d be afraid to date his daughter. Does he have a daughter?<\/p>\n NHL news: More biting between the Pens and Flyers<\/strong><\/p>\n Like two siblings who just can\u2019t get along, the cross-state rival Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers just can\u2019t stop biting each other. Last year, Penguin Kris Letang claimed that Flyer Scott Hartnell bit his finger during a scrum. Yesterday, Philly\u2019s Arron Asham said Matt Cooke chomped his finger during a melee. Payback, I presume? The Penguins denied it, claiming that \u201cif Hartnell didn\u2019t do it last year, neither did Cookie this year,\u201d but one reporter did remark that he saw Asham\u2019s finger and it was \u201ccertainly chewed.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Monday January 25th, 2010.

In 2004, he battled .311 with 34 homers and an insane 150 RBI, This year, we can expect about half those power numbers. Fifteen jacks and 75 RBI sound about right.<\/p>\n
