    They don't have a better replay angle? Would it kill Fox to show it again, at the very least?

    This is the first stress-free game the Bears have played in awhile. It's a nice change of pace. Fumble? Wha?

    He'd be worth a flyer, but I wouldn't expect much out of him. The guy hasn't gone over 100 innings since 2004. If he could be a relief option, though...maybe.

    What do you mean, You people? What do YOU mean, "you people?" Kirk Lazarus: Everybody knows you never go full [expletive]. Tugg Speedman: What do you mean? Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look [expletive], act [expletive], not [expletive]. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not [expletive]. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. [expletive], maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't [expletive]. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. [expletive], no. You went full [expletive], man. Never go full [expletive]. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full [expletive], went home empty handed...

    Vinny Del Negro looks like a lost child at the mall.

    Considering he's not clamoring to get out of Canada, it'll take more to get him than it would to get Peavy. We'd have to make this like a five team deal.

    http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/111808dnbuscuban.1c00744a4.html They're going for the political attack angle. If I'm Cuban I pay the fine and move on with my life. It looks like a pretty clear case of adventitious inside information being used here. I sounds like Cuban sunk a bunch of money in this internet venture and then when they came back asking for more and using the method they did he tried to wash his hands of the entire business. The problem is it is not fair to all the other investors. He's airing his dirty laundry and building up public sympathy. I have my doubts that he'll let this drag out, but we'll see where he goes with it.

    Backloading is way smarter than frontloading. Explain Essentially, it's much better for the team to be able to pay a 5 year $50 contract with payments of $1m, $1m, $1m, $1m, $46m than 10/10/10/10/10. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money http://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/timevalueofmoney.asp The problem comes up when a team does this irresponsibly, and/or when ownership is changing. Arizona through out a bunch of backloaded deals that won them a World Series, but nearly bankrupted the team. AZ was engaged in entirely different shenanigans involving deferred payments, which are different from backloaded contracts. Link

    This topic is already being discussed here.

    First season since 2002 as a full-time starter.
  13. Outshined_One
    Not a great deal, but I'm okay with it.
  14. Outshined_One
    I'm not seeing anything about this anywhere, be it Red Sox or Athletics boards. I'm calling shenanigans.
  15. Outshined_One
    Link: The Red Sox, Yankees, and Tigers apparently all have interest in her. Should be fun to see how she does.

    There's not much of a desired effect to be had here. It's not like he was all set to buy the Cubs and then this suddenly dropped, you know?
  17. Outshined_One
    We already have a Peavy thread.
  18. Outshined_One
    He'll negotiate a settlement, pay a fine, have a few restrictions put on his trading activities, and admit no wrongdoing.
  19. Outshined_One
    He was taken out voluntarily.
  20. Outshined_One
    3 yard pass!
  21. Outshined_One
    I want that Grossman slo-mo warmup in animated gif form.
  22. Outshined_One
    Did anyone just see that?
  23. Outshined_One
    Don't tempt me.
  24. Outshined_One
    ...wow.
  25. Outshined_One
    Flagging the QB for tripping is rather unusual.
