The Story Behind Obama's Decision on His New Afghan Strategy
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyDuring the 25 hours over three months he spent reviewing Afghanistan Strategy with top aides, President Obama came to forcefully embrace the same strategy that he had opposed as a senator in Iraq -- a "surge" that could set back the Taliban enough to buy time for the Afghans to take over," according to behind-the-scenes accounts today in the New York Times and Washington Post. ...
Miami's Empty Bench Made Worse With James Jones and Jamaal Magloire Injuries
By Tom Ziller - AOL NewsMiami has myriad concerns but only three real problems heading into 2008-09: the point guard position, fitting the team's three starter quality forwards together, and perimeter depth. The Heat remains damned on the PG tip until Mario Chalmers has an epiphany or the trade market ratchets up, and I count myself again the horde which finds the Shawn Marion-Michael Beasley-Udonis Haslem triumvirate more interesting than problematic. But depth ... with only James Jones, Dorell Wright, Daequan Cook and Yakhouba Diawara available behind Dwyane Wade and Marion at the swing positions. That's a little ...
Miami Extends Offer to Jones, Already Wants to Give Chalmers a Raise
By Matt Watson - AOL NewsAs currently constructed, the Heat don't have a whole lot of room under the salary cap, but they may be able to fill a glaring need for outside shooting by inking James Jones, who hit 43.7% of his shots from long distance last year for the Trail Blazers. From Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: With the free-agent signing period to commence at midnight, a five-year offer has been extended to Jones, starting at $4 million for next season. The final three years of the contract would be conditional, to protect the Heat for the 2010 free-agency period.Jones has yet to commit, but ...

Can Robinson's Return Help the Packers?
By Larry Brown - AOL NewsWord came out on Wednesday that Koren Robinson would be allowed to return to the Packers, a year after his suspension for violating the league's substance abuse program. The one year suspension was the result of Robinson's third substance abuse violation; Commissioner Goodell has been harsh on repeat offenders. So now that he's available for Green Bay, will he be able to contribute? Can he even make a difference?Robinson says he's been doing two-a-days the last two months, dropping his body fat to 4.9%. He also adds that his knee is fully-recovered from surgery. As of now, the Packers are ...
Brian Griese Leads Comeback Over Packers
By Larry Brown - AOL NewsIn my preview of the Sunday night match up between Chicago and Green Bay, I surmised that the Bears would be out of the division and playoff race if they lost to the Packers. Looks like they won't have to worry about that just yet. Chicago rallied from down 17-7 at halftime to win 27-20. The final six possessions for the Bears resulted in the following: touchdown, punt, field goal, interception, punt, touchdown. The final six possessions for the Packers ended with two interceptions (one on a hail mary) sandwiched by four consecutive three-and-outs. Clearly Brett Favre and Brian Griese switched ...
Doug Christie and the Trail Blazers Work Out
By Matt Watson - AOL NewsI had a little trouble with the title. Did Doug Christie work for the Trail Blazers, or did he just work with the Trail Blazers? Because there are conflicting reports. From Christie's new blog on MVN:Coming off my first workout for an NBA team, I am very happy and looking forward to the others I have planned. It felt great to be back on the court with the players and play basketball. When my agent called to tell me they wanted to see me workout, it was great news.Mike Barrett, the team's play-by-play announcer, had a slightly different version on his blog:Making a guest appearence at the ...
Greg Jennings Likely Out Against Giants
By Larry Brown - AOL NewsFor the second week in a row, it appears as if the Packers will be without wide receiver Greg Jennings. Though the second year wideout was listed as questionable on the week's injury report, he did not practice Friday and is not expected to play. Jennings may have shown signs of being a productive receiver early in his rookie campaign last year, but he's now developing a reputation as an injury prone player.Last year, Jennings struggled with an ankle injury which marred what had been a great debut through the first five weeks of the season. This year his kryptonite seems to be the hamstring. ...
Second Half Collapse Costs Packers Victory
By Dan - AOL NewsAlthough only 10 points were scored, the Green Bay Packers dominated the first two quarters against Jacksonville last night. Brett Favre (14 of 20 for 130 yards) seemed to be on the money with every single throw, while the tight ends, one of the Packers biggest concerns headed into the regular season, proved to be very effective.Rookie wide receiver James Jones also had an extremely impressive night, hauling in six catches for 80 yards. His routes were run well, his cuts were decisive and crisp and his hands were soft. He really has the makings of a quality NFL wide receiver and I can see why ...
