Random Notes

Awesome:  Some British guy just won $2 million on a ONE DOLLAR BET

Not Awesome:  Brad Lidge just hurt the same knee that he had surgery on last year throwing batting practice in Spring Training today.

Smart:  The Brewers are looking to sign Ryan Braun to a long-term deal.  As noted in the article linked by Doogan yesterday, Ryan Howard’s arbitration coup may change the landscape of young players and their contracts for a long time.

Not Smart:  The Bears are bringing back “Sexy Rexy”

Fantastic:  Commissioner Goodell is not giving The Pacman any breaks.

Not Fantastic:  The Eagles Mike Patterson just got arrested for marijuana possession.

Obvious:  This just in:  according to MLB.com, the Phillies are “aiming to be better in ’08.”  WOW!  I have to say there are probably only a handful of teams in the entire league that are “aiming to be better” this year.  Crack journalism at its finest!

Not So Obvious:  As fun as these NBA trades are, and trust me they are great, we sometimes forget that these are real people getting “shipped off” to completely different cities.  Yes, they make a ton of money to play a game and it comes with the territory, but this blog entry by Tyson Chandler is really, really good and shows the human side of professional athletes and their families.  It’s a good read.
