Did Chris Mortensen really whittle his Terrell Owens list down to Raiders-or-nothing? And he had the Bills on the list of places T.O. wouldn’t go? That’s what Thoughts from the Dark Side says. Why weren’t the Eskimos mentioned on Mort’s list? Fun fact: Before he was driving drunk (ah, who are we kidding?), Brian Bosworth sent letters to some NFL teams telling them not to draft him, and the Tacoma Stars of the Major Indoor Soccer League drafted him anyway, “Because we didn’t receive a letter from him that he wouldn’t play for us.” Do you think if T.O. had sent some letters, he would’ve sent one to the Bills?

One more T.O. link: Ann Killion on the upcoming headaches for Trent Edwards, despite Edwards’ insistence that “We share the common goal of winning football games.” Spoken like a good Stanford man. Merc

Theme of the spring for the A’s: Who are you, and what have you done with the real Billy Beane? Today the world got the first glimpse of hyped Dominican pitching prospect Michael Ynoa, and Bay Bridge Baseball is all over it. Beane shelled out $4.25 mil in a bidding war for the rights to sign him, the largest sum ever for a Latin American player. What’s next? HDTVs in the mirrors at the Coliseum?

The Giants, meanwhile, don’t have to worry about a thing. They already have the NL West locked up. Or so says Craigslist.

Topps is releasing 3D baseball cards. For reals. Will 3D Brian Wilson throw up the “X” after strikeouts? You’ll have to buy a pack to find out. NYTimes via Good Morning Silicon Valley

The Warriors promised discounts to season ticket holders and (maybe) didn’t deliver them? Noooo. I refuse to believe this. Talking Points and Warriorsworld.
