  1. Melo to the Knicks hinges on someone named Timofey Mozgov.
  2. A win's a win, but I was hoping to see Missouri win by 25, not let Tech shoot 50 percent from the field.
  3. The Nuggets were offering 'Melo and Billups for Felton, Curry, Gallinari, another starter and a No. 1. The only player I could find that the Trade Machine would accept was Azubuike. The Knicks would gain eight wins.
  4. That's not really a good argument anyway. Barring collapses from Wainwright and Carpenter, they're still going to win 85 games and compete for the division title. And I don't see how winning the World Series this year would somehow make it less likely that he returns. When has a player ever left because of finished business? Yes they will.
  5. Aye, but at the time, it was myopic to complain about Holliday making $16 million per year because unless something big happened with the U.S. economy to deflate salaries, Holliday was going to wind up being underpaid early into the contract. When Holliday signed the deal, Pujols was still asking for around $25 million. The Howard contract blew that to pieces. Paying for the stadium seems to be the popular guess.
  6. Flags fly forever and when a team has a chance to add one of the game's best, you shouldn't care what happens. Cubs fans seem to understand this, while Cardinals fans sound like a bunch of Williston, ND natives who are demanding frugality. Some are even complaining about the Holliday contract. Again.
  7. Probably not, but unless they decide to expand payroll it's probably their only option. I suspect that their offer won't come anywhere close to $300 million for 10 years and that they've already resigned themselves to losing him. I've heard (and it might not be reliable info) that last year they hired a PR firm to estimate what the impact would be if he left.
  8. Correct, although I think any deal will contain deferred money. It's like TT said at GRB, they are in a lose-lose regardless. Lose him next year and they win 80 games. Sign him and they're in a budget crunch.
  9. Most Cardinals fans are opposed to 10 years because the team might not be good in 2015 and their understanding of inflation is on par with their understanding of how Matt Holliday was one of the most valuable players in the league last year.
  10. I've seen Akeem Ayers mocked to the Rams a few times. Does anyone know much about him?
  11. JVG really hates the Celtics.
  12. What a stupid trend. A bunch of James Murphy ball washers walking around Williamsburg wearing jerseys of players they don't even know.
  13. Are you over the age of 12? If so, my advice is to not wear a basketball jersey anywhere. Tell that to the hipsters who started wearing 90s basketball jerseys.
  14. The Trade Machine likes it and I do too. It easily tops the Bulls offer.
  15. If the NFL plans on taking more revenue and going to an 18-game schedule, then they have to let teams expand their rosters, activate more players on game day and guarantee their health benefits after one season, not three. That's my plan anyway, mostly stolen from Howie Long.
  16. That's some enlightening information about Knox and Cutler.
  17. They should create a special shot clock for Wisconsin. Meanwhile UNC is leading Duke 43-29 at the half. It took G-Town and Syracuse 30 minutes to get to 43.
  18. I concur with Gabe DeArmond, who said there's no team in the country that would've beat Kansas last night. That was a devastating second half. As much as I hate them, that's just a great team. If Missouri had played like that in Stillwater, they win by 15.
  19. I can't help but think the Tigers will be better without Kim English.
  20. It's really sad that two dopey white kids who will be riding tractors this time next season are such killers.
  21. Bowers made up for that sloppy pass with a terrific spin move.
  22. It's been floated that the Cardinals use a good chunk of their revenue to pay down stadium debt.
  23. oh my, what a clever lampooning of delusional Packers fans, you're really showing them! That was SSR's line. Take it up with him.
  24. I wouldn't use the Nationals as an example of what 29 other teams will do. I have no doubt about the AAV approximating $30 million. But paying Pujols $30 million when he's 42 is going to be a tough pill for any team to swallow, especially with the plantar fasciitis.
  25. Well I think they actually went 15-1 this season, so probably 16-0.
