I understand taking some middle round draft guy and giving him more chances to make a MLB roster. Luery Garcia made a nice living by doing everything. But Andrew was voted the top amateur and selected third overall.

No worries, the gun laws are more restrictive in Illinois lol

Great Trips - North America Campobello Island - New Brunswick, Bar Harbor, and Mt. Katahdin. Lake Superior Circle Tour - Lake Superior Provincial Park Sleeping Giant Provincial Park Minnesota North Shore and Gunflint Trail UP Michigan Intracoastal Waterway Bald Head Island Beaufort (Both of them) Coinjock (best Prime Rib dinner of my life) Norfolk Chesapeake Bay and all the historical sites. For the past 20+ years my wife and I have road tripped for two months each summer across the US and Canada. One summer we also sailed the ICW for a couple months starting in Charleston. We've visited most of the Rocky Mountain States and everything east of there. We flew to Oregon and loved our time in Bend and will be adding that destination for a road trip in a couple years. The only really bad trip wasn't bad, but driving the mountain shelf roads (500' sheer vertical drops, no shoulder, no guard rails, one mistake and you are dead) in Colorado and Utah was a strain that I do not wish to repeat. We will still go back because Leadville and Salida are a couple of our favorite towns anywhere and Helper, Utah will always be a special memory. But, I will be avoiding those "Scenic Mountain Roads".

@CaliSoxFanViaSWside I believe you are correct for most players. But we've had a couple where it was obvious there was a problem at the MLB level and they tried to force a square peg into the round hole to fix it. Andrew Vaughn is easily the best example.

Interesting. Stockpiling infielders.

At first I thought he was playing the sovereign citizen card. I love those folks. Always entertaining

College baseball players will be on less of a leverage spot for NIL deals.

The Golden Rule will be followed. The one with the most gold wins. The millionaires with realize the billionaires can wait them out.

I believe every step was calculated and planned. I could easy see the owners agreeing that a team owner with a serious chance to win a World Series after such a drought was the perfect front man. The owner with the most to lose had to be the face. Whether he volunteered or was voluntold may never be known.

I'm guessing you studied psychology.

When they are arrested their immigration status is noted, often those charges are added on.

That's been the usual findings here in Texas. Folks are trying to earn some money, send it home, and not draw attention to themselves. They ate also much less likely to report a crime that is committed against them. They are often targeted for that reason.

Interesting stat. What's your source?

The last one ended on 3/10 and they pushed back opening day. Greedy players won't allow it to end earlier. They don't care about fans who schedule vacations around spring training and opening day. Both sides have equal respect for the fans who make this possible. And those same fans just decided which side's s%*# smells better.

He immediately makes everyone on defense better.

I read he was still facing disciplinary actions from the NFL. Even if anyone would buy his story it really shows a serious misunderstanding of the optics. I would hope Green Bay fans would protest.

That would be an interesting poll. I am thinking April 5th with loss of games.

When the choice is siding with JR or the players, it's an easy choice. But, still they are both shitting on the fans.

I don't even recognize my team anymore.

Anyone outside Green Bay buying his explanation?

That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Plus I went back and read an article when he was traded and it was clear the Bears were trying to find a good spot for him. The Chargers were looking good back then. No ill will from what I read.

Here's a big question with Mack. Would you limit him to 25 to 30 snaps, primarily in passing situations, and would he accept that role? As the finishing touch and if he was fresh come January -- wow

I had a couple of our football coaches today making comments to me about the Bears and I didn't quite figure out what they were talking about until I saw the news. At first I thought damn that's a steep price but then I realized the next few drafts won't be near the top with those first round picks.

At least one party has that idea.
