QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 05:09 PM) Sitting him only shows they are extra motivated to move him, moreso than before, reducing leverage they have. I don’t think the difference is that big of a deal. They haven’t had much leverage since he woke up from Portis dropping him 4 months ago

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 11:46 AM) Trey Gowdy just announced he is stepping away from politics. Rs jumping ship before an anticipated 2018 Dem wave? You have to imagine he has been privy to a lot of things that put him in awkward spots with his party. probably better to walk away than it is to stand up to it

I don’t know how many of you watch anime, but “one punch man” on Netflix is bizarre and ridiculous and very funny.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 07:58 AM) Yeah. I'm the first person to admit, I give the people in the industry the benefit of the doubt because they are on the inside and know more than me. I probably give them too much credit in most cases. However, it's really tough to figure out this one, unless cousins and the team had so much acrimony that there just was no solution. I would assume washington is drafting a QB early in the next draft or two. Smith is a good, professional stopgap but he can't play much longer at a high level. unfortunately you can never give Snyder the benefit of the doubt

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jan 31, 2018 -> 06:34 AM) If the Bears did this I'd have to question my fandom, what a hilariously bad move by Washington. And just think, Snyder nixed a 5/40M deal for Cousins when he became the starter

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 30, 2018 -> 06:02 PM) How is Demps playing hardball. Who is Ajinca? Is that supposed to be Asik? How the heck is Asik a unique asset? I presume Bulls leaking is to basically tell other orgs interested in Niko to put out your best and final offer. http://m.espn.com/nba/playercard?playerId=...amp;src=desktop Seems like he is done for the season

Whether you agree or disagree, we need to keep this conversation civil

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 09:18 AM) No grudge, but it was a most ridiculous statement. He does do some college basketball games for anyone who needs a Rooney fix. Yea he does a lot of MVC games, I hear him on siu games and arch madness tournament

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 07:44 AM) John Rooney is OK, but he lost me in the 80s when he argued Gary Redus was better than Rickey Henderson. lol that is a long ass grudge

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 27, 2018 -> 09:25 AM) Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 12h12 hours ago The Chicago #Whitesox sign lefty Xavier Cedeno to Minor league contract with spring training invite. He’ll earn $1.05 million if he reaches big leagues Saw this was posted, but thought it deserved it's own thread. I like this move as I think he will make the team unless he completely implodes in spring training. This will allow Bummer a little more time in Charlotte (needs to work on command) before coming back up. Sox bullpen with a healthy Jones actually looks pretty decent now. Ha!

QUOTE (Jimmy3Putt @ Jan 27, 2018 -> 08:16 AM) The station sucks (the reception, not content). I've got a 2016 vehicle and my wife's 2012 model has a new sound system. It's not the radio. I lose reception when I get north of Lake Cook Rd or west of 355. So that means unless i'm in Cook County I can't listen. It's terrible because I used to listen to every day game since i'm always in my vehicle. I have listened to wscr past Rockford, I’m not sure what’s up with your reception. I live in Lake in the Hills and drive to work in Elgin every day and listen to it with zero issues, and I have 98 model car

Well that Izzo thing went the Penn State direction. It’s gonna be a rough rest of the year

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 04:55 PM) Honestly it would be a lynching if Izzo was forced to resign. Maybe even D'Antoni, though I know less of the claims there. I get that there's a point where your program is filled with people accused of doing criminal things, and that becomes the responsibility of the coach bringing those players to the school, but (1) it's not their fault their player does something criminal, (2) it's not fair to bench a guy or suspend a guy just because of an accusation. There's obviously a point where you should act in response to a proven claim or even a highly credible claim, but i'm not sure if that point got crossed. And if these guys have to go, then so do the people in charge at Minnesota. They allowed their serial rapist to continue playing until the last minute. I mean, sure. They all need to go I can’t see Izzo finishing out the year under this cloud. Road games are going to be hell, there will be constant scrutiny and more digging for cover ups. Walking out seems the better choice

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 02:08 PM) Am I allowed to take a disappointed and sad but totally expected version of here? i think its just more of a "yep, not surprised"

Story just came out that Betsy Devos met with Lou Anna Simon on September 20th, and two days later she rolled back Title IX protections for sexual assault victims.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 02:01 PM) He's too much of a God in East Lansing for this to do much to him. He can say he followed the advice of the school admn and athletic director, which was that after an investigation his players were cleared. I dont think so, not this time.

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
