Playing catch-up

In my excitement about Yankees Camp, I’ve been a bit remiss in non-baseball items, so let’s see.

The NBA got under way a couple of nights ago.

• Jordan Farmar (LA Lakers) scored four points in 15 minutes in the NBA Champions’ first game against the LA Clippers on Tuesday.
• Omri Caspi (Sacramento Kings) made his regular season debut last night in a 102-89 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Caspi scored 15 points off the bench — the second highest for his team — and pulled down three rebounds in just over 19 minutes.

In the NFL

• Tackle Ian Olshanky made one tackle in the Cowboys’ 37-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Guard Kyle Kosier also started the game.
• Sage Rosenfels has still not appeared in a regular season game for the Minnesota Vikings (I pretty much cut and paste this line every week), who lost their first game of the year to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-17.
• Long snapper David Binn and the San Diego Chargers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-7.
• Carolina Panthers’ tackle Geoff Schwartz played in the team’s 20-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
• Aaron Podlesh and his Jacksonville Jaguars teammates enjoyed their bye week.

In the NHL

• Mike Brown, Anaheim Ducks, right wing, has played in 10 games, with one assist.
• Mathieu Schneider, Vancouver Canucks, defenseman, made his first start on Oct. 25, returning from off-season surgery. He has one goal in two games.
• Jeff Halpern, Tampa Bay Lightning, center, has appeared in nine games.
• Mike Cammalleri, Montreal Canadiens, center, leads his team with five goals and 12 points (goals plus assists) in 12 games
• Eric Nystrom, Calgary Flame, left wing, has four goals and one assist in 11 games.
