    That sucks. Maybe we'll get Canada while their still playing mediocre

    I was not expecting the rules to be like that in the Olympics. I was hoping Kane would get a shot but instead Oshie kept going (and did well no complaints) I also hate the idea of a shoot out in the prelims. What ever happened to 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie. Ties are perfectly acceptable in hockey, I don't know why we try so hard to eliminate them. At least in the Olympics they are smart enough to make every game worth the same number of points, since they insist on adding OT and SOs

    Yeah he was going at full speed. That sucks

    Typical Hawks in SO situations :(

    Posted this on RealGM to get a reaction: The following teams were willing to "eat" at least $12.8 million to make their teams better: MIL - Gooden 13.4 (2 yr) MIA - Miller 12.8 (2 yr) CHA - Thomas 18.1 (2 yr) PHI - Brand 18.0 DAL - Haywood 27.0 (3 yr) HOU - Scola 19.6 (2 yr) PHO - Childress 21.0 (3 yr) WAS - Blatche 23.0 (3 yr) ORL - Arenas 62.0 (3 yr) NYK - Billups 14.2 CLE - Davis 28.0 (2 yr) BRK - Outlaw 28.0 (4 yr) POR - Roy 63.0 (4 yr) For the record, Boozer makes 16.8 mil next year

    I guess I'll repost the other game from that 03 Yankees series that was posted in that thread, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP3lEdp8Csw Yeah that was a great video, I spent hours watching it. There's lots of little clips and parts of games in addition to the full games on there.

    So the investigation report is out and Incognito is the bad guy again.

    2 of those teams aren't really very good and the other one was injured when they played them? I don't even care. There are 5 ranked Big Ten teams including UM, UM has played 5 games against the other 4 teams, only 1 of those games at home, and they are 4-1. I'm happy even if the Big Ten isnt as great as expected

    How the heck did Michigan win in Madison, East Lansing and Columbus in the same year?

    Never liked him.

    Whats the upside for the Knicks? Snell and Butler are nice pieces, but having Boozer on the books next year means they probably can't add a star for at least another year. Felton has been absolutely terrible this year and is making close to $4 m each of the next two years. Shumpert has been mediocre to poor (I think) this year and is making 4.3 mil split over the next 2 seasons. Melo can still opt out after this season (unless the trade is predicated on Melo resigning). I just don't see the upside here for either team. Ok fine there's an upside to getting Melo, but if you believe Melo would sign with the Bulls, get him in the offseason, don't let him come here in a lame duck season (without Rose/Deng) and let him get a taste of Thibs (I guess you could spin this as a potential positive too) before becoming a FA. Sign and trade in the offseason.

    Jason Collins was a marginal NBA player that you could argue would have found a job in the NBA this year but you can't conclusively say his coming out had to do with him not getting a job. As a mid round projection it would be hard to pretend coming out wasn't a factor if he just slipped out of the draft.

    Yogi Farrell (7-8) and Devyn Marble (6-9) are a combined 13-17 from 3 against Michigan over the last week

    Michael Bennett was on Carm and Jurko today. Despite all the reports about him being 100% back to Seattle, he seemed to be very indirect when asked about his FA. He kept saying its a business and that he'd love to play with his brother.

    Only your political groups

    THANK GOD WE GOT THIS THREAD BACK

    ARod drops all his lawsuits http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/10420424/alex-rodriguez-new-york-yankees-withdraws-lawsuit-overturn-suspension Not sure if that will save him in the eyes of MLBPA

    I hate the comments. All Red Sox fans do is bash Theo. Why do you even look at comments? Because I wanted to see what Red Sox fans said about Theo after he gave an interview that was very complimentary of the present day team and the work of the FO that replaced him.

    Awesome idea, lets get it done Ted Phillips

    So much funny here. First of all the poster asks for BA/HR/RBI for his projections. This isn't 1988 but whatever. The top upvoted poster has Olt hitting 25 HR this year, Lake hitting 22, Logan Watkins being the starting 2B, Wellington with 16. Then the first comment on his post says "this sounds the most realistic"

    http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-insider/2014/02/scout-ranks-cubs-top-25-prospects/ Interesting read. To preview, about Baez:

    8 years later: -Well run? Meh, to some degree -Solid plan in place? Maybe -Intelligent GM? Different GM now, might be intelligent but certainly doesn't connect well with coaching staff/players -Intelligent coach? Different coach now, this coach is better than Skiles -Good system to develop young players? Still applies, but now we're talking about mid-to-late round guys instead of lottery picks
