News and Notes in Sports

Well there’s really not any big stories coming out today or yesterday so I’ll just recap some of what’s been going on. Let’s start with athletes who are going to be on TV soon. The Celebrity Apprentice Starts Sunday and there are a few athletes on the show and they are Darryl Strawberry, Bill Goldberg, Michael Johnson and Maria Kanellis. The show airs on NBC every Sunday.

The other show that will have athletes on it is the upcoming season of Dancing with the stars and those athletes include Evan Lysacek, Chad Ochocinco and ESPN’s Erin Andrews. That show will start March 22nd on ABC.

The Cincinatti Bengals have signed Wide Reciever Antiono Bryant to a deal which probaby lessens the chance that Terrell Owens will be a Bengal unless he signs a lower deal. I would love to see T.O. in Cincy where he could possibly make some noise.

Nomar Garciaparra has retired after fourteen years. The six-time All Star joined the Red Sox for a day so he could retire as Red Sox. He was the 1997 AL Rookie of the Year and 2006 Comeback Player of the Year. He never won a World Series but he had good numbers including a Batting average that was .313, with 229 Home runs, and 936 Runs batted in. You also have to put into perspective he was injured a lot towards the end of his career so his numbers aren’t spectactular but they were solid.

That’s really all that I can think of right now. If any big news story break, I’ll be writing about it.
