The line is drawn by the market, usually, but I am not sure how contracts signed this cap-less year will be handled under a new salary cap structure. It would be interesting (and perhaps ruinous) to see star players all of a sudden demand en masse to have their contracts redone for more money.

I like both Shelleyann Orphan and Missing Foundation.

I dunno. Considering the brief length of NFL careers and the potential for debilitating life-ruining injury, I don't blame these dudes for getting everything they can.

Of all the songs I have heard so far, I like "Ready to Start" the best.

Why do you hate the free market? If someone tried to cock-block you from making millions, would you not be upset?

Fuck the following: Luis Castillo Oliver Perez Fred Wilpon Jeff Wilpon Omar Minaya Jerry Manuel Howard Johnson :realmad

Man, what a beautiful beautiful place Fenway Park is.

So far, Jason Bay has been a bucket of shit, but Theo Epstein is much smarter than Omar Minaya.

What I have heard so far of it (via the XM) has not rocked my block.

How about that R.A. Dickey?

Caveat emptor. It's not like his arm problems were a state secret.

It's a free country. Dude don't wanna pitch, no one can make him.

Aww. Twisted Sister was the first rock concert I ever went to! \m/

Carl's arguments were reminiscent of the arguments against wearing a condom.

Amen, brother. I will put in a vote for Big Audio Dynamite's Megatop Phoenix.

Yeah, when I watched that Braves-Mets game I was like, "That kid is going to get fired for playing like this."

I think I am going to start calling my newspaper "The Paper that Dares to be Dumb."

Continuing the Cosmos' tradition of bringing declining stars to New York, the Red Bulls have signed Thierry Henry.

Being a sports fan is absurd on many, even most, levels.

And the Rangers too!

Actually, no wait - he is the Emporer Palpatine!

No, he is Satan!

NEW YORK (AP) -- World Cup television viewership rose 41 percent over four years ago for English-language telecasts in the United States, with Spain's 1-0 overtime victory over the Netherlands setting a record for a men's soccer game. Sunday's game in Johannesburg, which gave the Spanish their first World Cup title, was seen by 15,545,000 viewers on ABC, according to fast national ratings. The previous high was 14,863,000 viewers for the United States' 2-1 overtime loss to Ghana in the second round on June 26. An additional 8,821,000 million viewers watched Spanish-language coverage Sunday

Congratulations! That was cute how they got their brand-new jerseys with the star on them at the end. Truly, the better team won Sunday.

God, I hope not. The hubris these three are displaying make the Yankees look like Mohandas K. Gandhi.
