Derek Jeter and New York. Drew Brees and New Orleans. LeBron James and any warm weather town already home to another superstar that will pay him through the sun-scorched nose. Some cities and superstars are just made for each other.

With yesterday's news of Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford needing Tommy John surgery, Noe got all bent out of shape off-air about guaranteed contracts in sports and how much he hates them! That got us wondering about the following: even if it is unlikely or unrealistic, what things in sports would you love to see changed...

Forget this stuff about the Yankess playing in the Bronx Zoo or being dysfunctional. The dysfuction and zoo like atmosphere has moved to Beantown. The Red Sox are a calamity a day! Somewhere George Steinbrenner is probably jealous, or perhaps he is getting a chuckle out of the Boston mess...

While the Red Sox and Yankees have both gone 8-2 in their last ten games, Boston suffered a huge blow to their roster over the weekend with Carl Crawford and Clay Buchholz both going on the disabled list. The message in the Yankees clubhouse the next 2-3 weeks should be loud and clear: if you want to win the AL East, it's now or never.

You asked for it and here they are - in writing.  I'm going to predict the champions in all sports for 2011.

With Cliff Lee no longer being a sure thing for the Yankees, general manager Brian Cashman had a long meeting with Carl Crawford and his representatives Tuesday night.
