The Ravens have cut Jamal Lewis, according to the Post. Sure, he kinda sucked last year, racking up 1,132 yards and nine touchdowns, with only a 3.6 YPC average. He would’ve cost the Dirty Birds a $5M roster bonus, and an almost $12M cap hit, more than 10% of the cap. So, maybe not shocking, [...]

Genius … and probably priceless too
Was that W and the Mick at the Yankees game last year?
Err, not quite. But they will be immortalized with Derek the J thanks to an anonymous employee of the Topps trading card company.
Per the NY Daily News, “It’s hard to Topps this one.” Jeter’s card this year has a waving George W. Bush in [...]

Of gay and other athletes
I don’t care about pro athletes’ personal lives.
I don’t care if DJ and A-Rod no longer have sleepovers or paint each others toe nails or whatever. (Dear god I don’t care about that story.)
I don’t care that John Amaechi is gay.
And while I guess I care that Tim Hardaway is a demented bigot, it’s because [...]
