We shared a birthday.

That does make those salary dollars seem a bit less unreasonable.

Throwing to third is an incredibly important skill that a 1B uses at least once a season.

Both are first year arb players, and DeAza actually has 16 more days service time than Gordo.

Does this mean press conferences will now be in both English and French?

DeAza had a .760 OPS playing CF and will get $1.7M. Beckham had a .668 OPS playing 2B and will get $3.1M. That seem out of whack to anybody else?

Is there any precedent for a CFL coach getting an NFL HC job?

How about Arians for HC and Trestman for OC?

Random fact learned on Jeopardy last week: Carter has now lived longer after leaving office than any other President.

For the actual doping offenses? Yes. For lying to the Feds about it? No.

The link he posted does not in any way state that LA admitted to running a doping program. I don't know where that came from.

I agree with that, though it's hard to imagine any of these guys turning down the Bears. An opportunity to coach a team that has won 29 games in the past three seasons does not come around often. 90% of the time the open jobs are with teams that have won something like 15 games in the past three seasons.

First of all, we don't know exactly how much he admitted to Oprah. He may very well admit to having doped himself without admitting to the larger scheme. Secondly, I would think he discussed the legal ramifications with his attorneys before talking to Oprah so I doubt he's saying anything that could land him in jail.

If they are buying, any of them.

This is kind of like asking would you rather win a million dollars or a thousand dollars.

Pats without Tom Brady would probably lose to the Niners. Just something for John H to keep in mind in case he wants to help out his brother.

No more ND home games for you!

It has nothing to do with the media. I'm fully capable of looking up historical attendance and win totals on my own and calculating that Sox attendance falls well below that of several teams who have won significantly less. I believe that ownership gives management a budget that is partly based on attendance and that management does the best it can to field a winning team based on that budget. I don't for a second believe that ownership is putting one dollar less into payroll than they are capable of.

Well, that's your opinion, but teams with fewer total wins, postseason appearances, and WS wins, have had better attendance in the last 20 years, so by comparison, Sox fans are spoiled.

Look at the Sox ranks in MLB in wins and in attendance over the last 15-20 years. That's pretty much proof right there.

If people keep predicting the Sox to finish behind Kansas City, sometime in the next 50 years, they will eventually be correct.

Everybody on TV is asinine and childish. Mike & Mike are one of the few who admit it.

Meyer would be on my list. Stoops wouldn't. My top two would be Jon Gruden and Charlie Strong, and I think ND could get one of those two.

He was the one cherry picking. It's not just a few bad play calls, it's several monumentally stupid play calls, and those kinds of things can't continue if ND is going to get beyond where they are now.
