    Can we just swap bullpens with Iowa? Maybe those guys will be hungry and will actually perform.

    honest to god, are there not some triple AAA scrubs that are more competent than these mugwumps we currently have in the pen?

    Carl needs to go coach high school ball or something.

    of course it's McCann. Douchebag.

    That’s a steal for the Braves.

    yeah, the AAF sorta low-key tried something like that. Each team had a collegiate region they could draft from or something like that. I'm not sure how it'd work, but it'd be a fun idea. Using the teams that are listed as having XFL teams in 2020: Seattle and LA - Pac 12 players Dallas and Houston - Big 12 St Louis and Tampa - SEC Washington - ACC New York - Big 10

    Not only that, but the entire business model of football is predicated on irrational fan emotional investment bringing you out to the stadium once or twice a year for many, and maybe 6 or 7 times for the rest of people. You cannot expect there to be any "fans" of pro sports teams for a generation. It's a longterm investment. You have to be willing to take lumps early on unless you are selling things like first class facilities and access to the best players in the world (expansion teams). You'd be better off not wasting money on "name" coaches either. Hit the nail on the head. Fandom has to be earned and it's hard to earn it with a sub-par product. Well I guess McMahon is happy. If the AAF was AAA-ball, the XFL would have been AA regarding the level of athletes he'd have been stuck with. I guess now he gets his pick. The JFF vs. Swag Kelly matchups will be fun. As I said, I think the one lasting legacy of the AAF is that we will see a San Antonio team sooner rather than later.

    Football just doesn't feel right in Spring. No matter how well a Spring league is advertised or marketed, it just doesn't work. It's unnatural.

    The San Antonio team averaging 30k a game surely bodes well for them to be an eventual NFL location.

    Guess I can amend the title now

    our window is closed isn't it?

    Bringer of Rain is a Spartacus reference, JD

    A stat to make us all feel ancient: there are no longer any current MLB players who played in the 20th century. I know that makes sense if you think about it, but wow, definitely makes me feel old.

    Javy Baez is on pace for 328 HRs and 728 RBIs this season. MLB is so fvcked

    What am I missing on the Zagunis hate? He seems to have had a good spring.

    LSU has national recognition yet aren’t a bad blood in hoops, so this isn’t good for them from an NCAA standpoint. NCAA would never go after UNC, Duke, or Kansas hoops in a major way but LSU is big enough to be a very viable scapegoat in all this FBI scandal.

    Baseball manager: "If I tug on my ear once and then touch my belt buckle, then have your next pitch sail wide and crumple to the ground in pain as if your arm just exploded." That's how to overcome such a scenario as you propose. If that happens baseball will be real quick to mandate a certain number of games pitchers have to miss if pulled from games due to injury. Well if a pitcher sucks so hard that he has to fake an injury then maybe he needs to sit for a few days anyways, haha
