If he is found guilty in the Miami thing , I want him suspended a whole year. Because he wasted the time of MLB officials giving him an appeal on the first time he failed a piss test and whined about it.

That was mocking the league, the media, and the fans. And it should be punished.

ARod was coming off an MVP year in 2007 when he signed the contract. So that factored in. The Yankees figured they would have Jeter chasing 3000 and ARod chasing 800 together and it would be a bonanza to fill seats. That was the thinking.

They figured he would drop down to 20 homers a year eventually, and he would still get the record. They didn't anticipate the dropoff would be as severe as it is. Though, they should have when they witnessed first hand what happened with Giambi stopped juicing.

I don't believe it was Cash who made the deal. Cash was fine with ARod opting out. Cash has proven himself over and over as a shrewed GM and you see this year again he got great productivity out of overlooked players.

This has Steinbrenner all over it. FATHER Steinbrenner. Who did more or less the same thing all the time, with players. Big Risk , Big Reward. Reggie Jackson, Danny Tartabull, etc etc. Sometimes it works , sometimes it doesn't.

Right now the Yankees are playing a smart waiting game. If ARod gets convicted of misconduct coming out of the Miami thing, they will end his contract on the clause about 'player misconduct'. And it will be a big legal fight. In the end, the Yankees will renegotiate a new contract with alot less money and ARod will have to accept it with little leverage. Because the Yankees can always say "you will be on the team, but not play". This will overcome the gripe of the MLBPA, but ARod's ego wont let him sit on the bench so he will opt to renegotiate.

Mark my words, this is how it will play out.

As far as Cano, since the Yankees pipeline is so bare, they will be forced to give Cano what he wants. They will probably let another team set his market value, and then top it.

Like it wasn't completely foreseeable that the Dodgers were going to blow this year from 50 miles away.... Eventually , in another 100 years or so, certain owners will understand you can't buy the pennant.

Eric Crouch, Jason White, Doug Flutie. College Heismans, Great college players. Not built for the NFL. Manziel is just like that.

**** Celtic! Here is what is obvious: The Chiefs will maximize flexibility. Neither of the tackles is Joe Thomas. So they wait and see if anyone wants to trade up til the bitter end. If noone does, their draft a tackle. If they get an offer, they will trade down, and then sign Brandon Albert long term. They are set either way. Then you just have to hope Andy Reid is smart enough to let Jamaal Charles have 25 touches a game.

They definitely should go OLine. Cassell had no time to throw last year. The Defense is fine. As far as joeckel or fisher. Joeckel battled much better college competition in the SEC, so he would seem more like a proven commodity, but he really doesnt look that big uptop. Fisher is more solid, physically, but obviously battled much less top competition. I don't know why they are so quick to want to move Brandon Albert. I would want to wait a year and see if whoever they draft pans out, and let Albert go in free agency next year.

The Problem the Rams have is that , yes, they got lots of picks, but San Francisco and Seattle are LOADED with current talent and also have tons of picks still to go as well.

So the Rams will make progress but will be overshadowed in what I expect to soon be the best division in the NFC. Starting in 2013. The once boring , everyone near 8-8 is going to now be a power division.

RG3 is no guarantee to have a long career. Running QBs miss ALOT of games to injury. I expect this to be the case with him too.

Yogi is right , where the first two posters miss the ACTUAL POINT. The Cubs should be playing their midweek games at night like everyone else. The only reason I can think of that this doesn't happen is that Chicago doesnt mind having a bad Baseball team and Wrigleyville is really just to take a day off work and drink. Woops.

All you have to do is look at the Cowboys as an example. You cant do two things in todays NFL: a) have more than X% of your team in their second contract - they need to be in their rookie deals - ie, draft well for starters and b) not overpay one position - Including QB. Or you end up deficient in one position or more. And the rest of the league looks at the tape, spots the achilles heel and take advantage of it. It will be years before Jerry Jones grasps this concept and years before Dallas wins anything significant. The Chiefs will win the division over Denver and their 19 million dollar QB for the next several years running.

All these QBs are foolish. They all want the maximum payday as some sort of D*ck showing contest about who is the biggest man.

But in reality, when there is a salary cap and you pay your QB 20 million, your team is going to be deficient in one or more other areas and you will not win the super bowl.

So apparently they choose money over winning. I wouldnt. Once you have 50 mill in the bank, what is 60 ? They only have a limited time to play the game, i would rather take a reasonable salary and win. I wouldnt need my manhood determined by a salary but rather my play and my winning and peformance on the field and how the guys in the locker room feel about me.

fools. Tom Brady chose winning over money. He is the man.

