Mavs go Green
Gerald Green, a former high school prodigy out of Gulf Shores Academy in Houston, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks, Green’s agent Colin Bryant said.
A first round pick of the Boston Celtics in 2005, the slender, 6-foot-8 Green was part of the trade that sent Kevin Garnett from Minnesota to Boston. The Timberwolves traded Green to Houston last season. He played in one game for his hometown team before being released.
I dont like Sean Avery for this Dallas Stars team. Yes, he has a troubled past on the ice, but that is not my reason. The Stars need a scorer on the wing. As much as people for years have complained about the Texas Rangers lack of pitching, the same can be said about this hockey team in terms of them needing a scoring winger, at least since Brett Hull left.

Mr. Leadoff
Rangers look encouraging
For a change, it was pondering the worst that helped the Texas Rangers to a 3-2 win at Yankee Stadium. Kinsler's leadoff double against Rivera and subsequent steal of third opened the door for Michael Young to bounce a ball through the infield for the go-ahead run.
The win, clinched by C.J. Wilson's second consecutive save, pushed the Rangers three games above .500 (44-41). Though Kevin Millwood exited the game with a bruised right shin after five innings, the Rangers were still able to clinch a series win in their final regular-season visit to New York. They can finish off their first sweep in New York since 2003 tonight.
Chiefs can't stand their fans
Mike Florio of profootballtalk.com, in a stunning exhibit of investigative journalism, has uncovered the dastardly plot going on behind the scenes at One Arrowhead Drive. Apparently the Chiefs are conspiring, skulking in dark corners and trying to prevent their fans from standing up at football games.
Yes, it’s true. Just read the chilling words for yourself, straight from KcChiefs.com:
The Kansas City Chiefs are committed to creating a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience for our fans. When attending a game, the stadium staff will proactively intervene to support an environment where event patrons, their guests and other fans can enjoy the event, free from the following behaviors:
Standing and/or obstructing the view of other fans
Oh, the horror!
Silly introductions aside, let’s examine what’s really going on here.
First of all, the “no standing” rule has been a part of the Arrowhead Stadium Code of Conduct for years now. This is nothing new.
It’s not enforced nearly as strictly as Florio’s rant might suggest, however. If you’ve watched a Chiefs game on television or attended one in person, you see fans standing all the time. It’s no big deal. To paraphrase a line from Pirates of the Caribbean, the “no-standing” rule isn’t exactly a rule – more like, a guideline.
It’s in place because people sitting down at a football game – as the vast majority of the Arrowhead crowd does for extended sections of the action – don’t enjoy people blocking their view. If you’re out of your seat, moving around during an offensive drive, and generally making a nuisance of yourself
Beatles lost interview
A Beatles interview from 1964 that was recently unearthed from a film canister in a south London garage aired yesterday on the BBC. In the interview, John Lennon and Paul McCartney discuss how they first met as teenagers. “I was playing at a garden fete in the village where I lived just outside Liverpool, playing with a group, and he came along and we met,” said Lennon, while McCartney credits a friend named Ivan with arranging the chance meeting that helped fuse the most successful songwriting duo in rock history.
