Showtime, probably the best nickname for a team ever.

you guys keep a journal on big blue's quotes and bon mots so you can use it against him? wow, you're regular eggward and dogsteins

considering what was going on before him, i'll go with Kerry Collins.

who cares when or why someone became a fan? this is one of the silliest arguments in sports. to argue about it like you're in a court of law and use terms like 'by your own admission' is sillier still.

you get in free and get free shit anyway.

dodgers haven't offered more than 2- giants aren't serious, just dickin with the dodgers.

boras thought taking the dodgers to the playoffs would land him a 4 year deal. what it did was show everyone that manny needs yearly motivation. there may be some owner who folds but so far he's seeing no market for the 4 years he promised his player.

if you give him 2 years when he wants 4, he's not going to play the first year. if you give him longer than 2, you're probably paying way too much.

1 year, 30 mill- absolutely, the mets should take him. any longer is a problem.

wala wala onions are tasty too. but that's outside of seattle. and don't forget Frasier....

good coffee, great seafood.

you may be right- my feeling is if kiwanuka proved to be a force, tuck would not have been double teamed so much. tuck has already proven what he can do one on one.

being a good receiver doesn't mean being tall- it means being able to get off the line, run crisp routes and adjust to the ball. TJ can do all of that. We have a 6'5 tight end.

i was like that every football sunday in the '70's. but really, the guy only needed some space- everyone in his face were certainly not very sensitive.

For me it's Kiwanuka- I know all the excuses but great players rise above. He did not develop all year.

going to see him tonight vs. Monta's first day back from the moped accident.

I hope every NFL executive feels the same way as that guy.

just in case you thought that he was just a fuck up: >In 1982, Henderson broke Lou Brock's modern major league record by stealing 130 bases, a total which has not been approached since. He stole 84 bases by the All-Star break; no player has stolen as many as 84 bases in an entire season since 1988, when Henderson himself stole 93. Tim Raines of the Montreal Expos had the next highest stolen base total in 1982, with 78 >In 1985, Henderson was traded to the New York Yankees for five players. That year he led the league in runs scored (146) and stolen bases (80), was fourth in the league in walks (99) and on-base percentage (.419), and had 24 home runs while hitting .314. He also won the Silver Slugger Award, and was third in the voting for the MVP award. His 146 runs scored were the most since Ted Williams had 150 in 1950, and he became the first player since Lou Gehrig in 1936 to amass more runs scored than games played. Henderson became the first player in major league history to reach 80 stolen bases and 20 home runs in the 1985 season. He matched the feat in 1986, as did the Reds' Eric Davis; they remain the only players in major league history who are in the "80/20 club". >In 1989, Henderson reasserted himself as one of the game's greatest players, with a memorable half-season in which his 52 steals and 72 runs scored led the A's into the postseason;his 126 walks for the year were the most for any AL hitter since 1970. With a record eight steals in five games, he was named MVP of the American League Championship Series; he hit .400 while scoring eight runs and delivering two home runs, five runs batted in (RBI), seven walks and a 1.000 slugging percentage. Leading the A's to a four-game sweep over the San Francisco Giants and the franchise's first World Series title since 1974, Henderson hit .474 with a .895 slugging average (including two triples and a homer), while stealing three more bases. dot dot dot

i would rather trade picks or go FA for an established WR than crap shoot in the draft. we just haven't had much luck (or skill) developing receivers. we're much better at drafting line players.

you're talking fielding? obviously, no. but he caught the balls within his range and he had a decent pivot. that's all you need from a 2B with pop.

No doubt in my mind that James Harrison is long snapping for the AFC.

yup- you should. those 2 have nothing in common except the position. sandberg was a great fielder and a great base stealer too. kent was slow as...all the other giants at that time. and i agree, he could've played 3rd or 1st but it helped the giants to have him at 2nd-then they didn't have to find power at 3rd. remember, they traded matt williams for him.

ryne sandberg was a better power hitter than kent? that's crazy talk!
