It will be very interesting to see how the Pujols contract plays out. When it's all said and done the Cardinals will be paying $40+ million to two players and will probably be looking at a $140ish million payroll, which is astronomical by their standards.

I don't have a problem with Dawson getting in, I just don't think he is as deserving Bert Blyleven, Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, Fred McGriff, or Tim Raines (I do however think they will all get in eventually, at least they should). The only voters I will say are idiots are the five who sent in a blank ballot, and the one who voted for David Segui.

It will be very interesting for sure. Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb, and Michael Vick all have contracts that are up after next season. How they handle this will be intriguing to say the least. As I said, I think McNabb is under-appreciated to the max (and I am well aware of his flaws) and I'd love to have him back, but it might be kind of impossible. I don't know if they'd want him back after next year anyway because of his age (and we all know how the Eagles handle those types of players). Blah, we will see.

Lol...is the jury in yet?

I really, really hope he is back. If they have a repeat of this past Sunday, though, I think the Eagles may decide to move on. Hope not though. And I really hate the "it's the same thing with him every year" argument. This team is competitive and in the playoffs almost every year. Obviously the main goal is to win a Super Bowl but hell, imagine being a Raiders fan, or a Lions fan, or a Chiefs fan, etc etc. I think most of them would kill for the success McNabb has brought this team. Donovan McNabb is 100% the most under-appreciated athlete Philadelphia has ever seen (and likewise, Andy Reid is the most under-appreciated coach). I guess it will take them leaving and this team going down the [expletive]ter for people to realize how lucky we have been as fans over the past decade or so. But until then the [expletive]ing will continue.

Lol he never said he would "probably be cut". He said exactly the opposite. Warren just made a very misleading thread title (if that is what you are going by).

4-3 USA? Jeez. I won't lie I have not followed this at all.

Typical Sixers game. Three losses to the Wizards this year. Sammy D with 20 pts and 20 rebounds though.

It is official.

Bill Hall is horrible, good deal for Mariners.

:o Well it isn't really surprising, but still, when a top 8 or 9 pitcher of all time retires it is kind of a big deal. What a career, if he does indeed call it quits in his conference call tonight.

I basically agree. As a Phillies fan I'd obviously be inclined to pick Utley at 2B but he was only a full time player for 4 seasons so I can see why you (and most others) go with Kent.

Your title is very misleading. All that article says is that the Sixers still have a couple days before that clause in his contract kicks in (the one that makes it guaranteed for the rest of the year). As they have said all along, there is a very big chance they keep him around. Nothing has changed since the day they signed him, really.

Lol he was there for football 100%. They probably did not even look at his high school grades. Read some more of his tweets and you'll see what I mean.

DeSean Jackson's tweets are so entertaining. Clearly he benefitted from that Cal education...

At least the Sixers won today!

Okay that's fine, you didn't say "LMAO OWNED" just like I never posted a picture of Tony Romo in whatever situation you may be describing. And the Eagles got raped in every facet of the game today, you do not need to inform me of this. I have not been this pissed off over an Eagles game in a long time. I am just pointing out that the definition of "baiting" seems to fluctuate. Depending on the team that got "owned" and who posts that they were "owned", we seem to get different responses from those in power.

Did I say a word about Diesel? No, I don't believe I did. But posting "LMAO OWNED" after a team loses has been defined as "baiting" around here in the past, and for some reason you get a super long leash.

Well you clearly haven't been around here too long, then.

It's also amusing that if the score had been reversed and it was me and Fly3rs talking [expletive], we'd have mods up our rear ends about baiting but as usual you two get to post whatever is on your mind. But that's neither here nor there. Hopefully the Eagles won't take an entire 3 quarters to realize what they are doing wrong next week.

Well, that's disappointing.

The dignity of Philadelphia on this day rests on the shoulders of the Sixers.

Alright almost game time. Should be good.
