QUOTE(shoota @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 04:06 PM) WMVP played a clip last night of Buehrle stating he wasn't asking for Zito-like money. Buehrle also stated he's willing to take a discount to stay with the Sox. We know Buehrle rejected a 3-year deal at $31 million, and he's open to signing for less than Zito. That means he desires a contract more than $10.33 per year and less than $18 per year. IMO, until KW offers a contract between those two figures, he shouldn't be stating there's no way for him to resign Buehrle. December 5th http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...rtnered=rss_mlb Rest assured, Kenny continued negotiations with Buehrle well beyond July of '06. Buehrle wanted the negotiations kept quiet, and now that he's created the perception that the Sox have no intention of bringing him back by crying "why me" at the Sox winter media event he's trying to position himself for more money.

Don't worry, it'll grow back.

The extended episode is available online at NBC.com... I'm only a little bit trough it. Creed rules.

So last night I was flipping channels... On MSNBC, I caught about a minute of a report on Bush on the Sadam execution. The factbar read that Bush said they "fumbled" the execution. Flipped the channel to FOX News. They were discussing the same issue. Except they spent almost 5 minutes ripping apart the NYT because they said that Iraq "botched" the execution. One of the talking head sharks even went so far as to drop this quote "Most of the people on death row are liberals. Of course the NYT is going to come out against the execution. Every time somebody is put to death, they lose a reader." Well, at least they can claim that they're not just a spokestation for the White House... Fair and balanced.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 10:22 PM) Did IU really just pick up a four star recruit who de-committed from michigan? Incredible. He was sold on the fact that IU's coach only had part of his brain removed. Lloyd Carr has been missing the better part of his for going on 10 years now.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 07:37 PM) No, of course not and I was using the restroom whenever I needed to. She kept all that water in her system, that's a big difference. I have to admit though, I would never have thought that could kill you. It just seems like your bladder should give out before it got anywhere near dangerous. Clearly that's not the case. It doesn't have anything to do with going to the bathroom.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2007 -> 07:17 PM) Ok, so 1 beer is 12 ounces, so roughly 10.7 beers make a gallon. I've consumed 10 beers in one sitting plenty of times in my life. You mean to tell me that if I had been drinking water instead I'd be dead????? There's also sodium in beer. It's the lack of sodium in water that causes the body to get all out of whack.

OVER RATED...

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) Russ Ortiz could be a real good signing for the Giants. Last year was just too unexpected and too much of a drop off from his career numbers that it's hard to imagine him doing anything other than pitch pretty well. He's also pitching for his next and possibly final contract.. did you miss 2005? His WHIPs the last 4 years look like this 1.31 1.51 1.84 2.00 Yeah, I'd say he's do for a bounce back, maybe to a WHIP of 1.75. It's either that or out of baseball.

It's been a couple days, so.... The answer to the trivia... UCLA was the first team to ever top the BCS rankings. They were QBed by none other than Cade McNown

It's starting. iPhone Spam

Thinking about it... I even made the comment after the opening kickoff last night. That game reminded me a whole lot of the '02 Orange bowl. Iowa took the opening kick to the house then got steamrolled. (Though they still made more of a game out of it than OSU last night) Also, I was thinking about Iowa's recent bowl opponents Texas Tech -- Win USC -- Loss (shared national title next year, and have been best team in CFB since) Florida -- Win LSU -- Win (defending champ) Florida -- Loss (won NT in next season) Texas -- Loss (defending champ)(NT next season?) If I'm a bowl team, I want to beat Iowa in their bowl game. It looks like the path to a NT...

Smiths numbers and game are far more comparable to Heisman runner up Brad Banks than they are to Drew Brees or any of the elite QBs in the upcoming draft. ------------------- I know it's going to combine the posts...... I had a thirst for some useless trivia, so.... Which team was ranked #1 in the VERY first BCS poll? Who was their starting QB?

I believe this is the best selling poster of all time... That makes me yearn for some useless knowledge....I'ma go post some trivia in the CFB thread now.

Craig Krenzel anyone? That was pathetic. At least we won't have to listen to Rock's Smith hype anymore.

I enjoyed this exchange during the late game today. announcer: "McQuarters hasn't cut his hair since 1998" Me: that may seem like a long time, but he hasn't made an open-field tackle since '97. So droughts are nothin' new for him.
