The Sorkin Notes: Today's Scuttlebutt


No real firm rumors flying around but there is always chatter. Im gonna break from my usual rants and monologues to share some rumors and whisperings around the various leagues that should interest you.

MLB
- Mets supposedly proposed a swap of Oliver Perez to the Royals for Gil Meche - metsblog 
If the Mets could get anything for Perez I'd be surprised. Gil Meche is an upgrade considering he can pitch decent baseball in the AL. The only the problem is: WHY IN THE BLUE HELL WOULD THE ROYALS WANT PEREZ

- Padres intend to be buyers at trade deadlineRealGM
Adrian Gonzalez is too good and surprisingly doesn't sport a spanish accent. Surprised ? I know I was. They stood firm and didn't trade him this past off season and are reaping the benefits as their pitching has developed faster than expected and has them the 2nd best record in the NL. 2nd best record in the NL !?!?!? 52-37 !?!?!? Where did this come from ???

NBA
- 39 year old Penny Hardaway lobbying for Heat roster spot ProSportsDaily
Keep dreaming ANFERNEE

- Former Knick Al Harrington to sign with Nuggets ProSportsDaily
Old news for some of you rumor followers but I wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks to Big Al. Another class act during the Knicks' horrid years departing for a new quest. Good luck buddy and while your in Denver tell Carmelo how sick playing for the Knicks is.

NFL
- No new contract for Revis, yet. RealGM
Pay this man. I don't care how much but PAY HIM. Training camp is in two weeks and as Dbl-A so wisely pointed out "Hard Knocks" starts on HBO August 11th. It will be interest to see how training camp is without him but, it will be more interesting to see how the season is WITH HIM. Send the check Woody.

- T.O. to team obliterate in Baltimore ? RealGM
Rumors where swirling about a possibility but seem to be unlikely now. Frankly, the Ravens are better off. I hope T.O. signs no where. That'll make his lame show on VH1 even that more pathetic

NHL
- Mike Madano signing with Detriot Red Wings ? ProSportsDaily
Wow. I mean he's not at the top of his game anymore at age 40 but I'd expect him to contribute to any team. If he goes to the Red Wings, a perennial Lord Stanley's Cup contender, their team would be deeper than Ava Devine's vaginal cavity. Guy wants his name on the cup. I don't blame him for this move, if he makes it that is.

- Ilya Kovalchuk still in play for Islanders ? ProSportsDaily
Kovalchuk is yet to pick a team and could really serve as the experienced game changer the Islanders need to play alongside John Tavares. Islanders have made cap space and a spot on the starting roster for him but no real fan base and no real home. Do the pros out way the cons? Probably not. More misery for my beloved Islanders and fellow fans. LA Kings seem to be the front runner but, the Islanders have offered a fat $100 mill and that is hard to turn down. Party on Garth, sign this mother fucker.
