Kobe Bryant

Laker legend Kobe Bryant died Sunday in a helicopter chase along with 8 others in California. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He talked about Kobe's work ethic, his accomplishments and where he stands among the best of all time.

Over the last two decades, Alex Rodriguez has probably made enough money to start his own team. A-Rod signed the first of his $200 million contracts in 2000 as a member of the Texas Rangers. Apparently dissatisfied with the biggest deal in sports history, A-Rod opted out in 2004 and signed a new contract worth an estimated $275 million. With a resume that boasts nearly 650 home runs and three MVP awards, it’s understandable that Alex can write his own ticket. Still, the Yankees might as well have made him an owner.
