    I really hope the Lakers panic and give Kobe to the Bulls for something less than they realistically should. contracts, etc. it's just not that easy

    The Follow Up: Wow, she understands! Wow, just kidding.

    That might have been an option prior to A-Rod opting out of his clause (assuming an extension could be worked out), but I think it's something that would have been way too complicated. A-Rod could just elect to opt out if he didn't like the team he was going to be traded to. In other words, A-Rod controls his destination by opting out. If the Yankees did find a suitor to A-Rod's liking, how difficult would it be to work out a trade between two teams that both teams would be happy with, and could an extension be worked out that would make A-Rod happy? For example, knowing A-Rod is pretty much leaving, what would be a fair offer to guarantee you get him? And would it satisfy the Yankees enough? he had a NTC too, right? that would have further complicated things

    will Renteria adapt to the AL better this time than he did in Boston?
  5. Derwood
    he has less of a chance to win there than some other options

    did he call him chris everet? no, but he basically called anyone who was calling/emailing saying the Yankees would be better off with a team of Brosius-esque role players than with A-Rod complete morons.

    can you do a PTBNL in the NBA and send Noc after the 15th? also, do draft picks count towards matching salaries, or are they just a wildcard?
  10. Derwood
    at least they have their rooke salary system right. imagine if guys like LeBron could have held out for big contracts in training camp
  11. Derwood
    wow, Jim Rome just talked about A-Rod and I completely agreed with him. creepy
  12. Derwood
    Come now, he's way better than David Eckstein in their respective sports. Eckstein would be that guard that doesn't score a lot but "plays good defense" and does "all the things that don't show up in the stat book." Chris Duhon?
  13. Derwood
    Cowherd also said "it's not surprise that teams get better when A-Rod leaves". Amazing
  14. Derwood
    i'm guessing we ought to lock this up, eh?
  15. Derwood
    i think it would be very uncomfortable to be managed by a former team mate
  16. Derwood
    it took everything he had not to call Boras and A-Rod douchebags on the air this morning. he was livid. unbelievable amount of homerism from the guy who is supposed to be the main baseball guy at a national sports outlet

    Big Ten media writers picked Michigan St. to win the conference
  18. Derwood
    and....Colin Cowherd and Peter Gammons were just on ESPN Radio saying how A-Rod is not a winner like Dustin Pedroia. shoot me now

    yankees fans better pray for no rain delays

    remember, for Hendry, $30M per year over 8 years is actually more like 17/18/21/24/27/33/40/whatever
  21. Derwood
    I am overwhelmed with a feeling of complete and utter indifference right now
  22. Derwood
    or Japan
  23. Derwood
    well, as that desipio post said, it's more about matching salaries than talent. salaries HAVE to match for an NBA trade to go through, and you have all these limitations on Hinrich and Nocioni. it's sorta ridiculous how hard it is to make it happen

    Penn State needs to hold off Purdue on their march towards getting annihilated by a SEC team in the Alamo Bowl
  25. Derwood
    yeah, for all the complaining we do about the team right now, I always look back to when I started being a Cubs fan (circa 1992) and feel slightly better. At least we have expectations now. Clearly the only expectations in those days was to find enough players to field a team and maybe sell 15,000 seats per game
