EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Rentschler Field, the University of Connecticut's football facility, served as a temporary home for the New York Sentinels on Thursday night. There is a chance it could house a UFL team of its own next season. In a story first reported by FanHouse on Oct. 30, the four-team UFL announced that it will be adding two more teams and debuting a 10-game schedule in 2010.
Commissioner Michael Huyghue (pictured), speaking with reporters during Thursday's 24-6 victory by the undefeated Florida Tuskers over the winless Sentinels, suggested that Hartford -- a city within a state without professional sports -- is definitely a front-runner to land one of the new franchises.
"There are a lot of things that make us feel good about (Hartford) as a prospect," said Huyghue, a native of nearby Windsor, Conn. "It's a market that can draw from New York and Boston, and it's easier for football than for a sport like, say, soccer because football is naturally in people's blood."
You rant at a press conference that you're worth the millions as the highest-paid employee in a bankrupt state, cold to the fact that everyone around you is in a panic about losing a job or sending a kid to college. The governor says you've embarrassed yourself, and you look so foolish that you become an instant YouTube cult figure.
It is as the sports Almighty intended it. For every winner, there is a loser (take that and your nil-nil ties, soccer!). For every Tiger Woods, there is a Detroit Lion. For every Isiah Thomas as a player, there is an Isiah Thomas as a general manager, league owner, boss and suspected poor Parcheezi player. And for every North Carolina with its win for the program's ring, there is a Wake Forest, which now hasn't made the Final Four since Carolina coach Roy Williams entered puberty.

Somewhere in Michigan State's middle-class brand of Michigan hope and mixed martial basketball, and North Carolina's mechanized cavalry of an offensive attack, there may be a similarity or two lurking somewhere. 
DETROIT -- In an earlier journalistic life, Friday would've been a really big day for me. The reason: the government, each first Friday of the month, issued its most-important piece of economic news -- the unemployment report -- and I covered economics. The report it issued this Friday was an instant Page 1 story, which is what they called the first thing you saw on this thing I worked at forever called a newspaper. Friday's report revealed the recession we're in pushed the unemployment rate to its highest mark in a quarter century, 8.5 percent.
