i thought about what you wrote when i read a piece on a new york times' piece about a lady taking her dream trip to disney and spending 1/10th of her annual income to do it. ruining the thing that made you great so you can squeeze extra profit out of it and at the same time make it only the experience of the wealthy elite.

why would they let him back? is there no one else to rent to?

nothing will happen. gambling, daring to question social orthodoxy, questioning whether china is an open society, those are the issues silver cares about. cheating to pay players MORE money? wont matter in two weeks. nba will "investigate" and we'll hear nothing more about it.

shams isnt a reporter, he's a hype man for agents.

we've had the same arguments here for the last two years as the rebuild has neared a playoff spot but not gotten over the hump. my confidence was hit by last summer's fiasco. we'll see if this year's crop of depth signings does better than last summer's.
-
i think youre dinging yzerman because youre a contrarian and its what you do. i wish yzerman had gotten lucky with a ninth round pick like avila did.
-
i hope belichick fails miserably. last night was awesome.

al avila took over the tigers one year removed from a playoff spot. in 2016 the tigers were a few games out of the playoffs after spending a ton of money on free agents. the tigers had multiple star players on the team to use as assets to rebuild the team. the idea that the red wings when yzerman took over were in the same position as the tigers when avila took over is revisionist history. its false. yzerman is not above reproach, but he's not al avila.
-
yzerman has been really good so far with the exception of last summer which was a disaster cluster**** of verlander for franklin perez, daz cameron, and jake rogers proportions.
-
the only reason g2 compares baseball to hockey is so he can do his "steve yzerman is al avila" routine. you cant compare sports rebuilds. and unless you want to say yzerman inherited justin verlander, jd martinez, nick castellanos, david price, ian kinsler...which he did not.

ricky leach, 2-10 for 30 yards with a td in his first game. lol. underwood will have more completions in 3 games than leach had all season.
-
manning was turfing throws to wide open guys, i'm not so sure that was matt patricia's doing. good win for the big ten.
-
asp is small. there is a much better chance he ends up shayne gotisbhere than erik karlsson. a third pair defenseman who runs the power play. kasper showed last year that he can be pretty darn good. i'd be real happy if bear ends up that good. danielson is tall. 2C would be a great result for him. that's why he's "ranked" higher than the other two: because he's bigger.
-
need to see his growth chart as much as his points total.
-
Beasley is no longer a target in the fed probe. whatever that means.
-
agree.
-
the older i get, the less i listen to sports radio.
-
all jersey retirements are marketing efforts. but the "theyre doing it now because they suck" line is a little dubious to me considering they've sucked much worse a few years ago, and they have been real close to the playoffs and not struggling with attendance the last few years.
-
then why didnt they do it last year? or the year before that? there's probably plenty of logistical reasons behind the scenes that affect timing that we'll never see. he was a head coach in russia and, you know, RUSSIA... i think its been in the works for a while but this is when it worked out timing-wise. the old man has been gone long enough that the bitterness isnt there anymore.
-
that's a terrible ranking for the #9 pick in the draft ywo years ago.
-
who is a better prospect: matt savoie or buch? both are undersized offensive players. savoie is a center but he might not have the size to stay there in the nhl.
-
about time!
-
i dont agree with how they've done it. otoh, when they think youre ready they call you up. and its worked so far. kasper, seider, raymond, and edvinsson have all had excellent debuts and have been very good players. hopefully one of wallinder/buium/tuomisto break thru in camp. if they do, justin holl will easily clear waivers.
-
strikes me as a depth signing...easy to get rid of if you have to if one of their young defensemen surprise them in camp.
-
the celtics are trying to lose this year.
