    When Wilks gets fired.....

    ...(this is a humorous fantasy)... After the Cardinals hire Lemmy Kilmister (RIP), new GM Mike Holmgren willl surround Lemmy with football-savvy people, so that Lemmy's only job is to stand on the sideline and make opposing coaches wet their pants when they see the lead singer of Motorhead...

    Kansas @ ASU

    I agree, but Vendy is 7-2. Not like we lost to Texas Southern. But the SOS is now at 27 and RPI at 16, so I guess it's close. Every team in the PAC 12 will be going after ASU now. Those who can sniff a tournament selection will want a boost in RPI now that the Devils beat a #1 team.

    You’re giving Keim more credit than he deserves.

    To be fair to Steve, he's much better at a different kind of "Draft." :cheers:

    Could Wilks save his job with wins against the Rams and Hags?

    What's the deal with Gila River Arena?

    Puckhead nailed it like a Mike Gartner slap shot. To add some color, there are a few people/things central to the Yotes move from Winnipeg, and how it came unglued. 1. Steven Gluckstern & Richard Burke 2. John Spano & Alan Eagleson 3. Steve Ellman 4. The Goldwater Institute Prelude: The...

    2018/19 Hot Stove League

    Earlier reports said LA had an "agreement in principle" with Harper subject to some minor details. I wonder if this trade was one of them? More recent reports say LA is balking at a 10-year deal, but might pony up more cash for a shorter term. The Puig trade to Cincy...weird. He's going from...

    Cardinals Finally Get Moxey!

    Right, and they weren't wanting Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, or Big Ben anyway. 'Cause they were already stacked at QB with McCown and Shaun King. By now, even most diehards have to confess the Cardinals suck this year. Worse than most seasons. Through bad coaching, injuries, sheer...

    2018/19 Hot Stove League

    To make things tougher for the DBs, the Padres signed Ian Kinsler and are kicking the tires with Ahmed, Rockies signed Daniel Murphy, and Descalso signed with the Cubs. Alsdo rumors going around that the Giants are in the Realmuto mix.

    ICYMI: Raanta goes on IR

    Sounds like Raanta is gone for the year: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2018/12/pacific-notes-raanta-kovalchuk-russell-larsson.html

    Evaluating James Jones as acting GM

    I think LeBron James Jones is doing an exceptional job, as reflected in the Suns' entry on BBRef: :mrgreen::sarcasm::mrgreen:

    The Diamondbacks “are confident” they be able to trade Greinke. Aka the Grienke trade tracker thread

    Offense and defense. Look at some of the better gloves gone from the team--Goldy, Pollock, Owings, Descalso, Jon Jay is a FA. Move Marte into CF and you have no full-time 2B on the roster from '18. Move Lamb to 1B--do you trust Escobar full time at 3B? None of this translates into a...

    Sarver is threatening to move the Suns to Seattle or Las Vegas

    Talking Stick ain't exactly "South Scottsdale." Anyway, I doubt those names have any cachè with the tribe. There's another thread in the DBs section about the vagaries of moving to a reservation. Ask Billy Bowtie how that turned out.

    Per Woj - Suns waiving Rivers

    I thought taking on Rivers was just to balance out Ariza's $15MM salary. The real interest was in Oubre. OTOH, why not just keep Rivers if you have to eat his salary anyway. Unless.he was coin to be more locker room poison .

    ASU sweeps Colorado College last weekend in Tempe, including a hay trick by Johnny Walker (not the Scotch). Devils now #13 nationally

    Suns @ Knickerbockers 12-17-18

    That's what Cotton Fitzsimmons called "extensive garbaģe" time. When the game is in the ol' deep freeze and the bench came in. Kempton oughtta remember that--he was one of them!

    2018/19 Hot Stove League

    The cash included in a deal...I tried to find a couple in baseball. Only came up with A-Roid being traded to the Yanks and Babe Ruth being traded to the Yanks so Harry Frazee could fund a Broadway musical he liked. Non-baseball examples of course include Gretzky to the Kings, and Dr. J getting...

    2018/19 Hot Stove League

    ^----I think we need to admit we won't get another Greinke in return. The big issue will be monetary relief. The longer they wait, the more cash they'll have to include. Plus, a number of arms they assumed would be gone in the Vegas meeting gs are still aroind. What if those teams are thinking...

    2018/19 Hot Stove League

    I've been thinking about this and I'm not sure it's the best idea. Consider: 1. Greinke KNOWS he'll be traded. He'll make half his normal salary. What incentive does he have to play well? Might as well conserve the arm. 2. Other teams know he will be traded. What incentive do they have to make...

    Cardinals mulling sweeping changes: GM Steve Keim could join Raiders, head-coach search likely

    Plenty of names to debate here: https://insidethepylon.com/nfl/front-office/2018/12/10/2019-nfl-general-manager-candidate-study/ Jeff Ireland's name caught my eye.

    2018 Sun Devils Football Report Card

    They beat 2 ranked teams when they were supposed to be a doormat. The coach-as-CEO experiment worked. This year. Next year should be a more run oriented offense. Eno was 3rd team AA. B.

    2018/19 Hot Stove League

    MLBTR reported during the Winter meetings that the DB's brass thought Greinke would be worth more at the trade deadline with all the starters on the market right now. Pirates already interested in Ahmed. There are a couple of guys named Peralta. Don't be confused.
