  1. I was fortunate enough to meet him and Buzz Aldrin. They were both completely class acts and I was in geek heaven. Be well, Mr. Armstrong!
  2. Gonzalez has 6-years of his $154 million contract left. He's the only one of the three that is any good....but he's also 30. Beckett 2-years and $31.5 million. Carl Crawford - 5-years of his laughable $142 million left. You couldn't make that up! Even if the Red Sox eat half of that as part of the trade....it's still a disaster. Here are next year's potential Free Agents. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/?page_id=177
  3. They might have a parade if they can just get rid of Beckett. haha http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1061155579&srvc=rss
  4. While I think it's funny....that is a godawful trade for the Dodgers. Something McCourt would have made if he actually had any money. Red Sox fans might have a parade (I know several of my family (we still love them! haha) would be there!) if they can get rid of both Beckett and Crawford....and their bloated contracts. One guy who can't seem to pitch anymore and another who has been pretty much a bust since signing with the Red Sox....and that's before the Tommy John surgery, which will lead to at least missing half of next season.
  5. I think everyone was expecting a white wash, or something that passed the buck as much as possible. Instead it was something that could end up costing Penn St. $500 - $700 million or more. It's already cost $72+ million between the fine and cost of the investigation and 12-years worth of games. If Freeh screwed up the investigation....he definitely didn't help Penn St. in doing so. He ended up with a lot more information than the NCAA (which doesn't have subpoena powers) would have ever come across. Freeh also shared all that information with prosecutors.....which is really what the Paternos, Spanier and the rest are worried about....since the prosecutors and the victims attorneys might have never found about things if they didn't know what they were looking for.
  6. They officially banned him for life and vacated 14-years of his career.
  7. I think that has to do with people not really caring at this point. As well as most everyone thinks he and everyone in competitive cycling is on or were on something....and it's really not that big of a sport in the U.S. The only time the majority paid attention is during the Tour de France and an American had a chance.
  8. I don't think anyone really takes the UCI seriously. Not with the amongst other things the bribes or "donations" by amongst others Armstrong himself. The WADA already made it clear they back the USADA. http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/12586/WADA-backs-USADAs-jurisdiction-in-ArmstrongUSPS-doping-investigation.aspx They might have go down to 3-10th place finishers to find someone.

  13. Posnanski was/is a "Saint" Paterno shill. Try checking Penn St's record before (hell, just check from 1993.) and shortly after the real reason Penn St. became a powerhouse and was known as Linebacker U "retired." after the 1999 Alama Bowl game....the same Bowl game if I am not mistaken that the pedophile raped one of his victims. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Paterno Oh yeah, the guy who originally matriculated to that sub par University that is Brown to be a lawyer didn't even know what sodomy meant amongst other things. Posnanski has been a complete embarrassment with regards to the "Saint" since the whole thing first became public.
  14. Peter Cooper (who had one of the great WTF? beards.) John McAllister Schofield Ambrose Burnside
  15. I will eventually remember this place for whatever reason has the delete button where the edit button should be I don't know about beaten. He was arrested/carried/dragged off for who knows what since this is edited. http://youtu.be/OZvCfMU9vTM
