Weekend Sports Update

Here’s an update on all the rumors that are circulating around professional sports after the weekend.

MLB
Are the Red Sox going to bench Jacoby Ellsbury? Apparently he’s been striking out at the plate quite frequently lately and now that David Ortiz is back, Ellsbury might just get bumped off the line up.

NFL
Is Shockey done in New York?
This isn’t a “shocker” really. Jeremy Shockey was not a true teammate at the end of last season after he sustained an injury. He didn’t show up to a couple of key games to show his support, but of course he was there to receive his Superbowl ring. There have been rumors of a possible trade, but it all depends on what the Giants could get in return.

NBA
Are the Warriors looking to add another guard?
With Baron Davis gone, don’t be surprised if you see the Golden State Warriors add another guard to their roster. Monta Ellis can’t shoulder it all alone. He’ll need someone to fill in for a few minutes each game so that he can rest. Louis Williams of the Philadelphia Sixers just might be that guy.

NHL
Is Matt Sundin joining the Vancouver Canucks?
Don’t be so sure. Sundin had yet to make up his mind, but the Canucks are a possibility. Nothing has been officially decided as of yet.

NCAA Football
Tim Tebow the best college football quarterback of our era?
Some people might beg to differ. But that’s what Urban Meyer seems to think. Maybe when Tebow won the ESPY last night for best college athlete, it went straight to his head?
