Newz Forum: OTHER: Dean's List: A-Rod a 'Million Dollar Baby'

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more intense, the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry keeps heating up...

Kevin Millar became the latest Boston player to sling mud at Alex Rodriguez when he reportedly called the pretty boy punching bag a "Million Dollar Baby." Not to be outdone, A-Rod slung back, allegedly dubbing his accusers "The In-credibles." Indeed, not since the mainstream introduction of male hand lotion has humor been this topical...

There's already an MVP (best actor), a coach of the year (best director), and even a sixth man (best supporting actor). So where's the comeback actor of the year on Oscar night?

Red Sox ace Curt Schilling - who's recovering from off-season ankle surgery - was the big story out of spring training last week, throwing 47 pitches off the mound. Meanwhile, healthy slugger David Ortiz hit 47 balls off a tee to markedly less fanfare...

He might sound like a country singer, but Villanova junior Allen Ray is arguably the sharpest shooting guard in the Big East since Ray Allen himself. As a junior at UConn, Allen shot 81 percent from the line and 47.2 percent from the field, including 46.6 percent from three.
