Is he going to be re-arrested every time someone else comes forward?
-
Joe Cowley is also mentally challenged. agreed. I think this one may have some truth to it though. Sanchez would be available, Marlins(Ozzie) reportedly want Z, Marlins would need more pitching, and the Cubs probably want to rid themselves of Z.
-
Joe Cowley on the Score this morning said, if the Marlins sign Pujols, than a Zambrano for Gabby Sanchez trade would become a real serious conversation. The Cubs would have to eat most of the money.

I think there is also a decent percentage of Cardinal fans who understand the possible downside to a large long term contract. I know many Card fans who want to pass on Albert at if it is higher than what they offered in the Spring.
-
my guess is that most teams will have to do 2 Western swings a year, a Southern one and a Northern one. I think one thing that is not mentioned is how often West Coast teams will have to come East now. They will probably have to make 3 or 4 swings East every year.

I figured Wings fans might be upset for that very reason, but they still get what they wanted. Fewer games that start at 10:30 eastern time. without a doubt. I think it is just the anti-Bettman crowd being anti-Bettman. I am anti-Bettman in general, but this seems to be about as good as it could get for realignment. Wings fans need to realize that the league does not revolve around the Wings. Yahoo had a good article with the winners and losers of the new format. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Winners-and-losers-in-the-NHL-8217-s-new-4-conf;_ylt=Al57uTHtOgrvm8E4tZlz.6p7vLYF?urn=nhl-wp19111

The Winter Meetings Thread
NewUserName replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
But don't you think that Konerko had to look at the team last year and think that the window is only 1 year anyway, 2 tops. I don't feel bad for Konerko at all. I think if the White Sox were in real rebuild mode they could easily turn Konerko for a good prospect. I think his contract is only in the 13 mill range for 2 more years. He is still a very good middle of the order hitter. -

Did you copy this line from Sky Baller? -
A lot of Wings fans seem upset and think that that Wings were promised a move to the Eastern Conference. I like this way better. Of course the Wings will be playing in arenas that a much closer to me so I will attend a couple of games a year. The first two rounds of the playoffs will be exactly what it was until the early 90s.

I think there should be a ESPN thread stickied in Rants. BTW....I was watching whatever the show is on after Mike and Mike this morning and I thought Steven Smith was going to kick Skip Bayless's butt. It was funny, I guess Bayless is a Tebow fan and it almost got out of control.

Stewart/Dewitt swap?
NewUserName replied to seanhopper's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
a 4 page bump in this thread lead me to believe that there was a new hot rumor...this certainly ended up being disappointing. -
Wow this is a bad signing. I was looking at his numbers and the first thing that I noticed was that he hasn't even played a full season in 4 yrs.
-
Wasn't Michigan 11th in the Harris poll last week?
-
My dad (Michigan fan) wants Alabama to be in the Title game. He does not want Michigan to play a pissed off Alabama in the Sugar Bowl
-
I know Wisconsin has QB issues beyond Wilson, but I think Crist would just add numbers to those issues, not solve any.
-
yes it was. I do not like when officials swallow the whistle because it is late, so I am going to stay consistent with that now. That being said I have always thought that football should have a penalty against flopping. I was shocked that Wisconsin went for it on the Duckworth play. Reflecting back, I think Wilson being able to keep plays alive with his mobility is the main reason Wisconsin won. Well that and several mental errors by MSU.
-
i'm sure if he had access to a time machine and knew the returner was going to take it inside the 10 he wouldn't have sent anyone after the punter. It didn't look like they had a block on, there seemed to be a token rush by a couple of players with Lewis getting in closer than expected. I don't think Wisconsin expected any rush at all.
-
I think overall MSU was a better team tonight. They however made several really dumb mistakes while Wisconsin played mostly mistake free. The fumbled kick off return, Adams going high and missing the sack(and getting a face mask penalty) on the Wilson to ? TD pass, and obviously the running into the punter were all plays that really hurt MSU. The atmosphere in the Lucas Oil place was really electric the whole game. Great venue. There did seem to be a lot of empty seats though. And I think OSU should jump Alabama.
-
I think Scotty Bowman made the meddler who likes to shake things up style of coaching quite common.
-
I like that the contract should be easy to trade as long as he rebounds some.
-
I am going. I got rather cheap seats for the game...it actually cost us quite a bit more for the Michigan/Illinois game. I also looked to go to the MSU/Northwestern game last week and it would have cost a little more than what I paid for the B1G title game.
-
wait, what? Some Internet sleuths have been doing some work over the past 24 hours or so. Seems a Big 12 official who graduated from Tulsa had pictures on Facebook (the account has since been deleted) of himself wearing a Texas sweatshirt. They have also found a Google images view of his house and parked in the driveway is a car with a Longhorns sticker on it. Furthermore, it appears that he has been posting on a Texas A&M message board quite often about officiating calls and when talking about one particular call in a Texas-Kansas State game referred to the Horns as "we". So just to let you know, similar rumors have been going around about Michiganfan/refs in football and Indianafan/refs in BB for years.
-
Is it a B1G ref wearing Michigan garb?

I kind of disagree with your statement. When a team is a good puck possession team like the Hawks have been, then you can get by with a (game managing, inning eating) steady goaltender. I think one of the bigger differences between Cup winning Hawks and the current Hawks is their puck possession is not as good, which exposes the goalie more. I do not think any team can get by with a steady goaltender. Philadelphia has shown that though they have skilled offensive players, they are not really good at puck control, so they need a better goaltender to win. So to agree with your statement, yes the Hawks need to be better at puck possession in front of Crawford. Their skill level on the 3rd line is not as good as the Cup team and trading Campbell is going to hurt also. Plus I am not sure that Q is really a puck possession coach.

I think OSU's problem is going to be that it seems that ESPN is favoring a rematch. I am not sure that you will hear a lot of national coverage favoring OSU. I don't want to call the voters dumb, but I get the sense that most do not do the homework you are suggesting TT. I think if OSU beats OU that they probably should be in the title game, but I don't think its going to happen.
