		<description>I'd give Paris Hilton a fucking Nobel Prize if she'd persuade Britney Spears to start wearing some god-damn undies with her mini-skirts and stop flashing her gnarly c-section scarred groin to the paparrazzi.

Not that I'd go out of my way to look at that kind of stuff, but there is only so much time one should devote to news all-Red Sox.</description>

		<description>I think one problem with questioning Drew's worth at 14 million is that people are still thinking in terms of last offseason's market conditions. Is Drew worth 14 million in the same market that the Sox were only willing to go to 10-11 million per year for Damon? No. Is he worth 14 million in this market where Soriano is making 17 million and Mathews Jr. is making 10 million? Who knows. I hope he is worth that in the end.</description>
