I was 7 when Frank made his MLB debut so I grew up watching him throughout my childhood, he has always been my favorite player. I knew he would make the Hall of Fame, but getting in the first ballot is just so awesome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 08:47 AM) NFL looks likely this offseason to expand postseason, adding 1 more team and 1 more game per conference (only the #1 seed would get a bye week presumably). Not a fan. As the playoffs become more and more of a crapshoot, and the margin between winning & losing get smaller, I hate to see the regular season get devalued even more.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 08:50 AM) I bet Petrino keeps it up longer. Gross. TWSS

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 09:03 AM) It's going down with every new update. I am less and less confident. Me too. The voters who stay anonymous and don't reveal their ballots are the ones most likely to not vote for Frank.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 07:27 AM) Louisville already employes Pitino, so this doesn't really change anything. This is true. It's not gonna be easy competing with Pitino for the top talent.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 06:43 AM) Bobby Pettrino back to Louisville. Lol. Once again, the college football morality police only exist if you can't help win football games.

Can't believe the temps are back above zero.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 01:18 PM) Yes, it's the Colts. Only in 2001 (6-10) and 2011 (2-14) did they miss the playoffs. The Colts also made their two losing seasons count as much as possible, netting Dwight Freeney and Andrew Luck as first round draft picks. 8 of those 13 years they went one and done, and only made 3 conference championship games (pending this weekend's result)

Baltimore Ravens?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 10:47 AM) For me it really seemed to happen with the 1987 rookie race. What happened that year blew away everything that had happened before it in all MLB history. There was obviously something going on with McGwire & Canseco, the Bash Brothers.

Jason Parks‏@ProfessorParks I'd have more respect for a writer that smeared his own s*** all over the submitted ballot than a writer that ONLY voted for Jack Morris.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 10:31 AM) While it's stupid, at least it's consistent if that's his process. To me, Maddux, Glavine, and Thomas (and maybe Biggio) are getting in tomorrow. And that should be looked as a positive thing rather than focusing on a handful of crackpot voters and steroids users. What's stupid is that two of the best seasons Morris had came in his late 30s in 1991 & 1992, when the PED had already begun. So he's not consistent at all.

Keith, Toews, & Sharp named to Team Canada. Seabrook did not make it.

We have found the asshole. Ken Gurnick, Dodgers beat reporter on MLB.com, did not vote for Greg Maddux. In fact, he refuses to vote for any player who happened to play in the PED era. He voted for one player, Jack Morris. Gurnick should not be allowed to ever attend another baseball game in his life.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 09:54 AM) Here is how bad Packers safety M.D Jennings is. He played 855 snaps this year and did not defend one pass. Not one. Only player in NFL to play over 800 snaps and do that. You think he would have defended one on accident. Packer safeties had zero INT this year. @zachkruse2 Morgan Burnett and MD Jennings were targeted 60 times in 2013. Allowed 46 catches, 612 yards, 9 TDs and a passer rating of 148.1. MD Jennings for Chris Conte, straight up trade. Who says no?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 09:10 AM) The most surprising part of the game was Auburn's defense holding FSU to 24 points. I didnt like that they went into zone prevent at the end and gave up the winning TD as their pressure fooled Winston all day. The defensive lines on these SEC teams always seem to make the difference between them and everyone else. Such a combination of speed and power.

Lindsay Vonn out for the Olympics after her most recent knee injury

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 07:45 AM) If you are down 3, you can consider going down at the 1, because you have a tying FG as a backup plan. If you are down 4, you never, ever, give up an opportunity to put the ball in the end zone. Well they were down 3, but then again, in college there is no such thing as a gimme FG. Every kick seems to be an adventure.

Roszival named to the Czech Olympic team. Team Canada to be announced today, most likely 4 Hawks on the squad.

SEC! SEC!

Just shoveled some snow outside for about two minues, it gets hard to breathe. But I think it has warmed up to the negative single digits, woohoo!

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 7, 2014 -> 03:35 AM) Eh, I don't know. Mason had a great game. He did perform at a Heisman-esque level. And that TD run (that preceded his celebration) was awesome. Dude was just having some fun. You wanna know who looked like a fool? - the FSU WR throat-slashing (or whatever gesture he made) the AU bench. That could have been a very costly mistake. When he broke free on that run, I was asking myself "Should he go down at the 1 to kill more time?". Of course had he done that, there is no guarantee they score the TD to take the lead, but they did leave too much time on the clock.

ESPN says Luol Deng had been traded to Cleveland

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jan 6, 2014 -> 11:11 PM) I'm awaiting for the SEC spin on this game. I imagine it goes something like this: https://twitter.com/hbryant42/status/420422211754016768

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 6, 2014 -> 10:48 PM) This game is awesome. Totally. Glad I stayed up for this one. And Tre Mason's dad is from De La Soul?
