Week 1 of NFL free agency continues to buzz with news. Let\u2019s find out the latest comings and goings.<\/p>\n
NFL news: Jones to Chiefs, Randle El back to Steeltown<\/strong><\/p>\n The signings continue. Perhaps the biggest shocker yesterday was the Kansas City Chiefs announcing they\u2019d signed running back Thomas Jones (terms undisclosed). It\u2019s not that Jones doesn\u2019t have something left to offer at age 31 \u2013 he has two straight seasons of at least 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns \u2013 but Jamaal Charles broke out with 1,120 yards of his own for K.C. in 2009. It\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess as to whether or not these guys accept a timeshare.<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t beat \u2019em, rejoin \u2019em. Antwaan Randle El couldn\u2019t win anything as a Washington Redskin and thus decided to return to the city that treated him well and earned him a Super Bowl ring. He returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Patriots added cornerback Leigh Bodden on a four-year deal, Will Witherspoon went to Tennessee and the Browns cut Derek Anderson (mercifully) before acquiring Seneca Wallace from Seattle. Hey \u2013 maybe Wallace, a receiver turned quarterback, can pass to himself, as the Browns aren\u2019t good at catching or throwing.<\/p>\n MLB news: Strasburg sparkles in debut; Nomar saying goodbye<\/strong><\/p>\n All aboard the hype train. Stephen Strasburg looked the part of major-league pitcher in his spring-training debut yesterday, hurling two scoreless innings against the Detroit Tigers. His fastball topped out around 98 MPH \u2013 not approaching his high of 103, but still pretty darned good \u2013 and he struck out two batters, including Miguel Cabrera, to get out of a jam. A few more outings like this and the Nats will have a tough time keeping him in the minors for long, if at all. It wasn\u2019t quite \u201cshort \u2018n\u2019 sweet,\u201d but it sure did feel like Nomar Garciaparra never quite became the superstar he should. The talent was there, as his .313 career average showed, but he just couldn\u2019t stay healthy. He\u2019ll announce his retirement today and leaves the game with 229 homers, two batting titles, six All-Star selections and a Rookie of the Year Award. Happy trails, No-mah. Give our regards to Mia.<\/p>\n NBA news: Dunleavy gets the hook; another buzzer-beater for Kobe<\/strong><\/p>\n The writing was already on the wall for Mike Dunleavy after he stepped down as Los Angeles Clippers head coach a month ago. It was only a matter of time before he lost his role as GM and the axe finally fell yesterday. The Clippers have parted ways with Dunleavy. It\u2019s the right move but, for all of us pundits out there, it\u2019s a sad one. We just lost some major comedy material.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the best way for Kobe Bryant to make people forget about his missed buzzer-beater attempt against Orlando a few days ago? Right the wrong by draining a buzzer beater. His latest victim: the Toronto Raptors, whom Kobe killed last night with a 17-footer that gave the Lakers a 109-107 lead with 1.9 seconds left.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Wednesday March 10th, 2010.
