Yes. Neither am I much of a baseball fan. A little bit in October. But I like to bring some varied topics to this board. Jeter is news. And in view of all the bad publicity athletes bring these days, for me, Jeter Is good news. Overkill? Well I didn't see much or any of it on TV. Newspapers, Yes.

For how he played, and how he carried himself, I do not mind giving him some recognition.

Jessica Biel. Yes. One model and starlet afer another, I gather from Cam Cole's article, for Mr. Jeter. No scandals, though.

Bill Maher. Yeah. He will have a say. :wink:

Where do people get their news? I read or scan a few papers. The Washington Post, the New York Times, some Canadian papers, CNN online. Some others. I didn't personally feel overwhelmed with news about Jeter, but then I don't watch talk shows, or listen to sports talk shows. Nor even late night talk shows. That would certainly give me an overwhelmed feeling.

So Jeter is about gone. No regrets giving him a little recognition here.

An All-Star game MVP award as well.

Along with Mariano Rivera, Jeter was one of the very few long-time players these days in any pro league to have played for the same team throughout his long career. At least there's no doubt at all that both Jeter and Rivera will be wearing Yankees caps in their induction plaque.
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。
