Frazier said Tuesday that an ultrasound on Favre's neck and shoulder showed no nerve damage. He said the 41-year-old quarterback's pain was su |

Word started to leak out Monday afternoon that the Phillies were indeed the mystery team and by the time the New York Giants finished off the Minnesota Vikings later that night it was clear where Lee was going to sign. In fact once Yankees officials got word that Philly was the team lurking, they knew they were done. And they were right because Lee has stunned the baseball world, agreeing to a deal with th |
