You would think they'd have to have some sort of agreement with local affiliates to broadcast games in the Cubs territory that aren't in the Chicago tv market. I can't imagine they'd be able to make any real money if they didn't.

I'm pretty sure the dark skinned gentleman wearing the Soler jersey is Soler, but I could be wrong.
-
Probably Jim Caldwell. Munchak is apparently high on the list as well. This is looking like a bad hire for Detroit. Man, their upper management must be really terrible. With everything they have in place it would seem to be a really desirable job that you could walk into and have a ton of success.

Is The Ricketts Family the worst thing to...

They can't seem to get that built so they had to come up with something else? -
Probably because Soler died mid season last year and hasn't been seen since. In all seriousness, that's a big part of why I voted for Almora. He hasn't been the most durable guy thus far, but he at least played a decent amount and was good when he did. Soler was swinging bats at opposing players (not a huge factor in my mind btw) and broken after that. I'm still a huge fan and it's amazing that a guy as highly regarded as he is is only ranked 3rd or 4th in the system, but I need to see him healthy and productive before I get fully back on board.

It's not as if NW was lighting up the scoreboard. Of far greater concern to me was the Illini's complete inability to put the ball in the basket. Like the first half in Madison, but even worse. Rice can score, but we need shooters, and the only light at the end of that tunnel (as far as this season is concerned) is the potential development of Nunn and Hill. Well, I'm not as concerned about the shooting because they missed about 87 shots from inside of 5 feet. Most night a whole lot more of those are going in. It was definitely painful to watch though. The lack of consistent movement on the offensive end and Abrams' insistence on taking the ball to the hole or throwing up a crap 15-18 footer is much more of a concern for me.

well, at least that was rational until it got to the comma Sully.

I don't think there were that many Indiana fans there.

I remember a month or so ago there was a theory that there definitely would be a fair amount of guys who wouldn't vote for him knowing he was a lock to get in and they would use his vote on someone else they thought might have a hard time even staying on the ballot for next year, let alone get elected this year, they think is worthy. I get that line of thought, I guess. That's the only acceptable line of thinking that gets Maddux left off a ballot. I'm willing to bet that not even close to all 14 of those ballots had 10 guys voted for on them though.

None of the above. She's got a great rack and the Cat daddy video is fantastic, but there are many others out there I'd rather have my way with.
-
The only one on the entire page that "got it" was Posnanski. He's as good as any out there and I'm not surprised he came up with an intelligent commentary on it.
-
Why? I've come to really like LeBatard. I listen to his national show on the way home from work just about every day and he's intelligent and doesn't get sucked into the BS vortex that most of the rest of the sports commentary world does. I think what he did was fantastic and the response by some of the higher up at BBWAA is just comical and is making them look the the bunch of childish morons that they are.

Like I said, he's one of the Guardians of the Galaxy.....

I was glad to see them dump truck Baylor last night. I would be happy if they lost every game by 20 until Drew is fired.

Yankees Sign Masahiro Tanaka

That seems like a really, really bad assumption to make without some historical data to back it up, which I'm sure there isn't yet since it's pretty new. -
I think they may be afraid of the alternative considering how terrible they've been over the years. Plus, when you consider the level of competence of their owners, as a fan, I wouldn't be confident they'd make even close to a decent hire. Kind of like when Illinois fired Zook expecting to get something better going.
-
They're not doing their jobs at all any more. Pipe down. Fixed
-
Yeah, if you want to seed by record, eliminate divisions and just go with 2 conferences. Otherwise, what's the point of divisions and division champions? I think it gives some structure to scheduling and still guarantees a playoff spot for winning your division. You want home field? Win more games. I'd have no problem with them taking steps to avoid having the Saints have to play in Seattle or Philly or the 49ers have to play in GB or Chicago when they earned home field with a better record.
-
Well, the B10 refs have certainly disregarded the new rules enforcement stuff.
-
So apparently the old chicken wing play is legal on offense now. Interesting. Also looks like UI and Penn State aren't in danger of duplicating their record low scoring output from a few years ago anymore.

You've never heard of the college Ronald Reagan graduated from? -
Well, he's not George Takei or anything, but he went well beyond what most people, celebrity or not, would do. It probably boils down to semantics, so not really a big deal to me. Bottom line is that hopefully he helped get the law repealed and it shitty that he's getting black balled if that's what's really happening.

"Activism?" Being a decent [expletive] human being is "activism" in your book? Oh, right; it's Andry and these are the gays. Yes, what he was doing was activism. He was actively going out and promoting the idea of marriage equality as a fairly visible member of an NFL team. What you and I might do in being supportive of gay marriage laws being passed would be being a decent human being. He's just on the public stage by default; he was barely doing anything that could be called activism outside of writing some articles and answering questions in interviews. Considering his line of work and what it appears to have cost him, I'd say it was activism. He was also on quite a few radio shows campaigning for the repeal of the ban on gay marriage in Minnesota.

Yes to both It depends on whether or not they've already done that this year. The NFL limits the number of times a team can buy out their own tickets in a season.
