Bruins in the small print

When the Dolphins lost to the Eagles Sunday, they must have set some kind of record. They played two quarterbacks, Matt Moore and JP Losman, who were UCLA recruits but finished their careers elsewhere. No wonder Tony Sparano got fired. But surely it wasn't his fault to have those guys on his bench. For the record, Moore had been playing pretty well for the last month with a ball-control offense, but after he got KO'd by the Eagles, JP came in and looked appropriately awful.

In other news here in Philly, Bruin Ben Francisco, one of the best-liked players in the Phillies clubhouse, was traded to Toronto for a minor league reliever rather than getting arbitration. Benny Fresh, as he was known, famously beat the Cardinals in game 3 of last fall's playoffs with a 3-run pinch-hit homer. Had the rest of the team played as well, they might have gotten a WS ring. Good luck to Ben in the Great White North. That leaves the Phils with one Bruin, Chase Utley, who isn't going anywhere.
