is there an announcing gig open in minnesota? they really appreciate guys who hustle and bunt and are terrible at baseball.
-
i sure hope brenly and the rest of the meatheads enjoy watching aramis' replacement really hustle out groundballs next season while he's hitting .230. it's amazing to me how some people can hold jobs in baseball for decades and decades.

don't ruin erik's fun. he is this close to cracking the case.

failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

mark wahlberg prolly murdered that DA.

I hate to defend these guys if it turns out they had any prior knowledge, but I think of a board of directors for a charity loaded with celebrities like that as pretty damn hands off. (pardon the phrase) I can't imagine Cal Ripken was doing much more than making an appearance or 2 per year and giving the occassional donation. I don't know why you'd think that given what we've found out in the past few days. Nothing would surprise me at this point. i'm going to go ahead and say it would surprise me if cal [expletive] ripken was involved in pimping out kids to rich donors. I'll admit, that one could knock me over. I'd be very surprised if any of those major names on the board were invovled beyond what someone upthread said: writing a few checks a year and appearing at some fundraisers. I very much doubt that any of them were involved in day-to-day stuff. But with as crazy as this story keeps getting, I guess you have to brace for news like that. no you don't.

if the DA was on to the pimping thing, you think he would be the only one in the office that knew about it? and that killing him would put an end to the investigation? It depends on exactly what the DA knew. I don't know how a DA'a office works, but could it be possible that at the time he either had damning evidence to bring about charges, or was dangerously close to obtaining them? Perhaps killing him before he was able to reveal/uncover the info was enough to keep them safe as nobody else has been able to get the proof? I'm just completely spitballing here and am not at all saying that's what happened. you watch too much tv.

didn't he decide not to prosecute sandusky in 1998? and he disappeared in 2005. I believe there were allegations in 2004 as well. And....after two eyewitness accounts of graphic abuse of multiple children, how do you not prosecute? i just find it very hard to believe penn state arranged for the murder of a DA in order to protect a retired coach/molester. i think it's much more likely that it's a coincidence. Penn State, no. But if Sandusky had contact with rich donors through Second Mile one of them could have fronted the money to have the guy offed to protect everyone's ass in this. if the DA was on to the pimping thing, you think he would be the only one in the office that knew about it? and that killing him would put an end to the investigation?

man, how in the world has sandusky not committed suicide yet?
-
um, that's not how it worked out. you forgot the small matter of five months of roy halladay.
-
seriously though, i'm kinda in shock (though not really) that nobody else thinks there is a problem with trades like this. tim got halladay for free and won the championship with him. he essentially borrowed halladay for five months and nobody thinks this is kinda ridiculous?
-
lol, tim paid a steep price to have halladay for a season.

i SPECIFICALLY argued for this at the time of the contract. dumb ol' hendry. -
oh, and notre dame should be in it too.
-
ugh, those two teams are in the top 10? just cancel the rest of the season and let stanford/okie st/alabama/lsu play a final 4.
-
um how is that not a hold.
-
college football makes no sense.

amazing how terrible TT is. how did oklahoma not beat them by 100?
-
does it make you feel better or worse to know that TT is losing 31-7 at home to iowa state and a redshirt freshman qb making his first career start?
-
fumbled on the TT 1 yd line or it could be 28-0.
-
wow, iowa sucks. geez.
