  1. Holy horsefeathers! They're sorta trying the basketball version of the College of Coaches!
  2. [tweet] [/tweet]
  3. Didn't we decide that Loxas was a questionable source? So far the optimistic reports are from Plesac (not based on actual news just speculation), Dicaro, Charles the Cat and Tom Loxas. The pessimistic reports are from everyone else. Well than it is even weirder to be upset about it then. I think it's weird to think that the Cubs have to scramble to make it work to "fit" Bryce Harper in to their self-imposed budget....WHEN HE SUPPOSEDLY WANTS TO PLAY FOR THEM...is good news.
  4. "Guys, I'm a once in a generation signing and I want to play for your team!" "Ooooooh, ouch; don't know if we can fit you in between the Guy Fieri Chug 'n' Chow hotel & casino, and the kickbacks to the Proud Boys. We'll get back to you!"
  5. That just makes me even more furious.
  6. Somewhat surprisingly, it likely isn't (according to FG). In terms of projected value or their projection for contract for him? How much they claim he was worth $$$$-wise the last couple of seasons.
  7. Somewhat surprisingly, it likely isn't (according to FG).
  8. Plus it's been such a vital position on all teams now for so long. At this point it's kinda like someone deciding they don't like seeing LFers in the Hall since that's where you dump OFers who can't really field.
  9. I never understand this.
  10. He’s looking for that casino from Vegas Vacation The Ricketts' MO:
  11. How much of a kiss-ass to the rich do you have to be to believe that a $600 million real estate development investment was some kind of altruism. They didn't choose not to use public money. They begged for it and didn't get it, and instead they used their own money *because they knew they would turn a profit on the development*. Yuuuuuuuuuuuup.
  12. There's not a terrible coach, abusive player, or scumbag billionaire that this guy won't side with.
  13. Why don't they just make the whole outlet out of profit?
  14. They're making money off of the team. horsefeathers their profit margin. When it costs so damn much to go to the games and the entire area is essentially being turned into a bro and yuppie Disney World for alcoholics, they better pay out when opportunities like this come along.
  15. A) Celebrity net worth is dumb B) Tom accounts for maybe 1/5 of the ownership group that is the entire family. C) The team can easily afford to pay Harper. Yeah, the family net worth is, I think, something like $5 billion. They are scum.
  16. And horsefeathers them even if it does happen.
  17. Man, horsefeathers the Ricketts if this doesn't happen. These horsefeathering awful billionaires are a loathsome necessary evil in pro sports to begin with; their one "job" should be to spend what it takes to win, especially when someone like this rolls around. It's not like they'd be pissing money away; they'd just be making less of it. horsefeathers them, and horsefeathers their dumb ass hotels and horsefeathers and whatever the horsefeathers else fucked this up and made their pickled little dicks shrivel up even more at thought of being slightly less hideously wealthy if they signed Harper or Machado.
  18. Oh, how nice of them.
  19. He won't be able to get out from under the thumb of BIG OKLAHOMA NEWSPAPER.
  20. From excessive capitalization to no capitalization.
  21. To be fair, imb also likely has a pretty great stockpile of jerkoff stories.
  22. I'm just saying, if it was something more serious beyond, say, the guy was in a car accident and is doped to the gills on painkillers (which is still incredibly serious), I just don't see them putting out something with the tone of the announcement, or waiting 5 days to do so. Who knows; maybe his wife is refusing to give him internet access because he's a giant boy with two cartoonishly broken legs that need to heal and she can.
  23. I thinking/hoping it's more that he's their most high profile writer, he has a bunch of stuff coming out now that people expressly come to the site for, so it's something they had to make a statement over because people were going to be wondering where he was.
  24. That's your FIRST thought? I've read A LOT of Drew Magary's stuff. Good point; nobody likes a lonely hotel jerk more than Drew. Also don't know why I thought I was replying to 17 Seconds.
  25. That's your FIRST thought? Damn. dexter likes to get down.
