We’ll be getting the new Eagles cheerleaders’ bikini calendar - but only because we, too, care so deeply about preserving our Mother Earth.
• Stay Classy, Atlanta! Charles Barkley makes Ron Burgundy proud.
• Derek Jeter makes his own mark on Maxim’s Hot 100.
• Chris Henry is really a good guy - if you ignore the ankle monitor.
• Charlie Weis suggests where Michigan can hold their next practice.
• Say, was Cedric Benson out boating with Whoopi Goldberg?

You needed more proof that Derek Jeter gets to date beautiful women, because you’re a stickler for evidence. Well, AM NEW YORK and BIG LEAGUE STEW both have your back on this one.
(You know, if the utility infielders aren’t doing anything … [mimes phone call])
With MAXIM’s “Hot 100″ list due out in a couple weeks, sources say that six of the women on the list have, at one time, dated the Yankees shortstop. Read more…
The LONDON SUN has details on the Pope’s upcoming, much-anticipated visit to New York and DC. In addition to a visit with President Bush, Benedict XVI will say Mass at Yankee Stadium.
The plan is to have the armor-plated, bulletproof Popemobile patrol the Yankee Stadium grounds thoughout the occasion. But thanks club’s concern over the field itself, the only man in Yankee Stadium with less range than Derek Jeter this Sunday will be the Pontiff himself. Read more…
Mark Herrmann of NEWSDAY has knelt in front of his Derek Jeter shrine, completed the Sign of the Yankee (drawing a cursive ‘N’ and ‘Y’ over his heart), and then chanted 10 “Derek Jeter MVP”s before settling in front of his computer to lay this big wet one on the Blessed Derek of Kalamazoo: the Yankees should build a statue to Jeter in front of the new Yankees ballpark. No, not someday. Right now.
Does Mr. Herrmann not realize that the Yankees already have a statue of Jeter at the old Stadium? They roll it into place between second base and third base at the start of each defensive inning for the home team, shove a glove onto its marbled hand, and then attach a sign to its chest, simply stating: “Blame A-Rod if I miss one.”

Tyler Kepner blogs in the NEW YORK TIMES about Derek Jeter’s reverence for 97-year-old Bob “Voice of God” Sheppard, who has been handling PA at Yankee Stadium since 1951.
Sheppard is suffering from bronchitis, which is keeping him away from his duties at the ballpark, but that won’t stop Derek Jeter from opening up the heavens when he steps in to the batter’s box this season. Read more…
Hideki Matsui made a rather bizarre announcement today, notifying the press that he was getting married to a “a 25-year-old civilian and had formerly been working in a reputable position at a highly respected company. I cannot go into further details at this current time.”
A civilian? Wow, we would’ve guessed Matsui met her in a South Dakota missile silo. Even stranger was how he introduced his wife to public life. Read more…
Anything Derek Jeter can do, Alex Rodriguez can do with less flair and an incredibly clumsy style. Yesterday, we noted Jeter’s full-throated feature in MEN’S HEALTH. Today, we receive word of Rodriguez’s MEN’S VOGUE April cover story, complete with a recommended daily workout like in Jeter’s piece.
(Give me my pride back, dammit! Drop it!)
Is it the same fluff piece as Jeter received? Glowing, unquestioning fealty from the periodical press? No, not unless being called “radioactive” constitutes a positive. 235U-Rod?
