Showalter to Manage Jays?, Did Police Properly Investigate the Death of Steve McNair?, Bills Fans Raise Money to Get Jauron Out of Town, Maccabi Coach Stands-Off Against Replacement Referees

Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star suggested over the weekend that Buck Showalter is a perfect fit as manager of the Blue Jays. Late in the season, rumours spread of the clubhouse rift between the players and current Jays manager Cito Gaston. Gaston could very well be on his way out this winter and Showalter, who is currently an analyst for ESPN, has said in the past that he is open to managing in the majors again. He has a history of developing young teams and working with struggling clubs. He could be the right fit if the team decides to go into rebuilding mode.

CBS News is currently investigating the shooting death of former NFL QB Steve McNair and his girlfriend, Sahel Kazimi. Police have concluded their investigation, determining that McNair was murdered by his girlfriend before she proceeded to kill herself with a gun she purchased. The probe raises serious allegations about whether or not the police investigated the incident properly. CBS correspondent Armen Keteyian reported that he investigated the case for three months and uncovered errors made by police. One in particular about the murder weapon that really raises eyebrows. Police claim that Kazimi purchased the gun during a two-hour period she was absent from work. Keteyian is reporting that police are wrong about the date Kazimi was a-wall from work for two hours and that there are major questions about whether she purchased the weapon at all. CBS is promising to release another "big" mistake made by police during the investigation on Tuesday. Check back tomorrow for more updates on the situation. Police will have a lot of explaining to do if allegations are proven to be true.

The Buffalo Bills are off to a horrible start after a promising 2008-2009 campaign. Fans are already starting to point the finger at new head coach Dick Jauron. How about this for a story. A group of Bills fans raised money online to purchase a billboard along Interstate 190 in Buffalo. This is the message that the digital board reads: "It's time to clean house, RALPH (Bills owner Ralph Wilson)". It then lists the names of three members of the Bills coaching staff including Jauron. The billboard was turned on last night. How about that for a message.

Another funny story came to surface on Sunday. During a pre-season game between Euroleague team Maccabi Tel Aviv and the New York Knicks, Maccabi head coach Pini Gershon refused to leave the court after being ejected for receiving two technical fouls. The delay lasted for over 8 minutes and drew "Maccabi" chants from the crowd and laughter from players and personnel of both teams. Gershon was caught winking and chuckling at the camera himself numerous times during the stand-off. At one point, a local Rabbi was on the court pleading referees to allow the coach to stay in the game. If you didn't catch it on the highlights, check out my Featured Videos section for a clip of the incident. There has been much criticism in the pre-season over the replacement referees the NBA plans on using this season. Several coaches and players have been fined already for comments made about the suspect refereeing. Until the NBA can come to some sort of agreement with their referees, this will continue to be a hot topic as the regular season progresses.
