Here Are This Week's Winners And Losers In Sports


New York Yankees Derek Jeter Engaged Minka Kelly

There was trouble in paradise this week for a lot of football teams, both pro and college.

Miami is still getting hit hard by the Nevin Shapiro scandal, and Tim Tebow is moving farther and farther down the quarterback chain.

But Jeter on the other hand... we can't be the only ones wondering if his break-up with Minka Kelly is the reason he's suddenly hitting so well...

WINNER: Danica Patrick

Patrick will move to the NASCAR Nationwide series full-time next year.

In doing so, she leaves the relative obscurity of IndyCar and reasserts herself on the national stage.

She’ll also bring an estimated $40 million in endorsements to her team JR Motorsports.



WINNER: Samuel Eto'o

Eto’o is one of the more lethal strikers in the world, but now he’s the highest paid.

He transferred from Italian giants Inter to the unknown Russian club Anhzi this week. His new contract is worth $29 million a year for three years — making him the highest paid soccer player in the world.

He won’t win the Champions League, but he’ll have a whole lot of cash.



WINNER: Plaxico Burress

Plax caught a touchdown in his first NFL game after leaving prison.

It’s been a long journey back for Burress after he shot himself in the leg two year ago. But he showed glimpses of his former self in a stellar three-catch, 66-yard performance.

The Jets may be a winner here too — Burress could end up being an upgrade over Braylon Edwards.
