I read earlier, that a BBQ restaurant in the Dallas area is selling shirts that say "Rougned eats free". They are going to allow Odor to eat free anytime he comes to the restaurant. [Hidden Content] -

Here's what it boils down to; bautista made a mistake with his bat flip. Everyone in the sporting world knew there would be some type of retaliation by the RANGERS. This is baseball. toronto expected it, the fans of both teams expected it, baseball fans in general expected it. The problem is not that Matt Bush hit bautista. The problem is the bat flip. bautista would have never been hit if not for his actions. There is a huge difference in celebrating an achievement and "showing up" another team or opponent. bautista "showed up" the RANGERS with his actions. He paid for it with a ball to the ribs. Very few people, outside of toronto, had a problem with this. Everyone knew it was coming. If the punk, bautista leaves it at that, the situation is over. But no, he now thinks he needs to do something in return. He goes in late and hard at 2nd in attempt to take out Odor. He didn't slide that way to break up a double play. He had intent to take out Odor. Again, his mistake. He got up and got whipped by Odor. Very simple life lesson, do not "show up" your opponent. If you do, be ready to pay the price! -

GREATEST PLAY IN BASEBALL 1976
Ty Cobb replied to Hagar's topic in Professional Sports- NFL, NBA, MLB, Etc
I was born in the summer of 1976 so my only memories of this are from what I have seen on the news through the years. It was a moment where an American citizen stood up for "what's right" without worrying how people would react. The problem is, now days, someone would sue for not allowing those two idiots to burn the FLAG. Our department stores and major company's would follow suit and make a rule that flag burners can use whichever public restroom they want. -
The Dallas Cowboys suffered another big blow to an already depleted defensive front. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the team and Demarcus Lawrence were notified that the defensive end faces a four-game suspension for another failed drug test. Lawrence is appealing the suspension, according to sources informed of the situation. The Dallas Morning News first reported the pending ban. Lawrence was previously hit with a four-game fine for a substance abuse violation, making a four-game suspension the next step. Dallas already had huge question marks along the defensive front entering next week's NFL draft. Earlier this offseason, defensive end Randy Gregory was suspended for the first four contests for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. The Cowboys have wanted nothing to do with bringing back Greg Hardy. Jeremy Mincey also remains unsigned. The depletion of depth along the defensive line could force the Cowboys to eschew the likes of running back Ezekiel Elliott or corner Jalen Ramsey and use their No. 4 overall pick on a pass rusher, such as Joey Bosa.

Yes sir, there's a lot of truth in the that one line and a whole lot of truth in the entire song.

This is one of my favorite. Are The Good Times Really Over I wish a buck was still silver It was back when the country was strong Back before Elvis Before the Vietnam war came along Before The Beatles and 'Yesterday' When a man could still work, still would The best of the free life behind us now And are the good times really over for good? Are we rolling down hill Like a snowball headed for Hell? With no kind of chance For the Flag or the Liberty Bell Wish a Ford and a Chevy Could still last ten years, like they should Is the best of the free life behind us now? Are the good times really over for good? I wish Coke was still Cola And a joint was a bad place to be It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV Before microwave ovens When a girl could still cook and still would The best of the free life behind us now Are the good times really over for good? Are we rolling down hill Like a snowball headed for Hell? With no kind of chance For the Flag or the Liberty Bell Wish a Ford and a Chevy Could still last ten years, like they should Is the best of the free life behind us now? Are the good times really over for good? Stop rolling down hill Like a snowball headed for Hell Stand up for the Flag And let's all ring the Liberty Bell Let's make a Ford and a Chevy Still last ten years like they should The best of the free life is still yet to come The good times ain't over for good

You couldn't be more wrong. Non-athletes do have to wake up and go to class. That's why they are in school in the first place. Go to class to get a degree. Now, if you want to talk about meetings and practice, you are right. Non-athletes do not have meetings and practice. However, they do have these things called jobs. How about going to class from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm then work from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm or later? These jobs are how non-athletes pay their way through school since they are not receiving $41,000 a year in scholarships. Find me another 18-22 year old, without a college degree, that is pulling in $41,000 a year.

Players do get paid. They get either a free education (full scholarship) or an education at a reduced amount (partial scholarship) that regular old students do not get. According to this website //www.ua.edu/about/quickfacts, it costs, on average, $20,755 per semester to attend Alabama. That's somewhere around $166,040 for a 4 year degree. That comes out to players making $41,510 a year while they are at Alabama. Really don't see how players need to be paid anymore than what they already are getting.

Here's a scouting report on Joe Looney. (Bryan Broddaus from dallascowboys.com) Name: Joe Looney Position: OG/C College: Wake Forest Height: 6-3 Weight: 309 Draft: 117th overall by San Francisco, 2012 Games Studied: 2015 Tennessee vs. Carolina, Jacksonville; 2014 San Francisco vs. Seattle Report: Looney is a similar type of player in what they had in Mackenzy Bernadeau, given his athletic ability and position flexibility. He has lined up at center and guard during his NFL career. Belly-to-belly blocker that likes to get tight to his man in order to control him. One knock against him is that he tends to play upright and a little stiff. There’s not much knee bend or flex. He plays with a wide base when it comes to pass protection. He plays with some upper body power and strength, and this allows him to hold his man in place. He also shows some punch and power in his hands. When Looney gets his hands inside, he can be tough to disengage from in this position. There are snaps where his hands get outside the frame of the defender and it will put him in a terrible blocking position. Like Bernadeau, he’s not the smoothest athlete when it comes to getting to the second level. He’s often out of balance and left trying to adjust in space. If he gets close to his man, he has enough power to push him past the play. He can position block all day when he’s one-on-one and he can keep the defender tight. One thing I’ll say for him is that he has really nice awareness to help in the pocket when he is uncovered. As a center, he showed more initial quickness but had his troubles when he had to execute back blocks. Against Seattle in 2014, the opposing defensive linemen were just too fast up the field for him to get in front. He was beaten badly to his off-hand side for a penetration. However, he was aware to adjust to the blitz. He wasn’t fooled by the game upfront and was able to make the correct read. Bottom line: this is a limited athlete that plays with power and smarts. I liked him better as a guard than center but the fact that he can do both helps this team’s situation.

11-2 Bobcats

McFadden, Morris and Dunbar. Backfield looks complete. This pretty much eliminates drafting a RB in the early rounds.

HJ 9 Orangefield 8

If it happened the way you describe, the correct call is out. Why would it not be an out?
-
Does anyone have the name of the umpire?
-
I sure hope not. I really hope the DC at Cameron gets the AD/head coaching job.

this is a great story. Great job by the yankee's organization. [Hidden Content]

Thanks for the pictures Adminbaberuth. It wasn't finishedthe last time I saw it.

Adminbaberuth, can you post some pictures of Cameron's new field?

There is a report on yahoo.com, that Manziel didn't have a concussion. The article says that Manziel showed up to a practice drunk. The Browns made up the concussion story to keep it out of the news. [Hidden Content]
