this is ALL pr and window dressing. the nfl gets raked over the coals for their seeming lack of concern for domestic violence committed by their players. in today's media world, they need to try to rectify that (or think they do). so watson is the sacrificial lamb who now sits out two seasons to satisfy tony buzbee's need for publicity. again, this is why you always pay. of course, even if they wanted to settle early buzbee wouldnt have let them. he needed this to drag out to keep his name in the news. might run for governor again. and it'll help him get more seven billion verdicts like the one handed down in texas a couple weeks ago.

i thought i read that nbc was bidding for part of the big ten's rights too. maybe that goes along with that? prime time acc games without notre dame arent moving the needle.

detroit is a gleaming new city?

seriously. let the union try to explain how this new disciplinary procedure is different or better for them than the last one. great job by demaurice smith as usual.

well....we usually draft those guys in the first round so.....progress!

are the russians allowed at the world juniors anymore?

but the shift has been growing more prevalent every year and players have not stopped trying to pull the ball and hit to all fields. not sure why eliminating the shift is an indication that they want more home runs. i think they want more balls in play and more people on the basepaths. that's what theyre looking for.

as you would say....HYPERBOLE. lol. its going to take time to see results from the new scouting and development system installed a few years ago. and prospect rankings are notoriously volatile. that said, gotta pick it up Al. you sold the rebuild and you sold the end of the rebuild. the results from this seem.....poor so far.

that's not mediocrity, that's bad. mediocraty would be a step up for this team. the only almost mediocre season was last year.

maybe if kirk gibson had built a championship team with another organization. but he hasnt. there is no tigers equivalent to steve yzerman and what he built in tampa bay.

not really. if he had a family friend who wanted the job and was also super successful at it and was a club legend, it would be appropriate. but they dont.

that would be the easiest and simplest thing to do, so that's the most likely thing that will happen.

is there a steve yzerman equivalent for the tigers?

team with little to offer gets little in return. sounds about right.

if anything, they were regular seasoj underachievers. 2013 was the biggest disappointment.

there's way too much math in this thread.

the words of the prophets are written on comerica's walls.... (thanks to chris fetter...)

somedays i wish my work station had that chicken wire on it...

macgruder is troy weaver's buddy. that's why he keeps being paid.

hello last place my old friend...

baddoo is done. should be in double a.

the last time the tigers had a big free agent splurge with avila they didnt get any better either. maybe there is a common denominator here? nyah.

marcelo mayer #15.

consider your nit picked.

even worse, chris extended him after years of failure, lol.
