The league needs to pressure them into selling and I don't say that lightly, it should only be an option when someone is an embarrassment to the league.

Let's say for a moment that Harbaugh (or anyone) was a team's dream head coach heading into the off season. Owners were all in. Front office was all in. The fan base was all in. Most importantly Harbaugh was all in. Why interview anyone else? While I am 100% for the goal, I believe it is what's best for society and the NFL, the sham interview isn't getting us there because there are times that good people would be set on a non POC for their head coach or GM from the beginning for sound football and business reasons. I don't have a better solution that can be mandated, I think if there was one it would have already been implemented. And we all know that great coaches are being looked over which is insulting to fans as well as potential coaches. We just need to find a better way to achieve that goal.

13 years a MiLB manager? Wow, you must really love baseball or really dislike your spouse.

I sent an email to Bettman's official email account. I have no hope of him actually reading it but I'm hoping someone is reporting what is coming through. His (Rocky's) arrogance is just so infuriating.

His answer makes me believe they aren't doing a damn thing to make certain it doesn't happen again and they wouldn't care if it did unless it was reported. If Bettman had any integrity he would denounce Rocky quickly.

Sorry Rocky, whatever sentimental feelings I had for the Hawks and their possible recovery just went down the tubes after watching you today. I have never been more embarrassed for a Chicago team as I am now. The organization should be saying I'm sorry every time they get a chance. You don't get to decide when people can and can't talk about it. You are the guilty ones. The worst owners in sports.

My guess is whatever he was asking for was a quick and easy no from Minny and probably would have been a quick no from the Bears.

The minimum really doesn't force any competitive balance. The amount of talent available stays the same. If the Dodgers are paying a player 2x what a small market is currently paying they could continue to offer 2x the small market price and the player doesn't move. Basically for competitive balance the playoff teams should lose talented players to the non playoff teams. The Sox should be selling not buying.

Everytime I read the headline here I wonder if somewhere in the Sox organization did someone say, "damn, there goes that option".

Hopefully the small payroll clubs are forced to be involved. Then we'll see some fireworks. Force a couple of those clubs to add 20 or 30 million to their payroll. Yee haw!

While we're waiting. I like the idea of shortening the season and adding another round of playoffs. With the playoff bonus pool money it would mean less games for the same or more money for players, which is a win. If this CB agreement achieves the goal of more competitive teams the tighter grouping makes sense to differentiate the really good from just good. If every team is between 75 and 90 wins, one injury in June could knock a really good team from in to just out of the current playoff possibility. The who makes the playoffs drama can happen at 154, 145, 158, or 125 as easily as 162. With interleague play there isn't anything magical about 162. The season was lengthened to make more money for the owners. Let's shorten it back to make more money for players.

Usually on the way out banned posters theorize power hungry idiots with small dicks.

Hopefully some players and scientists are getting together and discovering new ways of cheating to save the game like last time. The owners could end this now. Just accept the proposal and move on. I'm looking over what some are suggesting will be the hardest to resolve issues and I can't get excited about either position. Super 2 arb? Great, I'll take either side or anywhere in the middle if it means a settlement. Revenue sharing? Sure, either side or settle anywhere in the middle. I'm pro settle this fast.

Yeah. Big bucks.

Although some new mods would be an easy way to bring in some fresh cash. What's the current price to be a mod?

Basically she is an in house lawyer with a PhD in baseball and baseball operations. Another racial breakthrough first for the White Sox. It's one area the Sox are best in league.

Usually they will oversee all aspects of minor league operations, including evaluation of the minor league system, roster and statistical analysis, budget responsibilities, free-agent contract negotiations, implementation of new development programs and the maintenance of existing programs.

The MLB teams pay the players. And I'm certain some team owners are better than others.

Every player and every owner has to honor this new agreement so using generic owner and generic player terminology is easiest.

I'm down to XM and Amazon.

I hadn't really used headphones since my college DJ years and that wasn't really for listening. The first night I was listening to some classic rock from the 60s and 70s and was blown away by layers I never heard before. Some acts that I thought were ok back then went to the top of my list like Steely Dan. I thought $200 was crazy. With my well earned tinnitus I didn't think anything could sound that good.

Normally I'm all for media sites running with stories. I understand the economics of a scoop like this and I'm certain they felt they were on solid ground with their sources. But I can't help but feel he was cheated out of making the announcement himself. It seems really unfair. Now I hope he sticks around for one more year.

I read this and thought, wait isn't he a mod? Can you believe 17 years here?!
