With spring training around the corner,the baseball talk is heating up.Word out of the New York Yankee camp is that  they are waiting on a decision by Andy Pettite on whether he returns or not.S.I.is repoting that Yankees have or will make him an offer of 12 million to return for one more season.Feeling is there is a strong possibility he will return .

On the Vladimir Guerrero watch it seems his chances for 2 year contract (which he was initialy looking for )are sliipping away.With the signing of Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez (Tampa),Texas signing Adrian Beltre making Michael Young the DH and the Angels trading for Vernon Wells, his signing with one of these teams would be in a diminished capacity.The Baltimore Orioles are still interested.

In the NBA Boston Celtics center Cedrick Perkins returned early (1/25) from knee surgery suffered in game 6 of NBA finals to a standing ovation at the T D Garden.Perk played some 16 minutes looked healthy but you could see some rust in his game.
On the Carmello Anthony trade talks New Jersey Nets Owner(Mikhail Prokhoroul)saying that the Nets were out of the Anthony hunt.Some around the NBA think that the New York Knicks may still have an interest.

On the ice "THE GREAT ONE"who turned 50 on 1/26/2011 scored his last point(an assist) in last game played April 18th 1999. It was point number 2857,of which 894 were goals.The NHL's all time leading scorer's best year is thought to be 1985-86 season in which he registered 215 points (52 goals 163 assists).Do we think we will ever see numbers like that again?

Ann and Jerry Moss owners of 2010 horse of the year Zenyatta announce that their horse will be bred with Bernardini for her first mate.Bernardini is the son of the very successful AP Indy,who is from the great triple crown winner Seatle Slew.We will stay tuned for the news from the" Maternity Ward".

On the gridiron Jay Cutler is being verbally harrassed on the airwaves and the print media for his performance or lack of in the NFC Championsip gane.The question of whether injury was serious enough to take himself out of game will probably never be answered.The feeling of most people (including Sports Gabbers)is the Cutler should have continued to play and suck it up for his teamates and fans.
As reported in the New York Post Jan.6 2011 ESPN will pay nearly 2 Billion dollars a year to continue broadcasting MondayNight Football.Now talk of a lockout seems utterly ridiculous to us.We seem to think with the money thrown at NFL both sides can come to a mutual agreement.Let's just play football and be sensible.
