The Daily

Nets: Tonight's Nets game against the Sixers will mark the debut for both Eddie House and Josh Boone...in probably limited minutes. Still, now is the time we can start to judge if this is a team that will be able to compete for a championship.

Boone will take a while to get used to the tempo of the game...but I am very excited about Eddie House. House brings something the Nets have not had in years, a guy who can come off the bench and put daggar after daggar in a team's heart. It is going to be fun watching this guy get hot from behind the arc.

Let's also hope that the arrival of House to the rotation will bring more fast break with certain lineups on the floor.

Giants: The G-men lockeroom is sayd to be in shambles, but I don't fully think that's the case. If you have actually listened to Strahan's comments about Plaxico on the FAN, he was not calling Plax out in an angry tone or anything.

He was just pointing out what Plax needed to do to be a better player. Now, we all know Strahan probably should have done this with Plax behind closed doors, but it wasn't like he was saying he was disgusted to take the field with his lazy ass.

Anyway, the Giants are standing behind Shockey's guarentee that there is "no way in hell" the Cowboys beat the Giants this week. Should be an entertaining game.

Yankees: Not much on the Yanks front latley. They are in negotiations with Kei Igawa, and as reported today, they will not be prusueing Ted Lilly.

I just have to wonder, who will Cashman go after if not Zito, Shmidt, or any of the other relatively big names out there. I'm think Cashman will beef up the rotation through trade, more than free agency.

Red Bull: The latest rumor for a "DP" slot are swirling around Ivan De La Pena. This is very interesting, because if true, it looks like an attempt to possibly reunite Ronaldo with his former play maker, De La Pena.

Look for more Red Bull information later today as Ives will be answering his questions porbably by today, many of them were asked by myself under various fake names...Lu...what a sweet name.
