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.
