Lol until he’s suspended for roids……again, or hurt…….again, or has beef with his coach……again…….or decides to sit while healthy……again. Other than that, his age, and the salary cap, this should work.

Excluding a scenario where Netflix stock price crashes pre-acquisition, can you explain how Disney would acquire Netflix and pay a traditional premium to Netflix shareholders? Can you cite some recent examples of large cap mergers where the acquisition target had a larger market cap than the buyer?

I for one am glad AI seems to be progressing more slowly than predicted. Posts like this make me far less concerned about Skynet.

It’s definitely a tough break and I can’t really fault the Yankees for paying Judge. He is a legitimately good player. Yes he swings and misses too much but so does 95% of the league. The guy is a good OF, a good leader and obviously a producer. He is exceedingly rare as a homegrown Yankee and wasn’t really overhyped at the start. Their problem is they have so many bad decisions that all their good ones are rolled up into one player. They put lipstick on their pig with big $ free agents and splash trades but they NEED one piece of stability. They could not let him walk. You're a Mets fan right? Ugh. But at least they have a few prospects in the pipeline and have produced some well rounded players like McNeil in the last decade.

For a guy who constantly trashes the Bills, it sure is weird that you think the Yankees are a well run organization. The balanced schedule, huh? Ok. It’s not that the teams in large markets spend 4 billion a year. Got it. That’s got nothing to do with it. For Pete’s sake, the Guardians and the Brewers have developed more starting pitchers in the last 10 minutes than the Yankees have in 10 years. But maybe this will be Brien Taylor’s year. The Reds have and will have called up more solid players this year than the Yankees have since Jeter debuted. Too bad the Yankees didn’t get Bryan Reynolds and tell him to swing for the fences every time. Rest assured that the Cardinals will be back on solid ground with a balanced team well before the Yankees stop being the Dallas Cowboys on a limitless budget. Jordan Walker isn’t a good prospect? Why? Because he doesn’t run home for spaghetti on Wednesdays like Anthony Volpe? The Yankees prospects, now and for quite a while have either been overhyped…..Jasson Dominguez……traded…..or ruined like Volpe. But don’t worry….Josh Donaldson will save you. They have a lot of money. I get it. But they are woefully hopeless against teams that do thing right like Tampa who operate on a shoestring budget comparatively speaking. Do you honestly think the Yankees are doing right by Volpe having him play and do stupid things like bunting down 2 with an out in the books late in a game? That’s the way to run a team? It was certainly entertaining. I laughed. But that kid better get in his endorsement money from Prego quick or hope they trade him for a shiny object.

Do you think it’s possible that Bader declined and was easily replaced by Nootbaar is because of the Yankees superior organization? Shirley. What starting pitchers have developed with the Yankees over the last 10 or so years that have had viable careers? Who are you even bragging about? Michael King? That team is constantly going out and buying names that inevitably crap out. At least Cole is better than the turds the Mets bought but still. What do you get when you throw three sliders two feet outside the zone to Stanton? A strikeout, that’s what. At times they draft pretty well. I think Volpe has talent for example but he’ll turn out to be not much because the Yankees are rushing him because he’s Italian like a lot of their fan base. They’re teaching him genius moves like bunting late in the game with one out down two runs. Lol. They need him in MLB to keep the fan base wolves at bay while they have crap results. Meanwhile the superior Pereza is in AAA. We’ve been patient with Jordan Walker. Let’s check back in three years to see how this turns out. Matthew Liberatore will develop. Which Yankee starter will? Waino and Flaherty have had great careers with the Cardinals. Who was the last Yankee to have the majority of his career at home after developing with the Yankees? Andy Pettitte? In 1972? You’re getting curb stomped by the Rays every year and now Baltimore. You’ll keep chasing your tails signing big names for a billion dollars for years to come. The Cards will re-set, even though it may take longer than I’d like. Don’t worry though, Ohtani will save you. Lol. I will agree that losing Judge is a tough break no doubt. He is the exception to the Yankees rule of poor player development. I’ll also agree that the Cards have done their share of acquiring outsiders but they have been class acts like Goldie and Arenado, not morons like Stanton and Donaldson.

You should definitely be the GM. Beane probably never watches football or pays attention to detail like you.

Shirley. Dawkins probably won’t even get one sack on Tua.

Watching the Yankees play my underperforming Cards has given me some thankfulness. We are down this year but it’s through some bad breaks some guys just not having good years. At least we still have a well run organization. The Yankees are literally playing this guy named Anthony Volpe who is CLEARLY not ready for. MLB. Just today he almost threw one away on an easy play where he lost a pop in the sun, then he stupidly sac bunted with one out in the 7th down two runs. He needs more time in the minors but the Yankees will ruin him because their fan base likes guys with Italian names. They are a joke.

I watched the Marlins play Thursday night. Arraez went 0-3. Dude can’t hit.

Is Ukka Pukka Sambuca under contract?

It is like a flimsy book. They used to have them about all sorts of topics but now they are just celebrity gossip and porn. Sometimes those two overlap. Anyway I don’t understand why they’d target the internet to stop porn and leave these magazine and DVD hooligans alone. It’s not like there is a lot of porn on the internet is there? Online porn? Like raunchy music videos on YouTube?

It’s about stuff on the internet, not porn. I’m not sure if it applies to magazine stands where porn is sold.

Shirley you don’t think that reporters wouldn’t have kept pulling at that thread regardless of what McD said or didn’t say.

Facebook entry highlights meaningless superficial factors? Let me guess, the #1 stadium features a sushi bar, cappuccino delivered right to your heated seat with a built in screen where you can take a selfie and post it to Facebook…..and a crappy football team that no one in the stands actually gives a crap about.

You hush up. The narrative here is that we missed our chance to get Sean Payton. At least Ben Johnson is still available and some people think he is really cute.

Nick Sirianni next on the chopping block? Shanahan?

Because you were spoiled as a child? Because you have an inability to grasp reality? Because you’ve watched too many movies and expect a perfect ending to everything always? Because you’re trolling? There are probably other options out there but a combination of the above has a 99.782% chance of being the cause.

Like Pegula?

I think the Eagles are seemingly the most obvious choice and I think the 49ers are probably the second choice. I don’t like the 49ers because Purdy is assumed to be a very good QB but IMO that is faaaaaaaaaar from certain. Lance could be the the redeemer but is also far from certain. I think it’s boring to just say Eagles in a walk so I think I’ll say the Lions challenge them and the Panthers make a surprise run…..but the Eagles prevail.

But none of them achieved their goal. Are 80% of owners ignorant of the goal?

So not all 31 then?

F is for floating now?

Try mixing in a salad once in a while.

1. NFL eliminates the salary cap 2. Minnesota offers Jefferson straight up 3. Secret love letters to Kirk Cousins are found in Diggs locker Other than that, I think this thing is a go.
