    Jerry prided himself in picking up decent players late in the draft. We all know he has been terrible in the early rounds, and it seems that he isn't good in the late rounds either.
  2. Wilson A2000
    That's a good move and it will work out for everyone. Kovalchuck's contract did circumvent the salary cap, but the rules allowed it at the time.

    He is turning into A.J. Pierzinski. Before the fight he did a bunch of little things that made people hate him. Now people are out to get him excessively (the second time the Marlins threw at him).

    Agreed. High school baseball or amateur baseball fine. But when you are in the major leagues, you should be able to steal all you want down 10 in the 4th inning.

    Correction: Luongo and Marian's contracts wouldn't be voided, but their cap hits and overall salary would be modified.

    The NY Post is reporting that the NHL could grandfather in Luongo and Hoss's contracts under the new rules and void them. What a stupid idea! If you let the contracts slide at first, how can you go back on that? What a screwed up league.

    What has gotten into Morgan lately? He has acquired quite a rap sheet the last few days. Throwing behind Morgan after lready plunking him in response to Morgan stealing a few bags in a blowout game (Morgan was on the losing team) was a little over the top, but it did feel good to see Morgan get absolutely closelined. Chapman threw 104 tonight. Wow. I can't think of a faster pitch I've seen.

    When does the College Game Day Live schedule come out?

    Noah has a odd looking putting stroke. But this is not surprising. http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/11/2010/09/500x_noah.jpg

    I would like to keep him to play him next year with a more west coast style offense.
  12. Wilson A2000
    I would have liked to have seen Olsen for one more year in a west coast system before trading him. I just don't want to get rid of Olsen because he doesn't fit Martz's system when Martz and his system are more than likely going to be gone next year. There is no way on earth they get a second rounder for him.
  13. Wilson A2000
    I think there was Ozzie's supposed reason for their DH plan and Kenny's reason. Both think it was their idea. Until it kinda failed.
  14. Wilson A2000
    Another interesting thing about the Manny deal is that they spent more on him for a month ($4 million) than Thome's entire contract this year. Thome is having a solid year - far better than the Sox's compilation of underperforming DHs. I am not sure if they didn't get Thome because of money issues, or because Ozzie doesn't like station to station players. Either way, I am pretty sure the Sox are a couple of games better in the standings with Thome.

    Manny told Ozzie that he is ready to play...just not ready to start today. He was too tired from getting up at 4:30 AM and he needed some rest (wasn't he resting the last few days?). $133,000 for sitting on the bench is nice work if you can get it. Manny also pulled a Sammy and conveniently forgot how to speak English at his press conference. Joey Cora acted as interpreter.

    I am not sure if Suh is trying to tell the NFL that he is a bad boy, but that was way over the line. There are plenty of times that you can demolish a QB in the NFL, so just do it legally. I think he should be hit with a huge fine.
  17. Wilson A2000
    Unfortunately the first 4-5 games are arguably the toughest part of the Bears schedule. The last quarter looks impossibly difficult: home New England, at Minnesota, home NY Jets, at Green Bay.
  18. Wilson A2000
    I didn't watch much, but it did look like a couple receivers were confused out there in addition to Cutler having happy feet. Very possible...that's something that's hard for us to see watching on TV. Fox said something on the Saturday broadcast on how they were using wide-screen cameras in addition to the widescreen HD format. I guess you can see the safeties line up now a little better. The whole defense is now in view.

    Then it really isn't a good life philosophy if it only applies to a fraction of the population. That's on top of the fact that anyone who bones everything that moves is a despicable human being.
  20. Wilson A2000
    Pretty much just a good philosophy to have in life. Look how well it worked for Tiger. Oh wait... He's a billionaire with a ton of athletic success. Looks like it turned out okay to me. Boning everything that moves didn't get him where he is. Now he lost hundreds of millions, lost his wife, won't see his kids as much, and his golf game has tanked. He might not break Jack's major record and he has alienated many of his fans. His boning philosophy is destroying his life. It might have fueled his golf or acted as an escape for a time, but it really came back to bite him.

    A bad second string QB. But what a strip! That was a vicious strip.

    The Packers are going to drop a hundred on this team
  24. Wilson A2000
    This is a 5-11 team if they play like this. Remember the days when the special teams were explosive? I want that Hester back.

    That site is going to save me a ton of money in Atlanta. I don't have to go to a sport's bar to watch the games now. If only there was an HD feed.
