Major league baseball's offseason is typically filled with news from the big market teams, such as the trade of Roy Halladay to the Phillies. However the Pittsburgh Pirates, a small market club, are looking to make a splash themselves, and have announced that they acquired a brand new hot dog machine for their concession stand.

Much speculation has centered around the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints potentially choosing to play their starters in pursuit of an undefeated season. Clearly feeling left out and suffering from what appears to be an inferiority complex, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley has announced that his team will be playing its starters for the remainder of the season in pursuit of a 6-10 record.

The St. Louis Rams are being praised by many for heriocally emerging from their locker room and making their way to the field, only to be embarrassed by the Tennessee Titans 47-7.

Mired in a three day dry spell, Tiger Woods has asked Jesper Parnevik if he knows any available women. Parnevik set Woods up with his wife, Elin Nordgren, who was Parnevik's nanny prior to marrying Woods.

Florida Governor Charlie Crist approached Jacksonville Jaguars management with a suggestion to boost attendance and hopefully help keep the team in Florida.

Baseball's winter meetings are underway, and of course the Yankees are again making the headlines, this time with their role in a three team trade that brought them Curtis Granderson from the Tigers. Several teams have been relatively quiet so far, including the Royals, whose general manager, Dayton Moore, swears he's in attendance at the meetings.

In what looks like a blatant move to protect their brand, Gatorade has announced that Tiger Woods drinks Powerade. This news comes curiously on the heels of Gatorade discontinuing their Tiger Focus product.

The BCS system has been much maligned, often criticized by those in favor of a playoff system as a result of some controversial bowl match-ups and championship games. This year will be no different.
