Sosa an Oriole?
ESPN has been reporting for the past couple days that Sammy Sosa, the Chicago Cubs slugger, is on the verge of being traded to the Baltimore Orioles, pending Bud Selig’s approval and Sosa passing a physical. There was also mention that Sosa has a no-trade clause in his contract, but he was expected to waive that. One other condition was that the Cubs would have to pay $10 million of Sosa’s contract this season. A big reason why the O’s jumped on this trade.

Return of the Upperclassman
This is an article I have been waiting all season to write. I knew it would happen and that this piece would basically write itself. Before I get started I would like dedicate this article to ESPN.com NBA Draft expert Chad Ford. For everybody else who advocates taking high schoolers and foreign projects over the polished college upperclassman this one goes out to you as well. The 2004-2005 NBA season should be dubbed the “Return of the Upperclassmen” as the best rookie performers thus far have been guys who spent some time honing their game in college.

Sexuality and Sports
With The Super Bowl approaching, I can’t help but think of one thing from last year’s Super Bowl. Is it the Patriots winning? No. Does it have anything to do with football? Of course not. When I think of the Super Bowl, I will forever think of the “Wardrobe Malfunction” that took place during the half time show last year.
