Furthermore, the news isn't just confined to the field of play. We have courtrooms and board rooms in the mix too.
So, what has happened? The two hottest stories right now are one, Missouri moving to the SEC. Two, the horrible sexual abuse case swirling around Penn State's football program and its legendary coach Joe Paterno.
West Virginia, pending legal action, is joining the Big 12.
Melky Cabrera was traded to the San Francisco Giants for two pitchers, one with a lot of possibilities.
The NBA is on strike and truly looks dead in the water at this point. Larger and larger chunks of the season are going away.
On the field of play, our Chiefs played a gutsy, heart filled and somewhat lucky game Monday night against San Diego, then laid a Sunday egg against winless Miami. The Giants and Jets are doing pretty well, with the Giants coming back against New England; with the NFC east playing the AFC east, Giants wins against Jets division foes count double!
Joe Pa is probably going to have to end his wonderful career with the distasteful stink of this scandal on it. He did what was legally required. Why he stopped there, and didn't go further to make sure that it was taken care of is any one's guess.
Missouri leaving has a bundle of implications for Kansas City, and for the wonderful ancient rivalry with Kansas. Mostly negative. KU does not want to play Mizzou and it is not likely that the Big 12 will play its tournament in a state that does not have a team in the conference.
College basketball is just starting, NASCAR is just ending and baseball winter meetings are just around the corner.
Those are the right things here.
Oh, and Tampa Bay lost to New Orleans. Josh has thrown more INTs half way into this season then all of last year. Pay attention, Josh!
