Farve will not end up with the Cowboys ...... We are going to stand by Bledsoe , he is still young (despite the years in the league he is a young guy because he started early) we have no need to bring Farve into the mix ........... Farve will end his career where he started his career he is more honorable than going to another team for a year to drag his great career out. I get the Cowboy weekly and have heard no official rumors about this ...... and besides that Bledsoe is under a 3 year contract with us , therefor if the boys released him reduced his role they would pay through the nose for nothing. Parcells decided to stay , therefor he will stick with the player he knows , seeing that he did perform extremely well when he had an o line to protect him. Also Keyshawn will remain on the team but for higher dollars.
More on the Redsox and Manny .......... Manny once again doesnt want to leave Boston ...
The Redsox will be looking to trade wells and clement for either Jeremy Reed from the mariners , or Coco Crisp (who they have great interest in) in a 3 way deal Involving Clement, Cash proposals and 3 minor leaguers going to the Indians and Wells going to the padres, Dave Roberts going back to the redsox and 2 minor leaguers from the padres to the Indians ............. so this is what it would look like if the deal does go down with Coco Crisp
Redsox would recieve: Coco Crisp and Dave Roberts (Probably playing SS)
Indians would recieve: Clement , Cash , and 5 Minor League prospects.
Padres would recieve: David Wells
I also Predict (and this has nothing to do with hard feelings)
Johnny Damon will not perform up to snuff in his uncommon enviornment and the Yankees will be looking to trade him for Bullpen Depth, However this does not mean he will end up with the Redsox they didnt pay more than 40 mill for him then , so why would they during a slump. However this doesnt mean that Damon wont land on the Redsox because if the Sox offer a couple of nice reliefers the Yankees may consider paying off some of the contract to get themselves out of such a large impulse negotiation. Which will open the door back up for Bernie Williams and Bubba Crosby and add depth to the bullpen for a crucial part of the season. and the Redsox end up getting Johnny Damon back for 4 years 40 million likethey offered all along.
