QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 09:11 AM) I dont know if a 400 dollar payment to a mother from an agent is going to sink him. QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 23, 2018 -> 10:30 AM) I have to say, I really would have thought this is all more egrigious. My takeaways are if this is the money being transacted to top talent (granted maybe only one venue), then NCAA can afford to pay decent stipends of 15k a year or something to each revenue generating athletic program., and smaller stipends to less. But also with how often the NCAA has tried to illegally use criminal proceedings to act as fact finding and enforcing wings of the NCAA itself, that the FBI's purpose is basically just enforcing NCAA rules I find disappointing. This is 1 small document from 1 agent that just happened to leak out (probably intentionally). I imagine the fbi case file is a thousand of those and then some. This is hardly over.

Looks like theyre re-evalutating the program by taking the year off. Weird move.

Chicago will create a $1.43M trade exception with the Jameer Nelson trade. The Bulls are operating as a team over the salary cap based on their $12.5M (TE) and remaining Mid Level and Bi-Annual Exception. So big trade coming?

Raw last night was fantastic

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 5, 2018 -> 02:34 PM) What an afternoon! All of the way down to 1400+ down on the dow, and now we are back to the down 700 range. VIX blew a 35. Total algo flash crash today. That was fun trading. Finally some volatility in the market.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2018 -> 01:16 PM) Illinois is the hackiest bunch of hacks. I’m shocked the entire team didn’t foul out. They really let them get away with it. They got called for 23 fouls and Ohio State shot 33 free throws. There was no getting away with it. And man Stephen Bardo is a terrible announcer for Illinois.

Trading a prospect for 25-30 million dollar defeats a lot of the purpose of prospects. The lower rated you go the more true that is.

I get it in this particular trade but I do hate how the bulls are just giving away so many draft picks while rebuilding. That's at least 4 times now.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 07:32 AM) Just saw an article on ESPN.com chronicling Brian Cashman's 20 year career as Yanks' GM, listing his four best trades. #4 was when he "stole" Steve Swisher from White Sox. He gave up Betemit, Marquez, and Jhonny Nunez. Sox needed to get rid of Swisher. Didn't really matter what they got in return. The problem was trading for him to begin with

The women's rumble was pretty awful but with the low expectations I think it came off better than expected. The Rousey signing should be great.

Extremely rare feat of best team in the AL wire to wire and tied the best playoff record ever. I don't know how you don't include them in the top 10 to be honest.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 06:59 PM) What complaint could someone possibly have about this? That it's in the way of my view of my season tickets and they decided to tell us well after we had to renew.

Terrible

And share the proper Sox email to send a complaint

Illini people were pretty pissed Lovie didn't hire him

Brewers make formal offer to Yu Darvish. Wouldnt be surprised that thay was the news and Crasnick got bad info about a trade.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 16, 2018 -> 10:55 AM) Looks like a good turnout but I don't really recall what this looks like year to year. Mostly just remember collins and Moncada last year. This seems like a massive crowd compared to years past. Didn't this just start a few years ago with like 4-5 of the young guys on their own and maybe Konerko?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 15, 2018 -> 10:26 PM) Jesus Christ, Illinois can't catch a break. Lol. They've led in the second half 8 of 9 losses. John Grove really bred a culture of losing. You expect them to lose when they're winning.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 13, 2018 -> 02:29 PM) Trae Young...making a case against Bagley for best player. KU barely survived KState at home. WV looks really good. Would still go with Chris Beard for Coach of the Year. Finally, Michigan and OSU both playing perhaps better than expected, especially the Buckeyes. Making a case? There's not even a debate lol

These refs during the KSU/KU game holy cow they are terrible. It's no wonder KU can't lose the Big 12

I somehow hate this move despite it be so inconsequential

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 9, 2018 -> 07:35 AM) Champion's League Basketball. NYMBURK -6½-114 (BONN VRS NYMBURK) $114 to win $100 I'm riding on this.

And a really really bad choke by the Chiefs
