It takes a strong guy to carry the hopes of the New York Yankees through October. CC Sabathia is fit for the role at 6 feet 7 inches and about 300 pounds, with the workhorse attitude of a true ace.

If it seems the NFL has been turned upside down, everything is as it seems. The New Orleans Saints are no longer on top, and Drew Brees just lost to an undrafted rookie quarterback.
No football coach is above criticism, and many in the NFL beg to be second-guessed for game-management and personnel decisions only a buffoon would think reasonable. But Bill Belichick is a little different.
Almost as if Donovan McNabb wrote the script, the veteran quarterback returned to Philadelphia and directed the Washington Redskins in a triumphant performance. It was not that surprising, knowing the way the NFL works.
Not that it’s all forgotten now, but Michael Vick is starting to outrun his hideous past as a con man who wagered on dogs being tortured. He is mostly talked about as one of the NFL’s most dynamic and unique quarterbacks.
Bettors who prefer to play favorites still can count on the Indianapolis Colts to deliver more often than not. Peyton Manning covered a number for the second week in a row.
Two years ago, San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary scowled and made an unforgettable statement.
At the end of this season, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will have a decision to make.
After two weeks, Brett Favre might regret returning for another NFL season. And after two weeks, crowds of bettors almost certainly wish the entire league had not come back.
Only a fool would buy what Rick Neuheisel is selling now. When he took over as UCLA football coach three years ago, he was arrogant and full of bold talk.
A couple of seconds after Tony Romo scrambled and fired the apparent winning touchdown pass, the Dallas Cowboys’ celebration was canceled. The NFL is a roller coaster of emotions that we as bettors buy tickets to ride every Sunday, from morning to night.
On the opening drive of the NFL season opener, it was business as usual for the New Orleans Saints. There was no containing Drew Brees, who shot down the field with the aggression of a wildfire.
