I'm officially hating on Andy Pettitte. $10 million a year a pay cut?

1. Cashman flies to Houston to tell the hurler "take it or leave it." Pettitte made $16 million last year. If Yanks' offer isn't good enough, would Pettitte retire? Mike Cameron, meanwhile, no longer seems like a priority.

2. G-men banged up. Brandon Jacobs and Domenik Hixon both missed a second-straight day of practice Thursday. Jacobs hurt his left knee and Hixon sprained an ankle and foot against Philly last weekend.

3. Brad Smith has a concussion. And if you saw the hit the Jets' receiver took from Patrick Willis Sunday, you'd know why. But if you didn't see the hit ... click here (warning: not suitable for all audiences).

4. Penguins smoke Islanders, 9-2. Petr Sykora and Pascal Dupuis both score hat tricks. Wow.
