Sports Look: NBA top 20 Free Agents for the week of August 11th
Ben Gordon finds himself in a tough spot. He wants to get paid but doesn't want to be a Bull anymore. Gordon knows that Chicago's backcourt is loaded with players that play his position. If he takes the one year tender he knows that his minutes will be cut for players that will actually be on the Bulls for years to come, not a one and done player. Gordon has to find a team willing to give him a big contract and the only remaining team with big money to spend is the Grizzlies. The problem is that the Grizzlies are also stacked at the same position that Gordon plays and he wouldn't fit a need with the team. Gordon might have to suffer this next season by taking the 1 year tender offer, not get much playing time, and hope someone gives him a bigger contract next season.

Upon Further Review
Welcome to the latest edition of "Upon Further Review" and can we officially say it's over now? The Brett Favre Saga... it's done right? Green Bay is happy, the Jets are happy and Favre is left wondering why the heck he decided to come back and play now (see, I told you he should've just stayed retired). Can we all just stop talking about it and him now?
Speaking of Favre... sorry, I couldn't resist... now that he is a Jet, Chad Pennington becomes the hottest commodity on the free agent market. What team doesn't need an underachieving, weak armed quarterback on their roster???

O's can't cash in vs. Red Sox
Red Sox continue dominance of D. Cabrera

Melvin Mora shows his frustration after striking out in the first inning during the Orioles' 7-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. An erratic Daisuke Matsuzaka (15-2) allowed 11 base runners over five innings but managed to hold the Orioles to two runs. Daniel Cabrera (8-8) had another poor outing against the Red Sox, allowing six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings to fall to 2-11 with a 7.13 ERA in 16 career starts against Boston.
