The Boxing Day Edition

Sorry for the late post, but I had to make a quick stop at Bloomingdale's.

Baseball: Sammy Sosa wants everyone to know he is available...The Yankees have signed former Red Sox catcher Kevin Cash to a minor league deal...The suit against Padres outfielder Brian Giles is all about the money, or at least so says Brian Giles...Brewers owner Mark Attanasio thinks it maybe time for baseball to get a salary cap...South Carolina loves its Gamecocks baseball team.

Basketball: 19 and done for the Celtics who fell to the Lakers, 92-83...Dirk Nowitzki had a monster first half, scoring 24 of his 30 points before halftime in the Mavs, 102-94 win over the Blazers...I am not sure if the Hornets realized they had to actually play basketball on Christmas, because they didn't really show up in their 88-68 loss to the Magic...Speaking of the Magic, Dwight Howard will try to defend his title in the slam dunk contest...In true Christmas spirit, Dwayne Wade presented a house to a South Florida family, who had lost their home in fire.

College Basketball: This one's for you mom, your Arizona Wildcats took down Kansas, 84-67 on Tuesday night.



College Football: For Christmas the Motor City Bowl asked Santa for plenty of offense and Santa obliged with Central Michigan falling to Eastern Michigan, 56-52...Who knew all Notre Dame had to do to snap their bowl losing streak was to play a mediocre team in a mediocre bowl. I bet the Fighting Irish will request the Hawaii Bowl from here on out after their 49-21 victory...Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will get a $250,000 bonus if his team can beat Florida in the BCS.
