Sox-Less Sports Update

The Sox are in the Bronx and appear to be in a bit of turmoil. There is plenty of non-Sox news out there to occupy your mind.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis is living down to his nickname. He is lingering in restricted free agent limbo and it's taking a toll on the amiable big guy. He dropped some mercenary lingo on WEEI on Monday. He actually told Jeff Goodman "I’m going wherever someone wants to pay for my services," which is realistic and, frankly, necessary in the 21st century NBA, but not something loyal Celtics fans want to hear.

Davis has also been commenting about his contractual status with the Celtics on Twitter, according to the Boston Herald. Given the signing of Shelden Williams, the Herald reports today that Davis tweeted "I don’t know why then they sign (Williams) before me!!" However, according to SpearsNBAYahoo on Twitter, who may or may not be former Boston Globe and current Yahoo! Sports writer Marc Spears, the Davis tweets are not from Big Baby himself. We don't know which tweets to believe. The mere idea, however, of a Twitter-based credibility feud is making Bostonist laugh.

Meanwhile, the Patriots added another possibly disgruntled Oakland Raiders player to their defensive arsenal. Defensive end Derrick Burgess was acquired for "undisclosed draft considerations," whatever that means. Apparently, it means the clubs swapped draft picks and Burgess is like a gratuity.
