- After the NY Post had some killer headlines and photos regarding A-Rod's alleged skirt-chasing, he decided to try to stir up controversy on the field by going bush league yet again. Screaming at a fellow 3rd baseman Howie Clark as he tried to catch an inning ending 9th inning pop-up. Let's see how it unfolded.- Thursday's NY Post really laid the wood to A-Rod - or at least tried to make it out like that's what he's been doing all across the country to ladies other than Mrs. A-Rod.

I think UFL has some potential. The whole XFL was perceived as being a joke because of Vince McMahon and all the gimmicks (Cheerleaders showering with players and whatever else). If this league can get some legitimate backers ala Mark Cuban. I think it might have a real chance of succeeding. The NFL isn't helping itself these days with the self righteous covenant they have laid down with the players. I could easily see some of its premier players rolling over into the new league especially if the pay is comparable. There is no reason to believe that it won't be considering the non guaranteed nature of the deals in the NFL.
