Farrell withdraws from Indians search
By: Alex Speier

WEEI.com has confirmed through a Red Sox team spokesperson that pitching coach John Farrell will not pursue an opportunity to interview for the vacant position of Cleveland Indians manager. The news was first reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Farrell, who pitched for the Indians and then served as the team's director of player development from 2001-06, had been considered a front-runner for the position had he pursued it.

 

Though there is a clause in Farrell's contract that stipulates that he cannot become manager of another club until after the 2010 season, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said on Monday that the team would allow the pitching coach to interview for the position in Cleveland should he want to do so. According to the Plain Dealer, however, Farrell informed Indians GM Mark Shapiro on Wednesday that he...

Wideman in question for weekend
By: Joe Haggerty

WILMINGTON -- Boston Bruins defenseman Dennis Wideman was not present during the on-ice portion of Wednesday afternoon's practice at Ristuccia Arena, and the veteran defenseman is being considered "day-to-day" by coach Claude Julien. Wideman's availability is still very much in question for a pair of road games in Dallas and Phoenix this weekend. A final determination isn't likely to come on the 26-year-old's status until Thursday at the earliest. Wideman injured his left shoulder in the second period of Saturday night's game against the New York Islanders, and has been out since then. Johnny Boychuk filled in for Wideman's spot Monday afternoon against the Colorado Avalanche. "If he misses the weekend then that would probably be the most (he'd miss). 'If' that's the case," said Julien, who held out hope that Wideman would be healthy enough to play. For more info from Bruins practice, check in with the...

Brady on Rush: 'Would I get a raise?'
By: Mike Petraglia

 

FOXBORO — Tom Brady was asked his thoughts Wednesday on Rush Limbaugh's interest in purchasing the St. Louis Rams. "Would I get a raise?" Brady asked very rhetorically. "I would feel a lot better as a Republican, less taxes to pay. Who knows what will happen with that," laughed the quarterback, who was then asked whether he had further reaction. "Not really, a lot of people have been weighing in on it the last few days," Brady said before adding, 'Uhh, no comment." Limbaugh is one of several parties who have expressed interest in purchasing the St. Louis franchise, if and when it hits the open market. The family of the late Georgia Frontiere has hired the firm of Goldman Sachs to look into putting the NFL team up for sale.

Belichick on Seau: 'Not too many of those coming down the pike'
By: Mike Petraglia

FOXBORO - The Patriots welcomed back veteran linebacker Junior Seau on Wednesday at Gillette Stadium. "He's a pretty special guy, I think we all know that," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "Physically, his make-up, his instincts, he's just a football player, and a real good one. He's a Hall of Fame guy. There's not too many of those coming down the pike." Seau made his first appearance at Patriots practice on Wednesday wearing his customary No. 55 while Derrick Burgess switched to No. 53. For much more, visit the football blog It Is What It Is.
