According to Yahoo, Joe Girardi is thinking about playing A-Rod at short stop if Jeter is seriously hurt. Jeter left yesterday’s game after the 3rd and didn’t play in their lose today to Kansas City. Betemit started for the Bombers at short today in place of the injured captain, but he is not a long term answer. A-Rod is probably the best player in baseball and as long as playing SS doesn’t hurt his batting, I think it’s a good and creative solution to big problem. The Yankees can play Ensberg, a nature 3rd baseman, at 3rd if Rodriguez shifts over.Â
Brian Urlacher is still holding out for more money. The Bears said today that they are advising his people to take another look at his current contract because it is really good. It sounds like this is their first stab at not having to renegotiate.
Some nerd from Ball State predicts that if Indy gets to host the 2012 Super Bowl, the economically impact to the city would be $365 million. I’m not too sure how he came up with that number, if it takes inflation into account, or if he just looked at a calender. Anyway, I think he is trying to justify the $1.5M of taxpayer money that the city would have to spend in order to complete for the Super Bowl. I wonder he will will Bet the Super Bowl 2012?
