How old is he?

14. He knows.

Dusty Baker's managed for 20 years so far and I bet he's not done yet.

Lou Piniella is Exhibit A that there's always a place for Baseball Lifer.

My dad's take: "He wasn't in great shape and he found himself in a position he never was in before. Leonard embarrassed him and made hkm a joke. Duran was tired of his antics and basically said "**** you" and was done. Nothing more nothing less."

This is exactly what happened. They said it point blank, they forced a fight as soon as possible knowing that he had ballooned to an unbelievable level, hell he was the one moving up for the Leonard fight! Sugar Ray made $10 mil for the first fight while RD made just over $1 mil. Now he's offered $7 mil if he agrees to fight less than 6 months later? Reeeeeal shocked he said yes to that.

Okay, so last night the US scored in stoppage time in a meaningless (for them) game that kept Mexico alive in the World Cup. Mexico were eliminated if the US hadn't scored. The Mexican announcers celebrating and ripping their team is outstanding stuff. I wish our announcers were so brutal when it's deserved.

Translation:


"GOOOOAAAAAAL The US of A PUTS us in the playoffs!!!!!" USA!
"It is because of the USA that we are being placed in the playoff ...BECAUSE OF THEM , NOT DUE TO YOU..NOT ANY OF YOU in the green shirts ....IT WAS THEM!!.NOT YOU!..THEY DID IT!!!!!NOT YOU! remember this forever..... KEEP THIS CLEARLY IN MIND FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES! You do NOTHING for the shirt, you do NOT put the effort, you have NOTplaced us in the playoffs , you HAVE NOT placed us in the WORLD CUP ..YOU WOULD NOT HAVE KEPT US ALIVE....IT WAS ESTADOS UNIDOS, NOT YOU.! .NOT YOU AND YOUR ARROGANCE/CONCEIT.....NOT YOU AND YOUR INFAMY....NOT YOU AND YOUR MORONS/PUNKS....
....
"IT IS A FAILURE.....and UNDESERVED -to go through to the playoff- WE HAD NO ARGUMENTS to earn the playoffs, THE USA, WITH SUBS , WITH MANY SUBS as the visiting team shows us once again what the USA is all about ....how to play the game with dignity, how to approach the sport..MExico is a horror, just terrible....A FAILURE....
......
THE USA HAS SURPASSED US ..They are better than Mexico in SOCCER ....THEY EVEN HAVE THE LUXURY OF PLAYING THEIR SUBS and KEEPING US LIVE.... I hope our coach wears the pants and resigns..He has failed as coach...."

Erin Andrews is cool in my book.

She does have a weird sort of awkwardness to her. Got to hand it to her though. Her shelf life has been about 3 years longer than I thought it would be.

How is their pizza? They advertise it endlessly here on the Sports Animal, but they don't deliver and the closest one to my house is just a stones throw away from one of my favorite restaurants in Knoxville, so when I'm over that way I always end up there.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Marco's pizza is pretty good, IMO. I eat there quite a bit, but its also about a mile from my house.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

And wtf is Jim Irsay doing? Trying to play mind games with Peyton and the Broncos?

 

[FalcoVol]

Almost time.
