The first 2 Maverick games have to be discouraging for Avery Johnson. Dallas lost the Miami series because they went totally unaggressive.

Ditto for the 1^st game against San Antonio. Then Saturday’s game was simply an abomination. Devin Harris’ unsteady play is turning him from outstanding prospect to semi-suspect. Hardly anyone slashes to the rim and forces the other team to play defense…

There’s nothing sadder for a horse racing fan to watch a day like the Breeders Cup and have a beautiful animal like Pine Island have to be destroyed because of an injury. And another, Fleet Indian, fights for her life…

The last few weeks of the college football season should be fascinating. Having watched Ohio State and Michigan Saturday, neither of them on that day seemed to be a Top 20 team. You can say the same thing for Florida. If there were ever a year that a playoff made sense, this remarkably wide open season might be it…

Everyone’s now asking who’s the best 1-loss-team in College Football…Florida? Texas? Auburn? USC? California? I believe it might just be Arkansas. And, should the Hogs keep winning, which would mean defeats of Tennessee, LSU and Florida down the stretch, how can you keep them out of the National Championship Game?

…The Rangers will almost certainly name their new Manager on Monday. And it appears Don Wakamatsu has the inside track. The players will approve the choice. Now, will they play for him?

…The Rangers will bid for remarkable Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. But one wonders if they understand what the true price might wind up being. First, they have to compensate Seibu, his Japanese team. Then, they must deal with his agent, Scott Boras. My guess for his eventual total cost? 5 years, $80 million or more!
