Don't trade for Santana, and especially don't give up Hughes and Melky and maybe also another young pitcher. In fact, it's starting to look like the Yankees are trying to get Santana for one reason: So the Red Sox don't. That's the best reason, but is it a good reason? What would they have to give up?

But that hasn't stopped longtime Cowboys season ticket holder Paul Gabriel from making plans to go to Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 3. Mr. Gabriel, who operates the popular "Gabe's Trailer" tailgate party, said he was convinced in early December that the Cowboys would play in the Super Bowl and made plans to stay with a friend in Scottsdale, Ariz. He's hoping to get game tickets through the team's ticket lottery and plans to fly his six-seat Piper Malibu private plane there. "I just said, 'What the heck, I'm going whether [the Cowboys] get there or not,' " Mr. Gabriel said. "But I do think they'll get there." With a place to stay and a private plane, Mr.
