It's doable, but who really cares? Look how many resources got wasted or misused in the late 1990s/early 2000s to keep the division title streak alive. Three of the final four teams last year got to the playoffs via the wild card. I suspect that using so much mental energy to chase down the...

I feel bad for Dak. He's good enough to win a Super Bowl under the right scenario. That will never happen under Mike McCarthy, and would have never happened under Jason Garrett regardless of personnel surrounding them. Unless the Cowboys plan to hire a competent coach there is no point in...

Of the three, Dak is the one you have to let walk (sorry @msstate7). He's solid, but not worth the top of the league money he's being paid. If there was a way to trade him for a higher draft pick/ multiple picks next year I'd do it. This season is a waste with McCarthy being retained...

The one thing you can count on is that Jerry will find a way to screw it up. My bet is on him going all in long term on the worst possible option out of those three. I don't even know which one that is. Just that Jerry probably does and will make that option the face of the franchise.

At least you have the optimism that comes with a new head coach for CFB.

I'm a Cowboys and an Arkansas Razorback fan. None of those make me feel any better. Get back to me when the college basketball schedules are set.

There shouldn't be any excuse for teams to overvalue and overdraft a guy with poor metrics if that player came from a high D-1 program like Florida (or really any in the SEC or ACC outside of Missouri). All those schools have Trackman or something similar. Spin rates, vertical/horizontal...

This is pretty much where I am, although like @striker42 said I want the rules applied equitably regardless of team or marketing value of the player in question. I wouldn't even use Acuna as the example, although I'm sure striker is right that he'd get the book thrown at him. But I don't care...

It's more than fine by me. It would improve the health of the game, and take away the excuses the cheaper owners use to avoid putting a competitive product on the field. Now if we can just convince MLBPA to go along with it, that it would be in the long term best interest of the greater number...

This is a good point as well. Players are transient for the most part. Fan loyalty generally stays with the team rather than the player. What benefits ownership usually benefits the fan, provided that the team isn't run like the Pirates or Athletics as nothing more than a means for the owners...

Annual salaries would go up if teams had a way to get out from under horrible deals. Reduce the long-term risk of failure and the short term money would be better.

It's probably more to do with the fact that most understand billionaires and corporations will never willingly sacrifice their own profits. If they want to sign a player at a top of market rate, they aren't going to take it out of profit...it's getting added to ticket and merchandise prices, at...

One day I'm going to come down for a Hogs/Dawgs series. If any of you Dawg fans venture to Fayetteville to check out the second greatest venue in college baseball (I'm a homer but realistic) beers are on me.

With the DH there is even less excuse for playing the core every day in the field. It's not going to kill us to have Ozuna stand in LF 5-6 times per year if necessary to let Acuna, Harris, or Kelenic DH every now and then while still keeping the lineup intact. Same for sticking Riley at 1st or...

I've always kind of liked Law in spite of his blatant misses on many Braves players. Snitching to someone's employer for mean tweets seems like kind of a bïtch move. Hopefully there was more to it than that for Keith to call you.

In a completely unrelated note, I am now the master of solving Captchas.

I’ll take starting catcher Travis d’Arnaud.

Yet they couldn't understand that Dale Murphy's knee problems were the cause of him going from being the second best player in the National League (behind Schmidt) to borderline unplayable.

I'm not bothered by Mauer getting into the Hall. I'm bothered by him getting in while Andruw Jones barely missed. The best defensive CF of all time, who also happened to hit over 400 home runs, should be in the Hall easily.
