Rangers Extend Young

Great day in Rangers' History! The franchise player will remain the franchise player and avoid Ryan Smyth treatment.

From Evan Grant, "The contract will keep Young, 30, with the Rangers through 2013. The club will pick up its $5 million option for 2008, then guarantee five years at $16 million per season. "

"Young also said that he is "100 percent" convinced that the Rangers will be a winning team soon, which was something he wanted to be sure of before he decided whether to re-sign."

Can't wait for the season to start!

Other notes:

The Bronco's agreed to trade for Dre Bly. Giving up Tatum Bell, George Foster and a pick. Really good value for the Lions. It would be like the Boys giving up MBIII and Columbo.

I'm off to New Orleans to check out the possibility of the NBA All-Star game being played their next year. If the city can handle me and my friends, all-star weekend will not be a problem.

More on the Young signing, Rangers upcoming season, Mavs greatness, Cows draft/free agency, sports nerds, and other musings when we return!
