Posted Thursday September 24, 2009, About: Five candidates to manage Braves in 2011

As a Cards fan I hope we don't lose either of our guys, Duncan or Jose. Duncan is a genius as our pitching coach.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: Patriots haven't called Seau - yet

Brooks still had some left in the tank but he is an OLB. They need an ILB. Also since they use a 3-4 and not a 4-3 I think this would be unsuitable for Brooks and the Pats both.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: Patriots haven't called Seau - yet

They need help at LB, mainly ILB, and not at DE. They got very good value for an aging player with three or four good years left. Will they miss him this year? Of course, but they wouldn't have resigned him after the season. Trade him now and get a pick or lose him after the season and get nothing. Smart choice for them.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: New deal in Manning's future?

20 million a year is a definite possibility the way Bill Polian throws money at players he likes. My bet though is 5 years, 75 million with 40 million or so guaranteed.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: Patriots haven't called Seau - yet

They won't sign him until they see how they play against the Jets this weekend. Then they will reassess their defense and should they need him they will sign him.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: Young helps McNair's sons

He is finally starting to get it right. I hope he continues to build off this and puts his past mistakes behind him.

Posted Wednesday September 16, 2009, About: Several teams interested in Baskett

Holt can still play which is one thing I hate about why the Rams let him walk away without anything in return. Williamson is a valid deep threat if they can get him the ball and he can hold onto it. And this Sims-Walker kid is going to be great for the team for a long time. They really do not need him.

Posted Wednesday September 16, 2009, About: Niners owner offers Crabtree sit-down

He will be lucky to get anywhere near what they are offering him next year. They are not going to give into his demands. Maybe bump it up a small fraction but not much.

Posted Wednesday September 16, 2009, About: Lawn of Bills' McKelvin vandalized

I think we all know the main culprit behind this: Commissioner Goodell on this site. Why did you do it? PEN15

Posted Wednesday September 16, 2009, About: Several teams interested in Baskett

He brings Kendra with him and the team gets instant celebrity and fame. Of course most of the teams are small market clubs which could use credibility.

Posted Saturday September 12, 2009, About: Tila threatens Merriman with civil suit

He will fight it every step of the way. Hard to know who is in the right and the wrong. It will come down to the make up of the jury and I just think she will lose.

Posted Saturday September 12, 2009, About: Ex-Brown: We screwed up not drafting Peterson

It is easier to sell a RB who makes plays than a LT. The life of RBs in the NFL is shorter than a Pro Bowl LT. I think for the long-run they made the right choice. Should be interesting to see though now that this has come out.

Posted Friday September 11, 2009, About: Cowboys, Ware talking extension

It goes without saying how much the Cowboys need Ware. The question really comes down to the price. I think something similar to what Terrell Suggs got from the Ravens would end up working for both parties.

Posted Friday August 14, 2009, About: Harmon reveals most common amateur mistake

Good stuff. The answer to why my golf game sucks.

Posted Friday August 14, 2009, About: Who's carrying heaviest bag at Hazeltine?

Nothing like breaking news on the golf front.

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Phillies shifting focus to Lee?

He is younger and better than his record indicates, but I think they will still have to give up a lot to get him too. The Halladay price tag was too much.

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: T.O.: Goodell needs to go to jail

Brilliant analysis. If this were Iran, North Korea (not South), or some other country he probably would have a bullet through his head rather than serving a 2 year jail sentence. They don't tolerate any form of insubordination there.

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: T.O.: Goodell needs to go to jail

His name gave it away before you even had to read his response. The idiots are really showing up on FN today. Is it free mocha Monday on FN as well?

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Hall of Famers pushing Selig to pardon Rose

This is the right thing to do. Forgiveness is a necessary part of life. Besides Selig needs something good to be remembered for after his awful mess that he made in the steroids era of baseball.

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Werner: Red Sox trying to make big deal

They will have to open up the deal and be willing to include a combination of some of their best prospects for either of these players. A deal for Roy would have to include Buchholtz and a combination of other players and a deal for Martinez would have to include three quality minor league players.

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: T.O.: Goodell needs to go to jail

That was Leonard Little. It was horrible what he did and then even worse when he got the second one. Unfortunately for everyone though the cops screwed up and he got off for the second DWI. It isn't right but shows how messed up our legal system is. Kind of an apples to oranges comparison though. Vick went before a federal court with specific sentencing guidelines. Just an unfortunate circumstance all around.
