    So, I guess Peter King got his own "Grantland" style site? http://mmqb.si.com/

    NFL Network was really trying to get him, but Urlacher will join Fox Sports 1.

    This doesn't happen every season... Yeah...they've done it before, but certainly not "always". I do remember Teddy Greenstein switching beats a few times....wasn't he on the Cubs beat at one point?

    Generally, I agree with you. Though I do think that they should put clauses in future contracts that give teams the options to terminate contracts as the result of certain types of PED rule violations. Thought I'm sure that's somehow a problem with the current CBA.

    Waddle and Silvy feel betrayed Apparently Mannelly and Zaidman are gonna do the show on a weekly basis, and Cutler was just the guest this week. I still much prefer Cutler on Waddle and Silvy, but I don't think it's been officially announced that he's gonna do it. And the last time they talked to him, he specifically mentioned he hadn't agreed to it yet.

    Considering how much money the Cubs included in the deal, and the benefit received to the Yankees by structuring it so they stay under the luxury tax, I'm disappointed by this return. The Cubs received a low level prospect for Soriano (who is having a good year and will contribute to the Yankees), $18M, plus saving additional money by staying under the luxury tax. Yes, the $24M was a sunk cost from the Cubs perspective, but the Yankees received a significant benefit through this deal. Honestly, the Yankees benefit is not really my concern. Were the Cubs going to get more from somewhere else? If not, we did well. Like you said, Soriano was a sunk cost and really had little benefit in the long run for the Cubs. Theo/Jed had to have two goals. Maximize the return (which they theoretically did) and clear room for young outfield talent, which is also accomplished. Not really much to be disappointed about, imo.

    I hate that the glove throwing gif only exists in like 8 pixels by 8 pixels format.

    Statement from Rep1 client Ryan Swope: “As a result of a concussion I suffered during OTAs, I was advised by doctors that there were serious risks in returning to play football at this point. It has been a lifelong dream to play in the NFL but my long-term term health interests outweigh my current goals for football. Because of that, I am electing to retire from the game for now and then reassess my future after this season. In the meantime, I plan to return to Texas A&M to pursue my degree. I want to thank the Arizona Cardinals organization for the opportunity and their support. I wish the team much success this season."

    So at this point, it's just clearing space for young guys to play I guess.

    but old style said he only had two concussions and was going to be fine Ahhh yeah, I remember that conversation now.

    Wow. Ryan Swope to the reserved/retired list due to concussions. Lots here were clamoring for him, right? Article about him missing offseason activities, but him being on the reserve/retired list is all over twitter right now: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000213950/article/ryan-swopes-medicalrelated-absence-surprised-cards

    @ESPNChiBears McClellin acknowledged that some of the veteran players might still be in the process of buying into Marc Trestman's way of doing things.
  25. Banedon
    Yeah, but Matt Abbatacola did tweet that the spin is that he just mis-used the phrase "bought in". He simply meant that not everyone was completely familiar with the playbook yet, which is more understandable.
