NFL - Freeney hopes to play. Colts could make Manning highest-paid QB. Manning biggest star by far on Media Day. Brock Solid-There's no replacing All-Pro Dwight Freeney. But Colts veteran Raheem Brock is confident he can carry the load. Which Jeremy Shockey will we get? The pill who's bitter about the past? Or the nice guy who's determined for Super Bowl glory? Either way, the Saints are better with Shockey on the field. By rule Kyle Eckel should be serving in the Navy. After essentially being fired, he is instead in his second Super Bowl. The Saints fullback got his wish, to be a football player, not a soldier.

Kaman returns, leads Clips past Bulls. One Night, Two Losses-The Nets dropped to 4-43 and lost asst. coach Del Harris at the same time as he resigned. Dave Del Grande's Power Rankings, DDG's rules. First, he ditches the East-West All-Star format, then lofts up trade possibilities that would affect the playoffs -- and July's free-agent spending spree.

MLB - Texas, Seattle and Oakland all got better. The Angels, though still the AL West favorites, took a step backward. This is as intriguing as the division has ever been. 'Finances will not hold us back'-The Rangers were so financially handcuffed last year that one employee said it was just like working for the Expos when major league baseball owned the team. Factoring in the player and the park he'll call home in 2010, Cliff Lee pitching in Safeco Field should be the best fit among players who changed teams. Bryce Harper left high school two years early to be eligible for this June's draft, where he is expected to go No. 1. The miserly Marlins will be monitored to ensure they spend enough on players to complement ace Josh Johnson.
