Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

A note buried at the bottom of this article about a possible Cliff Lee to the Yankees trade:

The Yankees have also signed veteran corner infielder Chad Tracy, who will head down to the minors for a while. Tracy will provide protection for Alex Rodriguez and his sometimes balky hip.

Now we know why Tracy...

…didn’t want to head back to Iowa.

Yeah, but now he at least has an off-chance...

…of getting a ring – especially if this Cliff Lee thing goes through.

CLiff Lee is right now top spot on google trends.

He’s beating out some event that happened in Cleveland yesterday

That's a good thing.

At least it’s a legitimate trade involving someone who will actually likely contribute to a championship.

Definitely.

What Tracy would contribute to it this year if called up is likely to be a few errors and outs. Lee would certainly be a help for any team right now.

The Frito Bandito is just a little bit Racist!

He just has a corny sense of humor.
