Today’s Sports News – NHL news: Sidney Crosby out until March; Martin Brodeur injures knee; Marc Savard out for season; Jaromir Jagr to make comeback?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sidney Crosby out until March<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Somehow, the Pittsburgh Penguins remain alive in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt, but the road doesn\u2019t get any easier. They\u2019ve already lost Evgeni Malkin for the season with a torn ACL and MCL. Now, it appears Sidney Crosby\u2019s concussion will keep him out until March. He\u2019s already missed 13 games with the injury and won\u2019t resume normal exercise activities for at least 10 days.<\/p>\n

Just when Martin Brodeur had found his game again and the Devils were heating up, going 7-1-2 over their last 10 games, Marty injured his knee. He went down on Sunday with what is being called a \u201cnon-operable\u201d injury. There\u2019s no set timetable for his return.<\/p>\n

Not that the news surprises anyone \u2013 but Boston has officially shut Marc Savard down for the remainder of the season. For the second straight season, a concussion has derailed his year. His career status is definitely in doubt.<\/p>\n

Could Jaromir Jagr follow Peter Forsberg back to North America? While he\u2019s openly stated that he\u2019s having lots of fun of playing in the KHL, his contract expires after this season. He said he\u2019d think about returning to the NHL if he had a chance to join a Stanley Cup contender. \u201cI\u2019d like just to help a team like that on the second or third line,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Lakers joining the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, boy. Looks like we can\u2019t assume the New York Knicks are the top player to land Carmelo Anthony. Suddenly, the Lakers have popped up. We already know Magic Johnson publicly suggested that they make a big move. Could they send Andrew Bynum to Denver while also taking on some of the Nuggets\u2019 uglier contracts? <\/p>\n

For now, it\u2019s just a rumor. Some reports suggest it\u2019s a \u201cleak\u201d by Denver to make the Knicks sweat and improve their offer.<\/p>\n

NFL news: Sean Payton insists he\u2019s not leaving New Orleans; Michael Vick confronted after getting key to the city in Dallas; Eddie Royal has hip surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sean Payton rumors are rampant. Is he leaving the New Orleans Saints to become the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 new general manager? He\u2019s building a home in Dallas and was the team\u2019s quarterback coach from 2003 to 2005. Saints defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams also didn\u2019t interview for any jobs this offseason, leading to speculation that he is simply waiting for the Saints\u2019 head coaching position.<\/p>\n

However, the Saints released a statement Monday insisting that Payton is not joining the Cowboys in any capacity. Rumor squashed \u2013 for now?.<\/p>\n

I know many people were happy with Michael Vick\u2019s redemption story this season. He did his time and he\u2019s come a long way. But the key to a city? Maybe a little too soon for that, Dallas. While Michael Vick was giving a talk to a group of teens at a pre-Super Bowl event, Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine gave Vick to the key to the city of Dallas. The actual mayor of Dallas, Tom Leppert, says the city never sanctioned the move.<\/p>\n

After receiving the key in the unofficially ceremony, radio reporter Richard Hunter confronted Vick and showed him a picture of a dog he\u2019d adopted from Vick\u2019s Bad Newz Kennels. Vick\u2019s entourage rushed him out of the event.<\/p>\n

Eddie Royal may not be ready for the Denver Broncos\u2019 2011 training camp. The wideout recently had hip surgery and will need six months to recover. At the very least, he\u2019ll miss offseason workouts.<\/p>\n
