Growing pains in 2014 lead to better things next year and beyond.

Happy to see Webb made the team.

There are graduate student unions, and as far as I'm aware, their scholarships and stipends did not suddenly become taxable upon unionization. eta: well some quick googling seems to indicate that TA stipends are in fact taxable! It will end up being taxable players cannot have it both ways. Players should be careful what they wish for.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 07:11 AM) Was he back on the air last night? That had to be a fireable offense. Not the crapping but just leaving it for someone else to clean. Worked with Les a few times. Very unprofessional. Unreal move by Les.

Lost 4-3

Back to back HR's Sox still fighting.

Sox playing like they want to leave Arizona.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 26, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) I can't imagine the Sox go with just one lefty, especially since Downs has looked pretty shaky. The bullpen is definitely a weakness, or at least a concern, going into opening day. Veal being the 2nd LHP in pen tells me we really have 1 in Downs right now. I do not have any faith in Veal at all.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Mar 26, 2014 -> 01:25 PM) Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 3m #WhiteSox have claimed Javy Guerra off waivers from the #Dodgers. That's a big addition to the bullpen. Good move. I like it. Nice to have surplus arms. It's a long season. Hope Veal is shown the door.

Should be a good Raw tonight Punk style.

Who else is getting WWE Network Monday?

House of Cards very good season 2. Will be interesting how Season 3 goes now.

43 so young RIP.

Sorry to hear that.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) That shocks me. I assume everything will be edited out. Shocked me also.

Turning into a Super Bore. How many parties or casual fans already have the game on mute or turned it off after that Seattle dagger 36-0? Denver knows how to get whipped like a Govt. mule in a Super Bowl they have had practice.

This game is over!

Denver lucky to be down only 8-0.

Now playing the role of CM Punk......................Dolph Ziggler http://www.wwe.com/videos/tom-phillips-int...n-31-2-26179139

Good anything to make me think about something else but cold and snow.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) Lol, MVP TNA is in the s***ter.................on the plus side Sting to WWE sounds like a done deal.

TNA Investor storyline ...........SOS!

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) If Rodon is available at #3 there should be no way we pass on him. He's a top 20 prospect in the game right now. He's got an 80 slider with his fastball. Not that I think the two teams in front of us will be dumb enough to pass on him, we would have to meet whatever his demands were. You'd probably see the Sox sign some collegiate seniors in rounds 5-10 and sign them well under slot or maybe draft an unsignable high school kid in RD 3 at #78 and just take pick 78A in 2015. Houston will not pass on him barring injury. They see Rodan and Appel a 1-2 punch down the road.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 07:29 AM) Punk took his ball and went home. Story line or real? According to Pwinsider.com, CM Punk has been pulled from all advertising of WWE live events going forward after a meeting with WWE management at Monday's WWE Raw tapings. Punk is under contract until July, but the feeling right now is that he is no longer factored into the company's plans moving forward. The plan was to work towards a CM Punk vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania 30, but not it seems as if WWE may slide Daniel Bryan into that slot. Some sources have stated that the original script for Monday's Raw called for Punk to wrestle Antonio Cesaro and lose after Kane interfered in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying match. Other sources claim that he was not scheduled to wrestle, but instead say he was booked to do a promo that would follow up on Kane causing his elimination from the Rumble. Either way Punk was booked for Raw, but was not backstage for the show or at Smackdown. The feeling is that the late re-writes for the show on Monday were because Punk had informed the company he was going home and wouldn't be back. Word is that this is not an injury situation, but instead a case of burnout and unhappiness with the overall direction of the company. Punk had been very vocal in the past about the usage of returning and "part time" stars being pushed beyond wrestlers who were working full-time for the company.
