Random Fire 8/3/12
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone. One of the key themes of the trade deadline as it always is was the 10/5 clause that allows players with at least 10 years of MLB service and the last 5 with the same team to veto any trade. I despise this clause with a passion.…

Random Fire For July 9th
The Cubs have signed their 1st round draft pick, Albert Almora, along with almost all of their draft picks, at least through the 1st 20 rounds or so. I think it is safe to say that the arrow is finally pointing up for the Cubs after a few down years lately. Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro,…

In 10 years, will we be able to recognize the game of football? Will professional wrestling look anything like it does today? Will the NBA crack down on hard fouls that send players crashing to the court? Will MLB stop being ridiculous and actually dole out real punishments when pitchers hit a batter in the…

Peyton Manning deserves better
I have no problem with the Colts deciding to part ways with Peyton Manning. $28M is a lot of money to pay someone to play football after having so many neck surgeries. However, Peyton Manning deserved to have this process handled so much differently. There was no reason for comments like “his arm is…
