My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ty pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

The reporter, Mike Bires was a college roomate of mine. He also happened to be the other halfback on the Hopewell High School football team that featured Tony Dorsett. His high school/college nickname, (no kidding)... OJ!

Crazy Canuck

Having this type of "dead money" on the books is part of the consideration, no doubt. If management thinks that the "risk-reward" is worth it, then I'm for it. One home playoff game pays for it, no problem.

Have your fun guys but Mike Bires has been a reporter covering sports in the Pittsburgh metro area for nearly 30 years. He covers the Pittsburgh pro scene as well as local sports. The Beaver County Times is a significant news daily in the Pittsburgh metro area...

Mike is at the very least as credible as any of the Phoenix metro reporters.

I hear you, I didn't wish to overstate the case.

But if Kent Somers or Darren Urban, reported the same as what Mike Bires did it wouldn't be getting the same type of ridicule in this thread.

I have no problem with the ridicule; just guys having fun. But I do know Mike and I just wanted to clarify the source of the report as legitimate.

Fighting for the Law: Two teams vie for star cornerback

06/06/2006

Veteran NFL cornerback Ty Law may soon be signing a new contract.


Law, an Aliquippa native who played for the New York Jets last season, was supposed to play Monday in the 14th annual Tony Dorsett/McGuire Memorial Celebrity Golf Classic at Treesdale Golf & Country Club.

But Law called tournament organizers Sunday night informing them that he'd regrettably have to cancel. Law's agent, it seems, is close to negotiating a new deal, possibly with the New England Patriots or the Arizona Cardinals.

Law played the first 10 seasons of his pro career with the Patriots and played in the Pats' Super Bowl wins in 2001 and '03. He was injured (foot) for New England's Super Bowl championship in '04.

"Ty would have been here if he could," said Dorsett, the Hopewell native and Hall of Fame running back. "But he had business to take care of. We understand."

- Mike Bires

CardLogic

I didn't realize that Ty Law is from Alliquipa also. That being the case Mike probably has known him and covered his career since Law was in high school. My guess is that Mike spoke directly to either Law or more likey Dorsett about the appearance cancellation.

That said, Law will probably go to the Patriots!

So now we know there are only two degrees of separation between all of us and Ty Law. You need to make a phone call, buddy!

He was a sports writer for the AZ Republic a few years ago. I'm not sure how to spell his last name. It could be Shapel. He covered the Cards.

If we get Law, I'll start chugging Kool Aid. Hell, I'll do a Kool Aid-filled beer bong.

CB depth is one of the last question marks I have about this team that the organization hasn't addressed. Whether or not the changes implemented to the teams weak-points (OL, DL, QB depth, RB) work out or not, that's to be seen...but at least they've made what look to be good moves to shore up the holes.
