  1. It's more likely that some stupid team will give McCown guaranteed money
  2. McCown's (relative) success makes me hate Caleb Hanie even more
  3. That Philly game is amazing. A foot of snow on the field? Insane
  4. I can't believe they didn't do their typical 2nd half (of the season) collapse
  5. Gus Johnson just said the truest thing ever
  6. OSU's defense has been garbage all year. They're going to save themselves the embarrassment of FSU dropping 60 on them
  7. So current bowl picture: NC: FSU vs. ______ Rose: Stanford vs. MSU Fiesta: Baylor vs. _________ Sugar: Orange: Central Florida is in Auburn is in
  8. That's not really SEC bias. Auburn would have the best (Bama), 3rd-best (Missouri), 4th-best (A&M) and 5th-best (Georgia) wins out of the two of them. MSU's best win before today was Iowa. Are Georgia and A&M really as good as their ranking at the time Auburn beat them? The Mizzou win is probably the tie-breaker, as outside of that, both teams would have a win against an undefeated team, plus two wins against (eventual) 8-4 conference teams Neither of them are as good as their ranking at the time, but both are better than Iowa or Nebraska or Minnesota (at least, pre-Murray-injury Georgia was). better statistically, better "eye test", or better because the assumption is that an 8-4 SEC team is always better than an 8-4 B1G team?

  10. SEC bias: 1-loss Auburn considered for title game if OSU loses, but 1-loss MSU would not even be on the radar if they beat OSU.
  11. Seriously, stop rooting for outcomes that mean the SEC is back in the title game. Shame on you all
  12. That vaunted SEC defense
  13. Which of the 2013 Yankees outfielders are free agents? They had Soriano, Gardner, Ichiro and Vernon Wells, and have added Ellsbury and Beltran
  14. Christ, I have to argue with both sides of you lunatics. What exactly was so horrific about the Soriano contract? Ask the people who bitched and moaned about it every day since it was signed
  15. It's like the Soriano contract never happened
  16. Just read through those mocks, and there seems not to be any sort of consensus. Could be very interesting this year. Of course the mocks will align more closely once we know who's declaring and how players show at pro-days/the combine
  17. I'm not worried about the Mariners. I'm worried about precedent and the setting of the market down the line. I was hoping that GM's would learn from the Pujols deal, but they have not. I'm kinda shocked that the "#poortomricketts" crowd isn't more concerned about impact bats getting ludicrous contracts
  18. yeah, but the DH is poopy and what are the chances he'll be better than a league-average DH in years 7-10 of that contract? Then again, in 2020, $24 mil/year will be the going rate for league-average
  19. the irony is that if NIU went to a BCS game, they would probably lose money on the venture, while all the shitty MAC schools would get free money
  20. So how many starting 2B last year were 35 or older? And how many of those would still be owed $120 million for years 36-41? This contract is ludicrous
  21. Hey, thanks for tiring the Wild out last night
