"You complete the D.P."...Errr, "I can't quit you." Why is it that all of these romance films always have that one unforgettable signature line, but I can't remember my anniversary??
JETER OVER-RATED By GEORGE KING - New York Post
"In a Sports Illustrated poll of 470 players, Jeter was named on 9 percent of the ballots as the most over-rated. Mets center fielder Carlos Beltran was second with 7 percent and Alex Rodriguez was third with 6 percent."
As much as I enjoy a good Yankee "Monstah Bash ", this "poll" smacks of sensationalism and the other Green Monstah. It will be interesting to see, when the SI article comes out, exactly how the question was presented; Journalists certainly know how to phrase a leading line of questioning.

Jeter may be the smartest ballplayer to ever put on the uniform, and certainly embodies the "intangibles" label. To use the worn out cliche: Jeter's picture is next to the word "winner" in your Webster's published post-1996 World Series. Statistics can be spun to support just about any side of any argument, so we won't find all of the answers there. But next blog post, we will try to impartially examin the data. After all, I am a born and bred New Englander, so if anything, I my bias will skew the data against my intellectual position on Jeter. And for the record, Nomah really was better.
