The Texas Rangers held their annual awards banquet in downtown Dallas tonight. That's where Michael Young talked publicly for the first time about his move from shortstop to third base. "As far as knowing the game, having knowledge, having experience, knowing players and knowing the smaller and finer points of the game, I wasn't one to give that to someone else," he said. "That's responsibility that I want."

The Rangers have made half-hearted efforts for years to sign that big ace on the mound. The club really hasn't been able to do that since landing Nolan Ryan in 1989. It's been pretty slim pickings since then. Ironically, Nolan could help turn the tide again, this time from the front office.

We've done a lot of bashing of an ESPN report recently that used anonymous sources to accuse former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones of threatening to shoot them.

Well now the The DeKalb district attorney's office has reopened its investigation into Jones' involvement in a June 18, 2007 incident, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The DeKalb district attorney's office recently received an a...
