Here are some of the highlights of the interview with the commissioner.</p> <p>-- Stern said they can't do anything about <strong>Tim</strong> <strong>Donaghy</strong>'s book. He hasn't read the whole book. "I have read the excerpts that were on Deadspin," Stern said.</p> <p>Stern said the one thing that he already takes exception to is the idea the league mandated officials alter the outcome of games. Stern said that's just not true.</p> <p>-- Dan asked Stern if he wants LeBron James to stay in Cleveland or go elsewhere. "I believe as a system, that it should favor the incumbent team in re-signing the player, whoever that player is," Stern said. Stern said because of that, he'd like LeBron to stay in Cleveland, even if that's not necessarily the popular choice.</p> <p>-- Stern said the NBA has no intention of expanding immediately. He does think that some day they might very well have a team overseas.</p> <p>Stern said any theory about revenue sharing&nbsp;does include the option of contraction. "But that doesn't seem to be a realistic option," Stern said.</p> 2009-11-06T09:53:42-05:00 2009-11-06T09:53:42-05:00 2009-11-07T20:31:48-05:00 10 85281 Andrew Perloff 3992 New York NY 538 http://img.fannation.com/images/layout/profile-headshot.gif Adam Sandler is a diehard Yankees fan.

"Favre is playing very well. This team probably would have been 5-3 without him. They're still a team in contention. What Peyton Manning is doing ... with all those guys you've never heard of before. It's unbelievable. ... Without Manning that team's record could easily be reversed."</p> <p>Eisen says that maybe we should slow down the Favre stuff because the whole second half of the season will be dedicated to the veteran quarterback.</p> 2009-11-06T10:32:27-05:00 2009-11-06T10:32:27-05:00 2009-11-07T16:39:38-05:00 2 85201 Andrew Perloff 3992 New York NY 538 http://img.fannation.com/images/layout/profile-headshot.gif Tony Dungy evaluates Favre, McNabb, Romo <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:CNN_DPAudio('http://ht.cdn.turner.com/si/danpatrick/audio/2009/11/06/DP-Tony_Dungy-11-06-09_Interview.mp3')"><img src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/sect/danpatrick/listen_segment_148x16.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="148" height="16" /> </a></p> <p>NBC's <strong>Tony Dungy</strong> joined the show to break down Week 9 in the NFL.</p> <p>Dan asked Dungy about <strong>Brett</strong> <strong>Favre</strong>'s season and whether or not he's a bona fide MVP candidate. Dungy said Favre's right up there with <strong>Peyton Manning</strong> and <strong>Drew Brees</strong>. Dungy pointed out that Favre is in a great situation -- in part because defenses key on Adrian Peterson, and also because he knows the system.</p> <p>"The difference between Minnesota and the Jets for Brett Favre is the familiarity of the offense," Favre said. "He's now running an offense he ran for 16 years."</p> <p>Dan also asked about the two quarterbacks in Sunday night's Cowboys-Eagles showdown. Dungy said both Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo need to win a Super Bowl to satisfy their fan bases. Dungy said McNabb has done everything except win the big one. Romo, on the other hand, is compared to Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, which also isn't fair.</p> <p>Dungy likes the Eagles to beat the Cowboys in Philly on Sunday night.</p> <p>"It's all going to be about the quarterback position," Dungy said. "If [McNabb] gets time to throw and they don't pressure him, it's going to be a long day for the Cowboys.</p> 2009-11-06T09:35:22-05:00 2009-11-06T09:35:22-05:00 2009-11-06T10:34:34-05:00 0
