    He did have a .636 winning percentage last year.

    The same way you start any conversation involving contract negotiations? This isn't going back to your wife after trying but failing to hook up with a supermodel. It's not awkward or panicking or anything weird at all.

    Nobody was talking about 1% of the total valuation. The only thing mentioned was profits. A lot of media outlets were saying "1% of the Longhorn Network". To me, that doesn't imply 1% of profits; it implies an equity stake. The media in general, and the sports media in particular, is horrible when it comes to specific language related to business issues. I would have to imagine it would be a profit-sharing situation, as an actual equity stake in a television network is an entirely different beast.

    How is 3-2 suddenly, "oh yeah you can't mess with that winning streak"?

    I think that is crazy talk.

    That's some interesting logic, Joel. FWIW, Loxas is claiming the meeting is not about an extension. What do you mean interesting logic? If Cubs are meeting with Samardzija's people, what else would it be about besides an extension talk, and if they are talking extension, why wouldn't that suggest they aren't hearing what they want on trade market. I mean, I guess they could just be having a courtesy meeting to let his people know what sort of destination may be in his future, that seems less likely to me. Maybe they'd rather sign him and want to take one last crack at it before they trade him. Maybe, though I don't see how it is more of a logical conclusion than what Joel Sherman wrote. Even if you assume their preference is to sign him, that pretty much means it is because what they have seen on the trade market isn't as enticing as they would want to trade him.

    That settles it.

    I don't think it is at all realistic to suggest somebody withhold their opinion about these rumors and just stick to discussing the "facts" of the rumors themselves. The fact is the Cubs are doing a horrible job fielding a competitive major league baseball team and have been doing so for many years. That fact will hang over any move they make, or any move they are rumored to be considering.

    No...just a good poster from PSD who happened to give his thoughts on Lake over there the same day NY asked here. And NY thinks he's a jack ass because he doesn't have a high opinion of Lake. Lake was 23 last season. According to people who know a lot more than I do he has tremendous ability. His career is just getting started. He more than held his own during his brief time with the Cubs, even with his bad approach. I like sneakypower's assessment a couple of pages back. Lake may turn out to be terrible or he may not, but definitive statements at this point in time are jack ass comments. I don't give a [expletive] what type of poster he is. http://nbcsports700level.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/6a00d83451af4b69e20133f30771b7970b-800wi.png

    It would not redefine college athletics.

    Yeah, that's not what Theo said. It sucks that they're not, but that's not what he said. What a [expletive] hack. Actually, the quote is exact. Theo did say the words "dictating all those big moves" in that exact order. Of course, Gordon also knows that he was referring to the future because Theo preceded that quote with the words "there will be a day real soon". Wittenmyer is either a [expletive] hack and a moron or an intentional dick. Possibly both... Or maybe he took the "real soon" part as truthful.

    No. How about tag and trade Cutler for Tennessee ' first rounder? I could be persuaded

    Every NFL city would be reacting the exact same way under the exact same circumstances.

    While something like that is seemingly written as image control for Kane, it's actually a really good piece of marketing for the people in charge of making sure Toews isn't seen as too much of a robot to be a good product pusher.

    You aren't taking into account the gain of willingness to hit the opposing batter with pitches.

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU My wife got me tickets.

    The buyout is guaranteed, so it's either 2/62.5 or 3/77.5, just as he wrote.

    The bowl sheet isn't quite big enough to include Illinois this year. The sheet bowl?
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I doubt he's ready to stick his neck out there like that.

    Jeff Samardzija and Jorge Soler for Lee, Hamels and Dom Brown. Cubs take on all of the salary. Who says no first? Joe Ricketts.
