...What's fueling Fehr's concerns? For one, during baseball's general managers' meetings in Orlando last week, Theo Epstein of the Boston Red Sox and Larry Beinfast of Florida Marlins introduced a new element to the gathering. The GMs assembled in one room and each stated what their off-season priorities were, and who might be available in trades. To the execs, it was an efficient way to horse-trade information that they typically would share in various time-consuming, one-on-one conversations. Some teams spoke in general terms, others got a little more specific, Major League Baseball...
...somewhat amazing that Marbury has any endorsements given his brutal off-season in which he 1) defended Michael Vick's dog-fighting (later recanted), 2) told an interviewer he wanted to "see the spit on your mouth" during a bizarre TV appearance and 3) admitted in a sexual-harassment trial against his coach, Isiah Thomas, that he called a New York Knicks executive a "bitch" and had an extramarital tryst with a Knicks intern.

While Manning's contract is much richer - $98 million, with a whopping $34.5 million signing bonus - he restructured it this off-season to save the Colts salary cap space. Manning's work ethic is universally admired, and he makes everyone around him a better player. And face it: though all those commercials overexpose him a bit, he is nothing if not likable...

There were the usual nightclub-related lawsuits and arrests, more than the usual superstar griping, and a spectacularly unusual betting scandal involving a previously unknown referee named Tim Donaghy, who first attracted the suspicion of investigators when he called a traveling violation. (Talk about previously unknown!) But now all is well, because the regular season begins Tuesday night, when the champion San Antonio Spurs with center-of-the-moment Tim Duncan take on the Portland Trail Blazers with center-of-the-future...uh...Joel Przybilla...
