Sadly I'm a little too young to remember that one. Was it kind of like AJP got slugged in the face?

Soriano to play short center? I remember seeing this picture semi-recently. What was it from again?

Either that or he realized that he doesn't get that much attention from it anymore, and is going to try to find something else to make people talk about him. Pay attention to your kids, or they turn into attention whores like Chad Johnson.

Full. Thank you for your time. EDIT: Not so fast! Someone dropped, so there is currently one more spot.

2 spots remain. EDIT: now down to 1

That time of year again. 7x7 with the standard 10 categories plus OBP, SLG for hitting, and k/BB ratio and OBPA for pitching. Also 2 DL spots instead of just 1. Auction Draft will be set for Feb 19th at 830 pm Central time. PM me if interested. I already have a few filled spots. Hoping to have a cast of active fantasy players to have in leagues every year, because dead teams suck. ID 18738 password: lowtax edit: Last chance. Only 3 spots remain.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I prefer the NFL game to college. I have no connections to any NCAA Division-1 school. I can sit and watch the occasional Badgers game and maybe a marquee game like LSU/Ok State or something, but by and large I couldn't watch something like Marshall vs. Miami of Ohio for more than 5 minutes because I'd get bored very quickly.

Did that one girl with Nicki Minaj give the finger?

Awesome aquariums own.

I wonder if the death of that Rangers fan Hamilton flipped the ball to could have anything to do with this. I could see how someone could feel guilt and blame themselves for what happened, and in that case an addict is most likely going to seek comfort in his addiction during moments of weakness. Also I think I read that he does not have a "personal guardian" or whatever employed by the team-- someone to keep him accountable and to help keep him out of trouble. I'm sure the temporary lack of accountability to someone like that played a role as well.

Josh Hamilton . . . . . . . . . . . . Hitler . . . . Jimmy Carter (history's REAL greatest monster)

GOD DAMN HIM STRAIGHT TO HELL FOR BEING AN ADDICT AND TRYING TO CHANGE HIS WAYS!! I personally hope the SOB dies.

Hamilton is one of my favorite non-Cubs simply because of his story and how he finally made something out of all that talent when it looked like he'd thrown his chance away forever. I hope this is just a "slip but don't fall" moment in his ongoing recovery and I wish him the best of luck.

Yankees offseason checklist: 1) Leadoff hitter 2) Get more left-handed 3) find guys who can catch the ball

Peyton Manning may very well be done. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-cole_peyton_manning_colts_neck_surgery_jim_irsay013012

I am. Russel Wilson has looked pretty good. I'm intrigued by him, depending on where he goes. Approximately what round is he projected?

I don't believe that's true, at all. If Manning is healthy the Colts will retain him. He, however, is not likely at all to be healthy by March 8, so they're not going to retain him. I don't know. With all the holes they have do they really want to commit $28 million to a QB who may have 3-4 more years left, or use that money to sign some good FA's and just stick with Luck through his growing pains? When that quarterback is (a healthy) Peyton Manning, yes. A million times yes. He's worth well more than $28 million. The Colts had these same holes -- perhaps less than they do now -- the year before and won 10 games, hosted a playoff game, and, if the new kickoff rules were in effect, would have won that playoff game. Every team has holes -- New England was thirty-first in total defense, the Giants twenty-seventh, the Packers thirty-second, and New Orleans twenty-fourth. You simply do not discard a healthy Peyton Manning for "the future." Things change way, way too fast in the NFL to take such things for granted. And, as far as the cap hit goes, this year the Colts used, roughly, 16.5 percent of the cap on quarterbacks; next year, Manning/Luck/scrub would use about 18 percent of the cap. To be fair, though, the Packers discarded a healthy Brett Favre for "the future" and I think it worked out pretty well.

Irsay disputed this on twitter. Probably just damage control. I really don't see how Peyton stays in Indy with Luck on the horizon and that huge bonus coming on March 8th. I would be very, very surprised if he stayed with the Colts.

Take it for what it's worth, but an AL GM not affiliated with the Red Sox expects Bud Selig to grant the Sox "significant" player compensation for Theo in order to deter future movement of executives who have time left on their contracts. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/01/cafardo-on-dodgers-ethier-red-sox-cubs-orioles.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

That's a hell of a find. Thank you for that.

The Cajun Connection shall ride again.

Even the Ravens' team store is ripping on their kicker. Poor guy. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/expect-delivery-billy-cundiff-jersey-wide-left-080349417.html

In the early/mid 2000s I thought they should have been named the Houston Honkys. yeah they did have a ton of white starters back then: Bags, Bigs, Ensberg, Ausmus, Everett, Kent, Berkman, Oswalt, Clemens, Pettitte, Wade Miller, Lidge I'm pretty sure at one point during that time they didn't have a black guy on their 25 man roster. we only have one right now (I'm assuming you mean African-American) It's pretty alarming how the percentage of black players in the majors has dropped over the last 25 years or so.

There were bookies in the Stone Age?
