Daily Double - Speechless Edition

1. So San Diego, it’s Norv Turner. Really? That just happened didn’t it? Wow. I’m kind of speechless and really it’s the underwhelming speechlessness, not that breath-taking anticipation type of speechlessness.
   
   
   There will be folks who will chime in that Turner hasn’t really ever had a chance since leaving the Dallas Cowboys for the Redskins in 1993 and that his years with the Cowboys were marked by spectacular offense. Of course, no one mentions the fact that he arrived in 1991 when most of the cornerstones of that offense were in place. Oh and by the way, he had some pretty good talent on those offensive football teams.
   
   
   However, it could be argued that he falls into probably one of the best situations in the league. San Diego is loaded on both sides of the ball and the AFC West is not particularly competitive (any division with the Raiders in it is not competitive). Still, does anyone really think that Turner is an upgrade from Marty?
   
   
   Oh and yes, noted Chargers fan, the might mjd, is underwhelmed as well.
   
   
2. Who had six days in the length between spring training opening and the first A Rod story to be filed pool? Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Here is an even bigger question, do I really care that A Rod and Jeter aren’t best friends? Where does it say that guys have to like each other to win? I know a team of guys who really weren’t all that close and won a championship. Why do I care…..wait, what did I just read?
   
   

   You go from sleeping over at somebody's house five days a week, and now you don't sleep over. It's just not that big of a deal. That's happened with your friends, I'm sure. Some of your friends.

   Umm, sure A Rod, when I was five I slept over at a friend's house. But, since I turned ten I think I have kept my blankie and myself at home in my big boy bed. I guess Tim Hardaway doesn’t like Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez.
