For clarification, what exactly do you expect him to be?

I expect him to draw a lot of walks and hit with outstanding power. I expect him to develop into a good average hitter from the right side, but I think he'll always struggle some against lefties. I think everyone is going to spend his whole career picking him apart for his batting average merely being okay, when he is outstanding at literally everything else that happens on a baseball field.

He's still 23 years old. His power hasn't even come in yet.

I'm not saying I disagree with all of that, but I'm concerned. Like Jordan just said, he doesn't look comfortable right now. He needs to shorten his swing.

I know this is not quite as comparable as a Ponzi Scheme.. But the Feds love busting billionaire defrauders. It's how they get their jimmies.

Funny how all the national media seem to be focusing on the Cleveland Browns when God knows the only team that matters is the Tennessee Volunteers.

Special Agent Robert H. Root in the affidavit alleged a "conspiracy and scheme to defraud executed by various Pilot employees to deceptively withhold diesel fuel price rebates and discounts from Pilot customers ... for the dual purposes of increasing the profitability of Pilot and increasing the diesel sales commissions of the Pilot employees participating in the fraud."


They were making millions per month off of it.

Underscore

If you're reading this, then I'd like you to photoshop the words "RECRUITING FORUM" on a white no-windows rape van, preferably in some sort of scrawled-on font. If you have a minute.

Thanks.

Did that *** Rucker really write an article on 247 about getting dumped?

Please be true.

This is hard to believe now, but he was the best reporter covering the Vols when he was with the Chattanooga paper. The new job and the radio show made his ego blow up like a Texas fertilizer factory. [1]

Patrick Brown has his old job now and Patrick Brown is doing a hell of a job. Whoever is the sports editor at the TFP isn't an idiot.



[1] too soon?

If he does it, then I want you guys who go in there all the time to post it after all the stalker-y crap. I never read the RF, but enough stuff gets reported that makes me want to throw up.

Um, no. Please?

Seriously, with kids making their announcements on twitter and with media including kids' twitter handles in their articles (and retweeting them) it is only going to become more mainstream IMO. I think 24/7 now includes twitter handles each individual's profile page. Short version: it's only going to get worse.

Looking at some of the VolNation traffic analytics it is probably already much worse than you would guess.
