About E »

Check out my column, the more the better (the more hits/comments/etc I get, the more I'll get paid). www.fanhuddle.com/aleast

For those of you who don't think Derek Jeter is overrated, here's some food for thought:

For what the Yankees paid Jeter in 2009, they could afford to field a lineup of Brian McCann, Adrian Gonzalez, Dustin Pedroia, Troy Tulowitzki, Evan Longoria, Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Adam Jones, with money left over. Or, they could stay the course and shell out $20 mill on a shortstop who isn't even the best at his position anymore...

I am a scumbag Patriots fan,
an ignorant Red Sox fan,
and a #&*$ Celtics fan.
Get at me.

Oh, and go Hurricanes!

Two best moments in sports (in pictures!):

    I disagree, the Patriots defense had been declining since 2007, like MH pointed out, when we became an offense-first team. 2008 was the low point, and...
