Did the New York papers go too far in running pictures of Alex Rodriguez with a woman, not his wife, entering night clubs and running a story of his day with this woman?

I know we received a few complaints of running photos of LeBron James' new home in Bath. And there was some talk in our newsroom of whether this was news or not.

Do you guys care whom Grady Sizemore is dating or LeBron or Brady Quinn? Or what the marital status is of other players. Personally I don't think these items are stories unless the player or his teammates or the organizations say it is the cause of poor play or strife in the locker room.

Brady Quinn might not start a game this season for the Browns but he is definitely bringing the media to Berea. The New York Time weighs in on Quinn and the Browns.

LeBron James was fouled, but the Cavs can't wait to take the last shot. Go for the throat! … Danica Patrick will win an IndyCar Series race but not this weekend's Indy 500. … The Indians, Tigers, Angels and Red Sox will be the playoff teams in the American League. … Charlie Frye will be the starting quarterback for the Browns, and Brady Quinn will sit unless Frye and Derek Anderson get hurt. … Jamal Lewis is an ancient 27 and will show it this season. … Kent State football will make a run at the MAC title game. … Jimmie Johnson will win the Coca-Cola 600 because he does just about every year. … Expect the David Beckham talk to pick up after the holiday. His arrival to MLS is two months away. … The Yankees are done, and Joe Torre will not survive the season.

Ottawa will beat Anaheim in six games to win the Stanley Cup. … David Stern had to cringe when his next two potential superstars ended up in the Northwest with the Trail Blazers and SuperSonics winning the draft lottery's top two spots. Greg Oden will go to the Blazers and Kevin Durant to the Sonics. … Will anybody see them play? … Despite all of the offseason moves, the Patriots will not win the Super Bowl. No team has bought the Super Bowl, like you can a World Series. … Barry Bonds won't break Aaron's mark until late July at the earliest. … C.C. Sabathia will sign with the Dodgers after next season for $140 million over seven seasons. … Travis Hafner will sign a contract with the Indians, something like $75 million for five years, maybe more. … USC despite having so many players back will not win the BCS title. … Tiger Woods will win the U.S. Open next month at Oakmont C.C., near Pittsburgh. … Wait until you all see the changes to that great course.

The Cavs have a plan, and they followed it perfectly in Game 1. It is amazing when you have a plan and stick to it how far it can take you. Now to win a title, I think the offense might need to get a little better. But there is nothing saying that that can't happen this year.

The Browns drew media from all over to cover Brady Quinn's presence at minicamp. I will say it again. Phil Savage was desperate when he made the move for Quinn, and now he is going to be under more scrutiny than every before.

We often talk about windows of opportunity in sports. Well, the Indians' window is wide open, and they need to follow C.C. Sabathia right through it this year. C.C. is on track for his first Cy Young and probably will become the first $20 million per season pitcher in history after completing his deal next season. The Tribe's window might be just this season because all of the talk next season will center on C.C. and his contract status.

Jimmie Johnson and Tiger Woods won again. No surprises with either. Again, having a plan and following through. It does work, if you have the right plan.

Joe Thomas, Brady Quinn and Eric Wright were the Browns' selections on the first day of the NFL Draft.

Not a bad haul at all for GM Phil Savage. The only real question besides the risk in taking Wright with his questionable past is the cost of the picks.

Thomas was a no-brainer, really. He is the best at his position in the draft. And as long as he doesn't morph into Robert Gallery or Tony Mandarich, no one can argue with his selection

Quinn cost a lot in terms of draft picks (a second-rounder this year and a first next season), and his signing bonus and contract will be set higher than going 22nd in the draft will indicate. It will interesting to see how he does compared with the quarterbacks taken in the second round yesterday. The flaws in his game are arm strength and accuracy (the same as Charlie Frye). Strengths is his work in a pro-style offense with Charlie Weis. There is a reason he went 22nd in the draft, but the same thing could have been said about Tom Brady going in the sixth round.

Wright had some major problems at Southern Cal and transfered to UNLV, where he stayed out of trouble. He cost third and fourth round picks to move up.

It came across Saturday like Savage and Crennel know that their time is short. Which it is. The real questions is did they give away too much to try to secure their positions and make a big splash to cover their flaws.

Look for the chances of the Browns to trade up to take Brady Quinn grow if the Jacksonville Jaguars pass him with the 17th pick.

Would you trade next season's No. 1 to move up into the first round this season?
