Winston Legthigh

Looks safe.

Latest Los Lobos album was released today. Includes a cover of West LA Fadeaway...

I think that this is the last year for rookies to cash in. Supposedly the league is going to put the kibosh on the practice of making every new year's #1 draftee the highest paid player in the league. Seems prudent.

Modano to sign with Wings. Good 3rd line center pick up for Wings.

I think this roster rearrangement is the most change I've seen a team go through from one year to the next. I think their plan is to stick Huet in the minors, so that his $5 mil+ salary doesn't hit their cap. Their 3rd and 4th lines will consist entirely of guys who were in their farm system a year ago, and who will all be making close to the league minimum.

Blackhawks part ways with Niemi, replace him with Turco. Not sure how Bowman justifies keeping Hjalmarsson at $3mil+, (he's at best their #4 defenseman) but dumps their starting goalie for $2.75mil...

Jesus, Don.

OK, so what's the hold-up with Bradford signing? Lions need Suh in camp ASAP, and he won't sign until Bradford does. I assume that's the case for the rest of the 1st rounders?

What he said. It's not as if the team said "We want to pay you $10 mil." and the player responded "No no no no. Give me $5.5 mil instead. YOU keep the rest."

He owes it to the players union to get as much as he can. I'm sure Oakland had an insurance policy on the contract.

I still don't understand why it's bothering you. Reporter: Hey Jeremy. You're a free agent at the end of the season. What are your plans? Jeremy: I don't know. I'd like to re-sign with the Tigers, but then plan B would be sign with a team close to my home in Washington. If neither of those options happen, I'm strongly considering retiring. What is so difficult about that?

Well no. I wouldn't be upset in either situation. If Bonderman can get a deal from the Tigers, good for him. Why would I get upset?

I don't understand the analogy, because I don't think the Sox looked like fools for giving Schilling a 1 year deal. If Bonderman was the hero of two world series, I would hope the Tigers would give him a contract for life, regardless of his health.

Like, VD? Or are you assuming I'm Mike Ilitch?

Bonderman has a free pass for life from this Tigers fan for the way he pitched the Yankees in the 2006 playoffs. That was an awesome weekend for me. I saw the Black Keys in Amsterdam Friday night, then spent the rest of the night in a coffeeshop watching Kenny "dirty palm" Rogers beat the Yankees that night, and Bonderman pitching a game 4 gem the next night to win the series. The following weekend I met my wife. I was on a roll.

Dammit. My keyboard doesn't have that functionality. Besides, I wouldn't make the offer. I'd be getting ripped off on a cheaper version of Hitler Skitler.

no problem. Tit for tat. I'm going to put the value of your album somewhere in between $5 - $250,000. You can expect a firm offer in that range.

ah. But I still want to know...

Selective quoting will do that.

Ouch. Really? I was considering paying the fee to join their fan-club to get access to better tix, but then I was worried that the fee might go directly to Neil Diamond. I really want to see this show though...

I just want to know why, in any of the dreams, nobody started flying, nobody was suddenly naked and self-aware, nobody was late for a final exam that they never studied for, and there were no boobs. None.
