We're thankful that Dwyane Wade isn't really dating Star Jones, as had been previously rumored. And we're impressed that the Miami Heat guard has reportedly moved in with actress Gabrielle Union. She's beautiful. Union, of course, is one of Derek Jeter's many, many gorgeous ex-girlfriends. Wade better break it off with his new gal pal soon if he wishes to pick off every former mate of...

Can a player be too devoted to a team? Can a player’s devotion to a team and his willingness to play through an injury no matter how severe be a detriment? Of course, it can, and this year, the Yanks learned that the hard way. By his standards, Derek Jeter got off to a slow [...]

That's the HOF's word -- "treasures" -- not mine. See if you can guess which local team's dead stadium will be honored a wee bit more than the other. Some of the "treasures": -- Derek Jeter’s spikes when he...

... they're fishing or doing whatever," Torre said. "I have friends there. I will always root for Derek Jeter. But what they did to my brother was not right. Really, it was pathetic what they did.

… it seems right to mention that the Barack Obama who appears in Dreams, and, one presumes, in his own continuing interior life, is not a comforting multiracial or post-racial figure like Tiger Woods or Derek Jeter who prefers to be looked at through a kaleidoscope. Though there are many structural parallels between Dreams and Invisible Man, Obama believes in the old-fashioned, unabashedly...

The Yankees' big plans for a super duper sendoff to Yankee Stadium in November never made any sense to me. I'm glad they've decided to cancel the thing . First, the final event was going to be a hockey game. Then a concert. How about the baseball game that was played on Sept. 21? That was a fine fitting final event. And not just because Derek Jeter made such a lovely speech after the...

The Yankees’ 3-hole is a good place to be, as Derek Jeter’s presence before you and Alex Rodriguez’s bat behind you, certainly helps your production.

The “waste of a year,” as Derek Jeter put it, is over. A disastrous season that resulted in a perennial contender going home before October 1st can...
