    Well the NFL is accomplishing what they want with the NFL network and cable broadcasters who dont support that network. Im pissed. Pissed! I told my wife to go shopping tonight and take as long as she wants because i thought some football was on. Im chilling, drinking some budweiser beer, listenen to some music....waiting for some football and well....NO FOOTBALL! WTF. What am i going to do with this half drunk, lonely buzz now? SOB!

    I dont like I2 at DT all that much. I think we are going to have to see what this Garay guy does. Brown at DT is too undersized. That seems like the best idea movin him there and Anderson at DE but im not all crazy about Brown at DT. 3rd and long ok, im ok for a test. Is it me or does it seem Boone just cant handle 50 snaps. He slows down hardcore. Could be just my perception. There was a lot of talk that i read going into this year that Ian was underappectiated and very techical in his run support. That was good depth with Tank. Tank made his way in this lineup because he blows plays up better. Losing Tank sucks crap after losing Tommie.

    I'd rather spend the money on Briggs. Briggs is going to get franchised. If they dont the Bears are waaay to nice. Bryan Robinson? He sucks but thats all i can think of right now. He might be playin i dunno.

    Anybody know anything about this club? Whats it like? 8 minutes and the dude is dead? Thats a short period of time to piss somebody off to get shot if you didnt know them. I wonder if he (Posie) knew the assaulant. From what i remember he had a wife and child, thats too bad.

    Jeez. Shouldnt have been shooting them outside their home. Take it to the range man.

    I cant believe they would get a warrant to search his homes just for some unlawful guns or shooting it in his back yard. Its about the dope. Was his buddy a dealer and dealing.

    I was just wondering about this :) It would be neat because we have people from all around the country. Thats a reason i enjoy the CFB discussion here because it can be about many different teams. I go do it now.

    What the Hell? Police dont get warrants to search homes just for drugs. Is he growing pot in his house?! A Methlab? That would be nuts. Dude was playing really good and now this. :x They definetly need to sign someone now.

    Well in the last month he did have a shift in the right direction when it comes to discipline and walks. Maybe he can carry that forward. He's got great bat speed no doubt. If he can somehow stop swinging at the inside sliders so much and better recognize those he wont get himself out as much. He probably won't hit for higher average but his OBP will definetly improve. He's not to old to see pitches better, he's got the talent. Some guys dont have the talent to get better as they age, JJ does. Not saying he will but he at least has the foundation. Id really like to see what he can do next year if they let him play CF.

    figuring in the total cost makes it 17 mil a year, for an unproven commodity. That's too much to pay IMO. I mean, 17 mil makes him the highest paid pitcher in baseball, I think. Mats is not likely to see any of that 51 million dollar posting fee. They paid the 51 million simply to negociate the contract. You can argue the posting fee was ridiculous, but the contract itself will probably turn out to be a bargin, barring injury. The contract isn't a bargain if you factor in the negotiating fee. Sure, Mats personally is only going to get 8.7 a year, but the Red Sox are basically paying 17m a year, if you factor it that way. Or $33M+ a year for the first 2 years. Really thats what they did. They bought out the 2 years before he hit the free agency market. Yeah, either way you look at its a ton of $.

    Is Ginn going to go pro? Are people saying he is gone? I sure would like it if he took Gonzalez with him to the NFL. I think Gonzalez is a better pro prospect than Ginn is. Ginn is so freaking thin. I guess he could be as good as Santana Moss though. Im not sure if Millen has the balls to draft Quinn, dude needs results faster than Hendry does. The Lions backup Qb has more catches than Mike Williams. Maybe they will draft CJ. Ha. Ive seen projections that the Browns might take DT Alan Branch if he comes out. Its sweet with the local radio around here not really talking about the lions next game but what are they going to do in the draft. :twisted:

    From ESPN.com this morning... The sides apparently are $3 million-per-year apart. Sources have told the Boston Herald that the Red Sox's latest offer to the pitcher is six years for $8 million a year. Matsuzaka's camp, according to the Herald, has counter-offered with an $11 million request for six years. As Boston general manager Theo Epstein left Boras' office late Tuesday night, he said it's "up to Matsuzaka" whether there would be further talks. Boras later states its up to Mats as well. So it looks like this is Boston's final offer and we are at the take it or leave it point. Stay tuned.

    Ok i found this quote very funny considering all the conversation on this board...Shall we start another Dunn Thread? Gary Hughes (Reds 2001): It's' tough to get that determination. You make a great point about them. It is hard when you only see a guy play one time, whether he has good plate discipline. But we love guys like Kearns and Dunn who have that discipline. On base percentage has been a stat people are paying more and more attention to. I meant to mention Cliff Floyd as well, as far as my best draft picks go.

    What the hell has happened to denver. down 21-3 early. San Diego may just be the best team in the league. Indy looked absolutely awful on defense today. They have some serious issues. Denver may not even end up making the playoffs. Talk about falling on your face.
  23. cubweiser03
    It's not that simple, though. Boston is offering 40 million in guaranteed cash. If Matsuzaka goes back to Japan and hurts himself, what would he be able to get? Drunk on Sake? Yes guaranteed cash does have value especially for a pitcher. Im sure if he wanted he could get a 6 year deal in Japan too, not sure how much though. No where near $40 or $48M boston would give him though. Its an interesting situation. Also i wonder how much $ the yankees are offering that Iguama guy they posted $20M for.
  24. cubweiser03
    THe lions are getting their asses kicked already. down 21-0 against the vikes.
  25. cubweiser03
    The only thing Boston is offering Mats financially that him staying in Japan is 2 years of MLB salary that he otherwise wouldnt have right now. Lets say Mats makes $5M in the next 2 years in Japan, under what we are learning is Boston is offering him those 2 years at say $15M. So $10M benefit is what they are really offering him compared to his current situation. The shorter the contract he signs the better it is for Mats and the easier it is for him to make up this $10M on the open market. Right now on the open market he is worth way more than $7M-$8M. A 4 year $32M contract might make sense for him. 6 years i dont think is in his favor. If Boston would do a $7M-$8M for 4 years thats $80 million for 4 years. If Boston didnt up the years 6 and 7 to at least $12M or $13M id tell em to go to hell. This market is freaking crazy, getting locked in to a $8M contract for 6 years would be nuts.
