Samardzija would like to think he'll arrive about the right time. He grew up a Cubs fan in Valparaiso, Ind., and saw that in addition to the $10 million they spent on him, the Cubs threw nearly $300 million at other free agents.

 

Samardzija's myspace profile said otherwise when he was drafted.

[Brian]

I'm not entirely convinced that's his real myspace. His number 1 friend is Brady Quinn, and that Brady Quinn profile has 2 Samardzija profiles in his top 8.

Samardzija was a White Sox fan, but his dad is a Cubs fan.

Amongst other things that tipped us off that he's a Sox fan.

1 is the WR and 1 is the SP. I'm guessing the WR profile is higher up on BQs list of friends...

I found this video on Youtube. It has Jeff talking about his decision to play baseball over football and also has an interview with his dad. Nice report:
