Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Plenty of big stories went down over the weekend \u2013 so many that I barely know where to start. Here goes!<\/p>\n
NFL news: Tomlinson a Jet, Quinn a Bronco<\/strong><\/p>\n I thought the New York Jets let Thomas Jones go because they wanted to hand Shonn Greene (or Leon Washington, returning from injury) a bigger workload.\u00a0 Maybe I was wrong. The Jets clogged up their backfield again by signing LaDainian Tomlinson to a two-year deal. He\u2019ll be 31 when the season starts.<\/p>\n Hey \u2013 if you lose Jay Cutler…there\u2019s always…Brady Quinn? The Denver Broncos acquired him as insurance for Kyle Orton in exchange for Peyton Hillis, a 2011 sixth-rounder and a conditional pick in 2012. Quinn, a 2007 first-round pick out of Notre Dame, has scuffled to a 66.8 career passer rating over his first 14 pro games.<\/p>\n NHL news: Ovechkin suspension looms<\/strong><\/p>\n Another day and another dirty hit in the NHL. These guys aren\u2019t doing a good job retaining all the fans they won over with the Olympics, are they? League scoring leader Alexander Ovechkin drilled Chicago\u2019s Brian Campbell with a hit from behind on Sunday. Campbell suffered a broken clavicle and broken ribs and could miss the rest of the season as a result.<\/p>\n No official word yet but, considering the heat the league took for mishandling the Matt Cookie ruling last week, Ovechkin could be suspended \u2013 especially since he\u2019s a repeat offender.<\/p>\n Soccer news: David Beckham tears Achilles; out for World Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n Sure, David Beckham is the envy of almost every man on the planet. But, in other ways, he can\u2019t catch a break. He tore his Achilles tendon on Sunday while playing with AC Milan and will miss the World Cup this June in South Africa. Sure, Beckham wasn\u2019t expected to start for England, but his leadership, experience and free-kick abilities would\u2019ve been extremely handy. MLB news: Strasburg dominates again; Blue Jays close in on \u201cnext Alfonso Soriano\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Stephen Strasburg is making it harder for Washington to keep him in the minors every time he takes the hill. In his second career spring-training start, he tossed three shutout innings, striking out two batters. The Nolan-Ryan-esque prospect also flirted with triple digits on the radar gun again<\/p>\n Are the Toronto Blue Jays on the verge of a major coup? They`re reportedly close to outbidding the New York Yankees and signing 21-year-old Cuban shortstop Adeinis Hechavarria to a four-year deal that includes a $10-million bonus. At a wiry 6\u20191\u201d and 170 pounds, he\u2019s being compared to Alfonso Soriano. He\u2019s reportedly leaning toward Toronto since he\u2019d be blocked by Derek Jeter if he entered the Yankees\u2019 system.<\/p>\n NBA news: Arenas says he deserves to be punished<\/strong><\/p>\n Is Agent Zero growing up after all? In an interview with\u00a0Esquire <\/em>magazine that hits newsstands next week, Arenas is reportedly candid about his gun-in-locker-room incident and quite critical of himself. He claims he messed up the legacy of late Wizards owner Abe Pollin; he called Pollin\u2019s wife and said he \u201cdeserves to be punished\u201d and that he\u2019ll \u201cdo everything it takes to earn back your husband\u2019s respect.\u201d<\/p>\n He also said he once had roughly 500 firearms in his home; he bought many of them from a man\u2019s World War I collection but put most of them in storage when he had children.<\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Monday March 15th, 2010.
