Kudos to the LSU football team for their Sugar Bowl win, though I will note that:

It wasn't the best football game on today, that honor going to the Green Bay - Seattle wild card tilt, and

It wasn't even the best thing on TV at the time, given that the WBZ-TV Sunday night sports show featured Peter Gammons playing rhythm guitar and singing to promote Hot Stove, Cool Music, an album of songs by baseball player/musicians and full-time musicians whose sale proceeds benefit the Jimmy Fund, a local charity for research and treatment of childhood cancers. Gammons wasn't as bad as you might think, but strictly in the "don't quit your day job" category.

Speaking of which, they did find a little time to talk baseball. Gammons thinks the A-Rod deal could still happen, but only if the Sox offer a lot more cash. Assuming the status quo, then, Nomar will play out the string, not get the $15 mil/yr he wants, and move on. Orlando Cabrera and Edgar Renteria were named as likely replacements.
