My wife is a teacher. Please give me a reason, other than massive TV contracts, on why pro athletes deserve to be paid in the millions?   Actually, don't. You're over here placing a higher value on pro athletes than educators. As if playing a game for a living is extremely difficult. 

The non-contact knee injuries in this league just amazes me. Houston now can't keep their best offensive player on the field

I almost feel bad for Hue because he's a much better coach than his record indicates. That said, its a situation where you almost can't keep him with such a bad record. The front office botching personnel moves is one thing, but Hue playing QB roulette one week to the next is another.    If...

  Of course it doesn't...which is why they're predictions. But betting on big market teams to land expensive players pays off more than not. The wildcards in this equation are the Cubs and Nationals. Both teams have owners that are rich as fuck, but both also carry a lot of salary and haven't...

If the Halos can get some pitching, they'll be in a good position to be more competitive. I'd like to see them bring Brandon Phillips back for at least one more season.

...and he's done. Well, at least for this season. Doesn't come as much of a surprise all these weeks later. Colts went from a lengthy period of stability to complete disarray.    Colts worked out a handful of QBs today and none were named Colin Kaepernick.    Time to rage.

  The money is obviously in NY, Boston, and LA. I could make a bold prediction that Milwaukee splurges to sign an SP, but that would be for the sake of being edgy..?

  You don't put Dombrowski in charge of personnel decisions and expect to go the cheap route.   Angels just locked up Justin Upton for 5 years btw.

Yanks couldn't pull it off in 2001, but they got to the very end of Game 7.

The Red Sox wasted no time naming Alex Cora's coaching staff for 2018:   Ron Roenicke, Bench Coach Tom Goodwin, 1B Coach & OF Instructor Carlos Febles, 3B Coach & IF Instructor Dana LeVangie, Bullpen Coach & Catching Coordinator   Meanwhile some of us are still waiting on the Yankees to name a...

In your opinion. I can live with that.

  NFL players area worth a hell of a lot less than educators. Without educators, NFL players definitely wouldn't be smart enough to comprehend a playbook. Chicken before the egg my friend.   A lot of people can play football. Hell, I'll play for a living. Can't promise it'll be the greatest game...

Think back to the Browns dumping Ray Farmer and Mike Pettine in 2015. The Haslem's decided to make a dramatic overhaul of the front office and take a different approach. They brought in baseball analytics expert Paul DePodesta and the Moneyball approach to personnel.    The problem: Hugh Jackson...

  The gave him a shot at the title after 3 fights, if I remember correct. But like I said, I get it. The division was pretty weak. So weak that Couture had to come out of retirement and hold the belt. 

Eric Hosmer - Red Sox J.D. Martinez - Dodgers Jake Arrieta - Red Sox Yu Darvish - Yankees Lorenzo Cain - Brewers Mike Moustakas - Cardinals Carlos Santana - Indians Zack Cozart - Reds Justin Upton - Angels Masahiro Tanaka - Angels Jay Bruce - Yankees Shohei Otani - Yankees Jonathan Lucroy -...

I'm aware as I've been there enough times for work. Great city, very patriotic. But I meant the NY vs LA series.

  You're not a fan of Joe Maddon, but watch him manage a game and he double-switches about 3-4 times per game. Even on a simpler scale, deciding whether or not to bunt your pitcher or have 'em swing away is a strategy/decision that doesn't exist in the AL. SPs also average more IP in the AL b/c...

  I should clarify, more interesting to the casual fan. The current NL strategics just aren't interesting to non-baseball hardcores. As this postseason further proves, people love the long ball. Nobody wants to watch a pitcher's duel with manufactured runs.    As much as I hate caving to casual...

  Which part? Maddon has 2 trips to the LCS and a World Series in 3 years, .602 win pct....how is he anywhere near a hot seat? 

  The league has ton an awful job taking care of the players who were paid much, much less during a way more violent era. But I'm not going to sit here and act like every player who steps on the field someday leaves it with CTE. Regardless, you'll never convince me a pro athlete is worth $15-30M...
