Items of note
The Mets opened minicamp yesterday, which means actual baseball stuff is happening. Eddie Kunz is notably trimmed-down and may just be in the best shape of his life (depending on his odds of making the team, I suppose), and Oliver Perez has the best beard of his life.
Marty Noble is baffled by the Gary Matthews Jr. deal.
Good lord, the Super Bowl is less than two weeks away and this is starting again. At this point, I hope Brett Favre retires and unretires one more time, so he will officially become the boy who cried retirement and no one ever takes anything he says seriously ever again.
This is an awesome story. Actually, just about everything involving Satchel Paige is awesome. Someone should make a Satchel Paige biopic and cast Dave Chappelle in the lead.
