There are lots of happenings in the sports world. First, last night could have been a great night of baseball. The Mets played the Dodgers and the Yankees played Boston. And both teams won! But alas, it's the exhibition season and it means nothing.

Second, the Jets have finally worked out a deal for John Abraham. In a convoluted three-way trade, the Jets picked up Denver's first round pick from Atlanta in exchange for Abraham. It seems like an okay deal for the Jets, who now have two first-rounders. Potentially, they could even deal to move up, although the O-lineman they aught to take anyway will likely be available at four.

In other NFL news, there are huge happenings. Wide receiver/anti-social cry baby Terrell Owens has signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Now he can work along side wide receiver/cry baby Keyshawn Johnson and coach/cry baby Bill Parcells. If nothing else, the floor show this trade creates will insure a strong television audience for Dallas games.

Next, Aaron Brooks, erstwhile QB for the Saints, has signed with the Raiders. Base10 doesn't know what the deal was, but bear in mind, Brooks only really had one good season. Potentially, this is a good move for the Raiders, a strong-armed QB working with Randy Moss and supported by a running game. But I think Brooks is still a work-in-progress.

In other shocking moves, the Colts released Mike Vanderjagt and signed Adam Vinateri away from the Pats.

Finally, for those of you that are counting, the NFL draft is only five weeks away.
