Did anyone catch the Yankee game today? Due to some technical problems my tv was out and I wasn't able to see who won.

Would you mind posting a picture of the Seattle Seahawks trophy case? Kthnx.

On short rest, on the road, against a team that usually crushes him.

It's fine Yankees fans, we've got CC tomorrow, no need to hit the panic button.

Yo my tv out Yankees win?

The Gasol trade was blatantly about money. You need to apply the context of then and now Diesel. At the time the deal was made Heisley was in active talks with two groups that were considering buying the Grizzlies. So Heisley's motivation then was to shave as much payroll as possible to give a new group the lowest entry costs possible and maximum flexibility going forward. It was about saving Heisley and therefore a new purchaser a boatload of cash. The context shifts to today, where the FedEx Forum has thousands of fans dressed as empty seats. Memphis has among the lowest attendance in the league. So now Heislsey's motivation is to prove sustainable revenue to a potential buyer. The only reason they signed Iverson was in the prayer that he would bring fans in. The reason they got Z-Bo was to claim they actually have a commitment to winning, again hoping to draw fans and sell them on the team. The THEN moves were about cutting costs to make a sale. The NOW moves are about getting fans into the arena. Just because the context has shifted doesn't mean the Gasol trasde wasn't over money. It undeniably was. Unless you honestly believe Memphis thinks Kwame, Marc Gasol, Crittenton, Aaron McKie and two picks is worth Pau Gasol. Every fan outside of LA howled when that went down. Their howling is yet another aspect that PROVES the deal was about money. Because no one in their right mind thinks that the talent exchanged was in the same galaxy as equal value. That deal was about money. Period end of story. LA was willing to save Memphis nearly 50 million when the rest of the league only offered 20. That and only that is why Pau Gasol went to Los Angeles. Any claim to any other reason is science fiction.

The way the media is these days, I wouldn't be surprised if they go around finding things going wrong with this family.
