Seems like Ines Sainz is the talk of the town this week in Dallas. Some are saying she is getting more attention than many players. Hard to wonder why.

Well after tonight the rest of the nation should now realize just how great this kid is. If there was any doubt about him going #1 overall in the draft, tonight should have sealed the deal. Yes, he still needs to decide if he wants to declare himself eligible for the draft but I can’t imagine him staying in the college ranks. He has nothing to gain staying at Stanford. His value may never be this high again after his performance tonight.

Luck was the runner up for the Heisman Trophy. Seems like #2 is where you want to be when it comes to the Heisman. Whatever Andrew decides to do, he will continue to have great success playing QB.

Goodbye Portland Beavers, Hello Tucson Padres! The Portland Beavers are no more and will not be known as the Tucson Padres for the next two years. They are going to play in Tucson using the Padres name. Final arrangements for a stadium lease are bing made. The long term plan is to move the Tucson Padres to Escondido to play where they have approved plans to build a $50 million stadium. Escondido is a suburb in San Diego County and about a 40 minute drive to Downtown San Diego where the current San Diego Padres play at Petco Park. The Tucson Padres will play in the Pacific Coast League.

Anyone else tired of Brett Favre and ready for him to retire already? Who do we blame for this media tragedy? Is Favre an attention whore or is it the media’s never ending fascination with him. Whatever it is, I am sick of it. Let’s move on and talk about something else already. There are so many better stories in sports right now.

On December 17, 2010 the San Diego Padres traded Adam Russell, Cesar Ramos, Brandon Gomes, and Cole Figueroa for Jason Bartlett and a player to be named later. Initially the deal was thought to only involve Russell and Ramos but Gomes and Figueroa were also added to the trade.

The Padres have already traded All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to the Red Sox and needed to complete the middle and right side of their infield. On Thursday the Padres acquired free agent Orlando Hudson. With Cameron Maybin in center field, Hudson at 2nd and Bartlett at Short the Padres will be very solid up the middle defensively and the three players should bring better offensive production in 2011.

Bartlett was interviewed late on Friday with local radio host Darren Smith and expressed excitement about playing for the team who originally drafted him in 2001. He has never played at Petco park but said he has heard great things and really thought his speed and bat would play well at Petco.

The Padres now need to complete the infield and fill the hard to replace Adrian Gonzalez at first base. Several sources say the Padres have expressed interest in Derek Lee and Adam Laroche.

It’s being reported, Orlando Hudson to sign with Padres. The 33 year old 2nd baseman will bring a career 280 batting average, 338 on base percentage and 770 ops to a team that does not currently have a second baseman.

Orlando Hudson brings a solid glove up the middle, a good bat and above average speed. This is a solid player to help sure up the Padres middle infield. He brings leadership and solid skills. It’s being reported that he will receive a two year deal with the potential value of up to eleven and a half million dollars.

The Padres showed some interest in bringing back David Eckstein but Eckstein said that Padres never contacted him. Eckstein battled several injuries the 2nd half of 2009 and the Hudson deal makes them a bit younger at the position this year.

If the Padres are able to make the Jason Bartlet trade they will have significantly improved 2nd base and the shortstop positions offensively and defensively compared to 2010, David Eckstein and Everth Cabrera. Padres GM Jed Hoyer has said he would not mind having Cabrera start 2011 at AAA to help him find his swing and build some confidence.

The Denver Broncos fire Josh McDaniels. The Denver Broncos were led by Josh McDaniels the past two seasons, after a 6-0 start in 2009 the Broncos failed to make the playoffs. Josh McDaniels was relieved of his duties on December 6th, 2010 finishing his coaching career with Denver with a win loss record of 11-16.

McDaniels will likely be replaced by an interim coach but details have not yet been released.

Opening night of the NBA season saw the Celtics beat the Heat. Boston Celtics or the Miami Heat? Tonight the Boston Celtics beat Miami Heat. Who do you think the team to beat in the East is? Was Miami rusty or the Celtics playing better as a team. It sure seemed like the Heat were off tonight. I would imagine that once the Heat start playing well together they are going to be difficult.

Lebron James, Dwyane Wade

Tonights game was close and the Heat played fairly poorly. Lebron James and Wade looked out of sync at times.

FINAL SCORE

MIAMI 80 – BOSTON 88

Tony Romo Broken Clavicle (Collarbone) is what is being reported. No good for the Cowboys. The injury was the result of a hit by linebacker Michael Boley. He came unblocked and made a clean hit on Romo. News came when Romo was taken to the locker room for an x

-ray. It was eported by ESPN during the Monday night football game against the NewYork Giants.

Treatment usually involves resting the affected extremity and supporting the arm with the use of a sling. Some sources are saying a full recovery can take as long as 6 months.

This is unfortunate news for the Cowboys who are already off to a slow start.

Below is a picture of a broken clavicle from another patient.

So your searching Google wondering what Brian Wilson the Machine refers to when Brian mentioned this during tonights post game interview. He mentioned the machine and it had me wondering what he was referring to. Check out this video below to see what he was referring to. Caution, there is a random guy named “the machine” walking around wearing almost nothing! Brian Wilson is definitly one unique individual.

BTW, congratulations to the SF Giants for making it to the World Series. I am looking forward to seeing the World Series this year with the Giants and Rangers.
