On a day where:
-Lance Armstrong won the fourth stage of the Tour de France, taking over first place in his quest for a seventh-straight championship;
-Ray Allen became the first name off the list in the NBA free agent signing period; and
-Randy Johnson pitched on three days rest and got a big 'W' for his team with seven strong innings;
ESPN.com's lead story is about players that are easy to hate. It is no surprise then that Alex Rodriguez (a Yankee) is the posterchild they've chosen as their favorite player to hate. Aren't there better stories out there? Don't any of the three that I've mentioned above qualify as better lead stories?
For all of the energy ESPN expends on Yankee-bashing, you'd think that all 25 Yanks had gotten a turn with George Bodenheimer's mother, wife, sister and daughter. Bodenheimer is ESPN's president. Most corporate executives are classier but, again, as the saying goes "You can take the boy out of New England but you can never wash the filth out of the boy."

With Allan gone , I think all eyes to go what will Michael Redd do. Sure he can sign for mo'money in Milwaukee but he's in Milwaukee. Relying on a healthy TJ Ford might be a risk Redd isn't willing to take. Rumors here in Cleveland continue to swirl on the possibility of a sign and trade for Z.
