Funny how the Pittsburgh drug trials happened a little over 20 years ago and incredibly few people have said anything about them during this whole steroid pandemonium.

On the bright side, now Bonds has something else in common with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron!
-
Maybe he'll be like Jimi Hendrix, where he'll drop over and toxicology exams will show that he was on every single illegal drug out there, from PCP to Dimethyltryptamine.

Whew. That game got way too close at the end.

Greg Oden's slowly perfecting his own version of the Tim Duncan Surly Face. Dick Vitale needs to be muzzled.

Not necessarily. This happens a lot with top draft picks. They negotiate in an invite to spring training the following year. Huh, no kidding. Never knew that. Thanks! Also, I predict Colvin ends next season in Daytona.

Colvin's getting fast-tracked.

Go Badgers!

This is what's known as being an attention whore. Nicely done, jackass.

You have the choice of any one player

Yes they might. What can you do? Go to the game and hope for a different outcome. :D

As the most powerful man in the country has shown us, nepotism can work wonders.

The only way the Colts could play better is if Manning didn't throw 3 picks. That was their only flaw today. Their WRs had a few stupid drops. The Chiefs were also really stupid for not passing when the Colts basically stacked their entire team in the box. Both teams were poorly coached, to boot. There's a reason why Tony Dungy has one road win in the playoffs in his career.

There's something I've wondered about for those of you in the know. A lot of times, in evaluating potential draft picks, there are a number of concerns for certain players coming out because people wonder how well they will be able to transition from metal bats to wood bats. Some draft picks flop and various people will blame the fact that these picks did not handle the transition from wood to metal. Now, I've never played high school or college baseball. I've handled both kinds of bats and I know the differences between them. However, I've always wondered whether there is something to that transition that can hold back otherwise talented baseball players or if instead scouts and other people focus too much on it. Have there been studies done on the matter? What do you guys think?

Didn't some psychopathic writer claim that Minky was such a great defensive first baseman that he could also play...SECOND BASE?!?!!?!!!!

What has two thumbs and a ticket to next weekend's Bears playoff game? *Points to self* THIS GUY!

tHom Brennaman had a HUGE gaffe during yesterday's game. Barry Alvarez: These guys are down on the field pounding each other out there! I love it!! tHom: Barry and Chris (I think it was Chris?) are enjoying this hard hitting so much that they're BANGING each other right up here in the booth!

MSNBC wunderkind Mike Celzic (aka Hatguy) also gets a vote.
-
Sounds like he's totally ready for the NFL. Well, yeah. I suppose so. I just don't prefer the "I'm bigger than the game itself" attitude. He IS Keyshawn's protégé.
-
Crazy, crazy, crazy game. I loved it!!! :D Definitely one of the greatest games ever. Wow.

Santana got a four year extension back before the 2005 season. He won't be a FA for another two years at the minimum. I could understand if he were going to be a FA next offseason or something...but his deal is incredibly cheap for his production (his extension was 4/40) and he's entering his prime years. I don't think the Yankees have the ammunition to get him, even if the deal was Hughes/Tabata/Sanchez. It'd take some unholy combination of prospects and young players that I think maybe a select few teams have to pry Santana away from the Twins.
-
Didn't Drew take all year to sign, almost to the next draft? This seems about par for the course. It took Weaver and Drew until the day before the next draft to sign. However, other Boras clients are already signed at this point (Hochevar, Kennedy) and he's been much more amenable to getting guys signed lately (save for the whole Hochevar debacle).
-
I just saw that he still hasn't signed with the Diamondbacks yet. He's still the only unsigned player from the first round as of now. I know Boras is his agent, but that hasn't stopped the Diamondbacks from signing his guys before (Stephen Drew). Does anyone know what the deal is?
