Saturday sports highlights:
↵- ↵
- The Yankees and Derek Jeter - in a surprise among all surprises - found a way to work it out. A 3-year, $51 million pact has been agreed upon, with a player option for a fourth season. The deal could take the Captain to age 40, but he's worth it to the Yankees in both statistical and sentimental value. Pinstripe Alley with more. ↵
- After playing a good first period and holding on to win against the Flyers last Saturday afternoon, the Devils followed it up with a good first period they couldn't hang on to, in a 5-3 loss to Philadelphia on the road yesterday. Ilya Kovalchuk scored for New Jersey, but Daniel Briere got the Philly winner. In Lou We Trust has more. ↵
- Rutgers had little to play for this weekend on national TV against West Virginia in Morgantown, and it showed, as the Scarlet Knights capped off a 1-6 Big East record and a 4-8 overall with 35-14 loss to the Mountaineers. It was the end of the Knights worst season since 2004, and with all the emotional dealings it came with, probably one they'll look to forget starting tomorrow. On the Banks has more. ↵
- UConn, meanwhile, is headed to the BCS on a Dave Teagart field goal. They beat USF at the last second, 19-16. The UConn Blog is stoked. ↵
