My take: I'm guessing the only people on the planet who really want to hear Hank talk are player agents. The price of poker just went way, way up.
News item: Hundreds of thousands of Phillies fans lined the streets Friday for the city's first world championship parade in 25 years.
My take: Now, let me get this straight. It was Halloween and everyone in Philadelphia was dressed up like a winner? I'm confused.
News item: New San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary took some heat last week after dropping his pants as part of a halftime rant during his head coaching debut last Sunday.
My take: I've got no problem with that, and I bet the great halftime motivator Knute Rockne wouldn't have a problem with it, either. If the players don't want to see it happen again, they need to get out there and win one for the zipper.
News item: The Milwaukee Brewers have revealed that they are getting ready to make a pre-emptive offer to soon-to-be free agent CC Sabathia.
My take: It would be great if he decided to stay because he likes the team and is comfortable in Milwaukee, but there's no way the Brewers are going to outbid the Yankees and Boston Red Sox if he files for free agency, which he almost certainly will do.
News item: The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a contract extension that calls for him to make more than $11 million per year through the 2014 season.
My take: The Pack would have locked Rodgers up for longer, but they're pretty sure they can persuade Brett Favre to come back in 2015 if there's a problem.
News item: Agent Leigh Steinberg, who was the inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire, was arrested in Southern California last week on charges of being drunk in public.
My take: I heard he had the occifer at "Hello."
