6/19/25 DH Pirates @ Tigers Game 1 - 1:10PM Game 2 - 5:40PM

oh to be a pirates fan. so very bad every single year. -
dealing robertson also makes the most sense because you can get the biggest return for him. he's going to cost 10+ million to re-sign, so think about that if you want to deal for him. i also think they'll re-sign benn for a cheap one year deal. detroit could get into the stratosphere on cap space by waiving holl, tarasenko, and gustafsson. would give them almost 30 million i think. marner is still a pipe dream. all signs point to some west coast team. that said, all signs pointed to gaudreau signing to some east coast team and he ended up in ohio.
-
we also took on matt dumba in that max trade scenario. taking on - and presumably waiving - dumba would be very helpful to dallas.

bultman's proposal was 2025 first, elmer, and a 2026 second. the stars reporter turned it down.
-
another reason to hate the lakers.
-
Ryan Donato looks to be going off the board. set to re-sign in chicago for four years. not that he was on my list of guys to get. all offense who just had a career year on a terrible team.
-
just become the 51st state and you too can win the stanley cup.
-
i love the people on twitter arguing that this WOULD NEVER HAPPEN in the nba. ummm...ask michael jordan. we used to beat the **** out of that guy.
-
they showed up. florida shut them down. edmonton has two great players, florida has one great team.
-
canada's national boycott of the stanley cup continues. all the leaf fans can stop pretending to be oilers fans now.
-
a skilled swede to detroit? ya dont say.
-
is tyrese haliburton's dad there getting in everyone's face and taunting the other team? no? hmm...
-
given late stage kenny's many first round failures, it wouldnt surprise me if they did scout him extensively and just failed in their evaluations. otoh, kenny seemed to miss by just going for size over everything else (rasmussen, etc), and that is definitely not zadina. seems like that draft was two players (zadina and veleno) who had high pedigrees dropping and kenny picking them rather than realizing they might have been falling for a reason.
-
every rumor i hear was that they were going to take bouchard over hughes if zadina wasnt there.
-
zadina ranks 39th by point shares in that draft. suprisingly, that's better than joe veleno, who ranks 44th...
-
desmond bane can be really good. if orlando becomes a playoff contender those draft picks are just outside shots at role players. it goes to show how much nba teams actually value mid to late firsts nowadays. is banchero/wagner/bane better than cade/ivey/??? probably. so what does derrick white go for? if the pistons want to add anyone of significance, it will cost either ivey or duren plus four or five first round picks.
-
amen, brother. the only non-drafted player who has given value to the team over his contract last year is patrick kane. a guy who landed on their doorstep because no one else wanted him, not because the wings unearthed him. shayne gothisebere and jake walman might have been nice and better than justin holl and eric gustaffson. just sayin. and that's not a matter of "players wont sign with us" because you had them under contract and didnt re-sign them/gave them away.
-
marchand is a heckuva player.
-
that's why they wont do anything. theyre rent seekers, not risk takers. the risk takers are the private equity funds salivating to make the sec and big ten break off and form their own, pe money fueled competition. not nfl owners.
-
i disagree. i think the tie to the college and the history makes it popular.
-
everything sounds better in french.
-
they dont challenge it because it provides them with free labor training and increases the popularity of the nfl product. its not a competitor. will that change when it TRULY becomes a paid league? we'll find out. you talk about the nfl devouring and taking over college football like its just an absolute win for the nfl. its not. there's a lot of risk involved and taking on a lot of cost. and there will be complications and other competitors. more likely to me would be private equity moving to create its own competition. overall, i see interest in college football lessening the more it moves away from the current "student-athlete" model, as much of a fiction as we know that model actually is. but that could just be because im old and i liked the old system. but i do think people dont care about minor league sports and they wont care about minor league football either. i firmly believe that and i think its likely the nfl does too.
