Big East roundup: Luck of the Huskies

Five burning questions in the conference

Iverson hits the open market

Now paging Ed Stefanski. There are sure to be a few calls from area fans to the Sixers general manager, as Allen Iverson officially becomes a free agent.

Time to erase fourth-and-2

The Patriots sound like they’re sick of talking about it.

Wildcats gunning for national title

It’s an abundance of riches at Villanova right now.

Trot always ready to fill in for Birds

As Donovan McNabb wondered aloud about where the veteran leadership was going to come from, a battle-tested linebacker stood up in the back of the locker room. Jeremiah Trotter’s role is not yet defined on this Eagles’ team, but his voice is ever present.

UMass heads the crowded HEA pack

UMass sits atop Hockey East going into the weekend. But not by much.

Aging MVP Matsui is so money

Hideki Matsui stole the World Series MVP from Alex Rodriguez, who must have more issues with baseball writers than Mark McGwire. A-Rod bashed the biggest hit in both Games 3 and 4, the two Philly games that swung the series, and yet still falls short to a one-blowout wonder?

Yankees are worthy of world series title, their fans are not

A-Rod isn’t a choker. Charlie Manuel isn’t always an idiot savant — sometimes he’s just an idiot (see pitching to A-Rod in a tie game in the ninth inning of Game 4). And the Yankees dominate in spite of their fans. As long as we’re shattering ridiculous myths this postseason, the last point can no longer be ignored.

HUNTER, MLB EXPLOITING ADENHART

Is it hard to rest in peace when everyone is trying to take advantage of your death?

And it only figures to grow more distasteful.

A-ROD SHIELDED FROM FLAK

Even David Letterman is unwittingly providing Alex Rodriguez with cover.

NO DRAMA HERE, CROWN THE YANKEES

The Yankees are overwhelming World Series favorites everywhere but New York. Only in this area, do people fret over the supposed questions in the pitching staff and continually obsess over Alex Rodriguez in October. Everywhere else, the truth is clear: This is a dominant team that could and should roll through the postseason as easily as the ’98 Yankees. And if they put up a similar 11-2 record no one would think they overachieved.
