Yep, Izzo and D’Antonio now on the hot seat as well

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 10:48 AM) Actually those extensions are peanuts, that's why they are called team friendly. Usually it is like 30m for 5 years. That someone signs an extension at market value is pretty rare. 10x minimum salary isn’t peanuts, and it isn’t a certainty that it works out for the team (see Singleton, Jon). Of course teams aren’t going to pay every player their exact market value when they are under team control, that isn’t a realistic expectation in any sport.

MSU AD just stepped down

QUOTE (GermanSock @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 08:10 AM) Except is isn't really both ways, yes a few players get massive guaranteed contracts but the compensation is that ALL players are very cheap during their first 6-7 years which is their prime years. Sure it sucks you have to pay 30m to washed up pujols but both ways would mean giving pujols at 35 30 millions and trout or Bryant at age 24 50 millions per year instead of 500k. The overpaying of (a few) veterans was the price owners paid for getting young talent to work for almost free. It worked excellent for the owners, sure there are the pujols deals but overall the players share of mlb revenue dropped a lot in the last 10 years (salaries went up but less so then mlb revenue). If the teams now stop giving big contracts without raising young players pay (or shortening team control) that is simply a big pay cut while mlb makes more revenue than ever. Sure owners need to make some profit and I think the tipping point isn't reached yet but if the players lose any more of the cake the union needs to do something. Really the union did a bad job here. They were always selling the young guys but they didn't realize that teams got extra greedy (I.e. more efficient- which they can't be faulted for of course) and leaned more on young and cheap players instead of fulfilling their part of the deal and overpay the veterans. Union missed that trend. I don't blame the GMs for finding a loophole and get more efficient but of course they can't continue to underpay young guys and get more efficient with veterans. Owners need to make a decision which of the two groups they want to pay. Union will never get pay for both groups but no group of course isn't acceptable either. Except it is becoming more and more common for teams to identify and offer their younger players better contracts that take them through their arbitration years. It isnt a perfect system by any stretch, but every young player isnt playing for peanuts

USOC orders entire USAG board to step down within 6 days, or be decertified

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 25, 2018 -> 07:36 AM) As someone who hasn’t followed the details of this horrific story too closely, what does any of this have to do with Izzo? Nothing really. He made some pretty icky comments the other day and said something like “hopefully they got the right guy”, but he isn’t gonna get fired

Izzo is not next

Lou Anna Simon stepping down

Considering this seems like the first chapter in this story, I feel like this should be discussed. MSU is going to be facing the music soon, the NCAA just now opened an investigation and the FBI have been talking to people for months If anyone hasn’t heard the audio of MSU Trustee member John Ferguson, this is the height of ignorance and arrogance

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 23, 2018 -> 04:07 PM) I've heard nothing good about it if your team ain't in it, and for me, that's the reality every year This is 100 percent false. I went in 2002 and it was one of the best experiences in my life

Front cover pic is Frazier, Eaton, Lawrie, and Austin Jackson. Months are Lawrie, Frazier, Melky, Duke, Rodon, Eaton, Saladino, Robertson, Avi, Sale, Abreu, and Quintana. I never even opened it, when i got it i just laughed to myself

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 22, 2018 -> 07:58 AM) Brady is 27-9 in the playoffs, with a better than 2:1 TD:INT ratio, has a 91 QB Rating, and has made it to a Super Bowl every other year on average. In the regular season he's 196-55 with a better than 3:1 TD:INT ratio, and almost a 100 QB Rating. Brady sucks, Trubisky will suck. Parkman hates everyone. Who *is* good..? Brady definitely doesn’t have “it” ?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 21, 2018 -> 07:27 AM) How are congressmen allowed to use taxpayer money to settle this type of s***? Our system seems beyond broken. I think this entire administration cycle is bent on testing the limits of every rule and law that has been placed before it. And nobody is there to check it

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 11:34 AM) Though it may not translate to anything, sure is nice after Robert being somewhat of a mystery to follow after signing that he didn't show up weighing 260 lbs and first impression of him being less athletic and slower than they thought. That legitimately could have happened We are programmed to be disappointed in our prospects as soon as they become our prospects

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 10:44 AM) I like the names I'm seeing around another possible offensive assistant. Bevel would be an intriguing hire. Would he really come for the QB coach job or would a new role be created? Is Ragone still on staff? This morning Biggs said Ragone probably out

man, did the Marlins completely torpedo his value or what? Everyone knows the Marlins are trying to move him and now he doesnt want to be there anymore, they cant be shopping top shelf. What a disastrous first offseason for jeets

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 17, 2018 -> 08:25 AM) I heard on the radio that Russell Wilson was involved in 97% of Seattle's touchdowns this past season. Passing or running. Sounds like they need a running back that's reliable. The last time they had one of those they didn’t want to give him the ball at the 2
