The Roger Clemens guide to pro-rated salaries

Super Bowl Round Up:



The Giants have arrived in Arizona but not without a little delay. The plane had an hour delay out of Newark Liberty International Airport after cornerback Aaron Ross got sick on the plane. Ross along with teammates Maidson Hedgecock, Michael Johnson and Manny Wright are all battling a flu bug but according to Micahel Straham "It's not a sign" of things to come. I hope this isn't like the bug that was passed around the Carolina Hurricanes locker room.

Computers are predicting the Patriots will win the Super Bowl while a Camel in NJ and Mets 3rd baseman David Wright have their eyes on the Giants.

Tom Brady made his way onto the practice field for the Pats. I guess that mysterous ankle injury has finally heeled.

As far as the NFL is concerned, the Patriots have been good boys about that whole not spying thing.

Just because there have not been any direct threats to the Super Bowl doesn't mean the Arizona popo won't have increased security around the event.
