Francisco Rodriguez
K-Rod reportedly will be making more than $12 million a year to close games for the New York Mets. New stadium, bigger city and a bit more pressure than he faced in Anaheim.
Jerry Jones
The Cowboys owner questions the toughness of one of football’s toughest players, running back Marion Barber. There are plenty of other teams that would take him.

Antonio Bryant
Out of the NFL a year ago, the Tampa Bay wideout nearly single-handedly kept the Bucs in their Monday night game. His one-handed scoring grab is one of the year’s best.
