Metrodome roof collapses; Bears-Vikings game in jeopardy?

The inflatable roof at the Metrodome collapsed after a winter storm dumped 17 inches of snow accompanied by wind gusts of 30 mph on Saturday. The Vikings-Giants game that was originally scheduled to be played there on Sunday has been moved to Monday night in Detroit. Roy Terwillinger, chairman of the Metropolitan Sports Facility says that he is confident that the roof can be repaired in time for next week's Bears-Vikings game scheduled to take place at the Metrodome. That gives crews eight days to repair three panels and re-inflate the roof.

Sox listening to offers for Buehrle?

The Boston Globe is reporting that the White Sox will listen to offers for ace Mark Buehrle, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Sox. Buehrle has 10-5 protection, however if he should waive those rights it is possible that teams may try to work out a long-term deal for him in conjunction with a trade. (Boston Globe)

Rodgers suffers concussion

The Packers suffered yet another devastating injury on Sunday as QB Aaron Rodgers was knocked out of the game in the second quarter after suffering his second concussion of the season. Rodgers was 7 of 11 for 46 yards prior to leaving the game. After his loss, the Packers faltered and fell by a final of 7-3 to the Detroit Lions. The victory was only the Lions third on the season.

Rodgers first concussion occurred in an overtime loss to Washington in October. He was able to play the following week. (Chicago Tribune)

Anthony wants to go to New York

There has been yet another twist in the Carmello Anthony saga. The Nuggets star is now reportedly saying he will only sign a long-term extension if he is traded to the New York Knicks. Anthony also said that he does not think the Nuggets will trade him anywhere where he would not accept an extension. (Atlanta Journal Constitution)

Nationals targeting Lee

Former Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee is reportedly being targeted by the Washington Nationals for their first base vacancy. Lee would provide strong defense and clubhouse leadership to the squad. Aside from Lee, the Nationals are also said to be in the running for Adam LaRoche.

"We will explore both options, so it expands our pool a little bit more," Nats GM Mike Rizzo said. "I don't ever want to feel rushed to do a deal. I think when you feel rushed to do a deal, you make a deal that you may not have wanted to do. So we are going to look at our options. We feel there are still good options out there, and we will see where they take us." (MLB.com)
