The Kansas City Royals and Jonathan Broxton agreed to a one-year deal worth $4 million on Tuesday, gearing up the right-handed reliever to become Joaqim Soria’s new setup man.
The 27-year-old chubster made $7 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season in the second installment of a two-year, $11 million deal, so he’s actually taking quite a pay-cut. However, after being limited [...]

I am a hypochondriac who, every few months, finds a new reason to think he’s dying.
I’ve found a new reason.
Headaches.
Headaches.
Headaches.
Left side, sorta dull, but have had them every day for several weeks. [...]
The Indiana Pacers need a point guard, badly. Their lack of a compelling playmaker wasn’t the reason Indiana lost in the first round to the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs last season (which was around 197 years ago, if memory serves), but an All-Star level point man would not have hurt.

According to ESPN’s Karl Ravich, sources are saying that Gene Lamont is no longer a candidate to manage the Boston Red Sox. Ravich also then went on to say that Bobby Valentine has not been offered the job yet, but it appears “imminent.”

The Flames goalkeeper earned his 41st career shutout with 26 saves, making defenseman Derek Smith’s first NHL goal stand up in a 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators. He was in Beast Mode down the stretch, stopping five Predators shots on a power play with less than five minutes in the game.

Urban Meyer to Ohio State was a done deal long before it was announced yesterday. In Columbus, it was public knowledge in about Late September to early October. Yet, people who live in the Penn State bubble actually believed Meyer would come to this program, even after the pedophile scandal broke, and the sky fell in on the program.