This is a stupid terrible idea that should NEVER be considered. The Cubs are a terrible baseball team. The Fans that show up are not drawn to the team. They are drawn to the wrigley/wrigleyville experience which involves lots of drinking. a) people are not going to drive to Rosemont. The fans want public transportation so they can drink b) they dont want to go far, because you need to pee after you have been drinking so they want to stay near downtown. This is a very bad idea- which means it will probably be implemented.

I think Jerry Jones would Trade Romo, but this isnt the year. Jones whole career has been built on risk taking, he would trade Romo in the right circumstances. But the draft is weak on QBs and backups are not plentiful. But if there was a year with an RG3 and Luck at 1-2, he would go up and get one, if the trade was sensible. He could spin it to not look like a donkey. All that said, the Cowboys had no running attack for alot of last year, and OLine problems, so its certainly not only Romo. They are not one-QB-away from the SuperBowl. They have many many needs.

The Cowboys are one of those rare things in life you never get to see. Retribution to the hated man. I love seeing the Cowboys implode every year and watch Jerry grimace. This is the karma Jerry has deserved ever since he fired Jimmy Johnson, who was the "real" builder of the Cowboy dynasty. Everyone knows this, Jerry fools absolutely noone in the sports world, then or now, that he is nothing but a money guy and thats it. He doesnt know anything about football, and the Cowboys will NEVER EVER win a Super Bowl on his watch. And I love that. It somebody getting whats coming to them right in front of our eyes. Every year. Love it.

The Royals have had near the top team Batting average for years and terrible pitching. This attempts to address that and make them balanced. The could afford to give up a bat with who they already have up in the show with Moustakas, Hosmer, Butler, Gordon.

Before we write off Granderson, consider the possibility he just had an off Year this year. He had a monster year in 2011. Cash can see with Grandersons option year, whether 2011 or 2012 is the way Granderson will be from here on out. Giving up Austin Jackson and Ian Kennedy (who wasnt doing well at the time) seemed like a good move at the time, but now seems less good. I don't think the Yanks need to move Granderson, but they probably wont sign him long term either. ARod is certainly the biggest Yankee headache by a mile. I personally think we are going to see an unprecedented situation happen with ARod and his contract, especially for NY, but I will talk about that in another post. Michael Pineda's health is another bigger worry than Granderson's weak 2012 offensive production.

I hope Jerry Jones never fires himself, never sells the Cowboys, and never comes out of his delusion. That way the Cowboys never win another Super Bowl. It was ALL 200% Jimmy Johnson responsible for their success in the 90's. Jerry Jones DID NOTHING to help that team win. Jerry Jones is a big friggin idiot. Cowboys will never win another SuperBowl as long as he is GM. He doesn't know the game enough to be GM. His ego just won't let him see that.

Mo does this often. Everytime his contract is up. He throws around the r word more than Brett Favre did. Then he eventually comes back.

Derek Jeter - first ballot no question , Mariano Rivera - first ballot no question, Alex Rodriguez wont get in, the baseball writers hate the steroid users, and hate his smugness even more, Ichiro -borderline candidate; had a great 10 year run but alot of guys in the hall had a much longer run of superbness , Robinson Cano - has had a nice run since about 2005, but certainly needs alot more years of dominating the game, Mark Teixeira - i dont see him as hall of fame worthy. he is a .250 hitter who is streaky, CC Sabathia - maybe, but more data points are needed. he has never been the franchise pitcher that pedro martinez or justin verlander or felix hernandez is, Andy Pettitte - probably will go to the hall with a good october this year and maybe another year in the majors in 2013. and Andruw Jones - probably a borderline case. if his braves teams won more rings, he would have a more solid case.

As a Yankee fan, I don't know which contract I hate more - ARod's or Tex's. They are both godawful. But a big Mouthful who keep posting all last year that Jeter was done. Doesnt look like it to me!

Oakland is a bad place. A lawless ghetto of bad people. All the teams need to be out of there

Mean Old Bald Guy, you are just too fcking stupid . Seriously like, you are what is giving the internet a bad name for random ****holes who throw stupid content onto blogs who are ignorant and dont know anything. Seriously, like take your computer and put it out with your trash this week, you are just too stupid to be on the net.

Andy Pettitte is bordering on hall-of-fame worthy. He has pitched countless clutch october baseball games for the Yanks. He might be in the top 5 -8 pitchers who EVER pitched for the yankees. His career number are probably alot the same of Ron Guidry, without that one sick season Guidry had in 1978.

The next time you post a stupid comment, you are going to be relegated to doing sexual favors on men.
