Absolutely. If more profesional athletes had the balls and bravery that Pat Tillman did, they might deserve some of the adoration and hero worship they recieve.

With sniffing dogs, you have to "give" them something every once in a while or they won't stay interested. So what happens is they plant something, that way they can reward the dog and keep it interested. At least I have always heard that about drug dogs. I imagine that it is the same for bomb dogs.

Its sad how people are using this kids death to further their own causes. All Tilman wanted to do was, what was right. And this is the thanks he gets. :headshake

2b is taken care of with the signing of Renteria as Uribe slides over there, Harris won't be starting anymore. Everett, I have no faith in as well, I really think Escobar will be the starter by the AS break. 3B is fine with Crede. He won't put up star numbers, but with the rest of the offense, all he has to do is be solid. And realistically, you can't fill all of your holes unless you are the Yankees.

So the French looking down their noses at American's is any different

Somehow I keep envisioning Tex as Hank Hill.... "Damn it GOP!"

I think even if Frank exercizes, the Sox can pay him $3.5 mil to go away. At least that's how I understood it when it was signed. Here is the full article http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/thestate/spor...all/4685046.htm

Upon conviction or a plea agreement the league decides an appropriate punishment. I don't recall a players contract ever being voided, but I could be forgetting something.

Like I said earlier, the NFL has the best system of all pro sports.

I don't think hookers fall under good citizenship.

Once again, this is something the NFL has done really well at. They have a decency clause that allows for suspensions based on this kind of crap. Things like DUIs, drug arrests etc, actually have consequenses. And I am sure you are right about who would get the contract voided and who wouldn't. Could you see Pujols getting his deal voided? Never.

Could be... we tailgated pretty good before openning day, I don't remember the ceremonial first pitch Pudges number retirement was a few years back though, I do remember that. I am pretty sure I even took some pictures.

Carlton Fisk did return to the park for his jersey/number retirement ceremony. I was there.

Maybe the publicity is greater, but the end result is the same. People lose their jobs for this kind of stuff, why should Neagle be any different?

Nice Heads Venison yummy.

OMG is that awesome :notworthy

How did I know you would be the one person who would say adding 20% in payroll isn't enough.
