  1. Thanks, I assumed the former, which is both accurate and lame in a variety of levels, and did not consider the latter, which is both sad and admirable?
  2. What is this melodramatic story about David Freese withdrawing his name from consideration for the Cardinals hof?
  3. Man, it’s really tough when you can potentially complete back to back three game sweeps and still be 3 under .500. On the bright side, they can potentially put themselves in position to overtake the brewers before the all star break, if the Reds cool off.
  4. Blackhawks should try and get Timo Meier from Devils. I don’t feel he’s going to stay there long term. He could be there Hossa.
  5. He’s not practicing, so it’s obviously true. Football people are never happy with football players not playing football. Doesn’t really mean much until maybe training camp.
  6. I get that by most accounts they aren’t Waltons, but they’ve owned an NFL franchise free and clear for a hundred years. They’ve made hundreds of millions in profits every year for decades now. They aren’t flashy like Jerry, or from the world of finance like the Ricketts or Tepper. But they’re like the grandma who dies and then somehow has $2 million in assets to send on to the 4H club. You can’t make that much profit year in and year out seemingly without making a series of terribly risky business decisions without having a ton of liquid assets. they did just up and buy a huge property without blinking, and they probably could 10 more times. what they should do is have the biggest high school stadiums take turns hosting games, turn it into a reality show competition and at the end that’s how they determine the next suburban home.
  7. Apparently it’s not that hard to protect a 3-1 series lead
  8. Vegas about to win the cup?
  9. Not directly relevant to the Hawks rebuild, for those that enjoyed gazing into his eyes, Patrick Sharp will be an advisor to the Flyers this season, and not a Blackhawks part time analyst.
  10. I have to question a players desire to win if he wants to play with the cubs
  11. Should have gotten rid of Happ when they had the chance, Nico too. The only selling they will be doing is selling Ricketts on the idea that they should all keep their jobs. This front office is terrible.
  12. Currently on pace to come up well short of 71-91.
  13. It’s fine because it has no long term impact and they needed somebody to play there in the interim. But he wasn’t getting that money from anybody else. It’s also the type of contract they’ll be asked to take on, somebody with a cap hit over 4 for 2 years that you need yo upgrade from if you want to actually be a good hockey team.
  14. Pretty clear overpay here on short term. AA is not good but he is mildly productive and somebody that could be on a line with Bedard and/or Reichel although shouldn’t be a top 6 on a good team. The Blackhawks and forward Andreas Athanasiou have agreed to a two-year contract with a $4.25 million cap hit, league sources confirmed to The Athleticon Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know: Blackhawks and forward Andreas Athanasiou have agreed to a two-year contract with a $4.25 million cap hit, league sources confirmed to The Athleticon Wednesday.
  15. Can we get the option to delete somebody else’s post?
  16. Leonard Floyd is off the table as a potential signing. He’s going to the Bills
  17. A lot of the problem is so much sports media is sycophantic. The beat writers can’t help but write things line “the $100 million hitter struck out”, but everyone else in the sports media/blogosphere arena wants to have their connections to the people who make decisions. It’s nothing new, but the austerity porn of the aughts led everybody to praise cost cutting as a concept. It’s a lot like the baseline of the press presenting church goers as automatically good. Spending less is better. Paying players less is by default better than paying more. The criticism of overpaid players vastly outweighs the criticism of overpaid owners. the owner class has done a good job of melting the brains of fans, it’s not much different than other aspects of the entertainment industry.
  18. So which Dallas United player dropped the n-bomb against West Ham?
  19. It’s so depressing talking about spending floors for the bears and Blackhawks. We should be talking about ceilings and ways to finagle the cap instead of collectively bargained mandated spending levels not yet reached
  20. Cubs have accounted for 11% of all Tampa losses this season
