As a Cardinals fan, it kills me the stupid-fan base cares so much about the money they spend. WHO CARES? The Cardinals are one of the most profitable franchises in the US regardless of sport. They can afford ANY free-agent they want, plus some. If they get hit with a bad contract (hello 2018 free agent signings minus…

It would be interesting to just kill draft and let everyone be free agents right away (though you’d need more revenue sharing). I don’t think that’s going to happen but MLBPA could at least be trying for a shorter team control period, or for emphasizing that arbitration should may a salary similar to what the player…

One of my major talking points on this blogsite for the last year or so has been how this is exactly what you get when you beg teams to not spend based on past performance...

The most amazing part is that the owners have gotten the fans to become so wrapped up in the logic of their penny pinching ways (“Well of course they shouldn’t spend that much money on players who hit free agency. They’d be paying for past production. This man is due for a regression.”) that they’ve lost track of the…

There is literally not one functioning brain in this administration. The only thing more shocking than the subterfuge, greed and corruption is how fucking BAD they all are at it.

I feel like this is even dumber. Mnuchin basically released a statement saying “everything is fine, everything is behaving exactly as we always said it does, critical components of our financial infrastructure aren’t doing wildly irresponsible things at all.” 

“I have asked the heads of our nation’s largest civil defense forces, and they assure me the have sufficient rakes on hand to beat back several waves of these giant poisonous spiders. Thank you.”

I’ve never seen a president whose actions could so easily, quickly, and directly effect the economy so negatively. I didn’t think it was even possible. It’s got to be some sort of record, but one of the ones Guinness doesn’t keep track of because they’re too dangerous, like being set on fire for the longest time.

Steve Mnuchin isn’t just a parasite, he’s an idiot. No one was talking about bank liquidity! Now, he’s said to the markets, “Don’t think about pink elephants!”

Ah, to be old enough to remember those halcyon days of nearly 12 weeks ago:

Don’t worry, Paul Ryan is going to be just fine. He’ll be able to make due on his $80K pension that we’re paying for.

If this is winning, I can’t wait to see what losing looks like.

Oopsie!

$615 in donations per month is money spent on cam girl websites, surely?

The option of leaving Syria, Turkey and Russian with a free hand to commit war crimes and genocide against the Kurds is not the option as a liberal I want to take.

Good god, it’s Trump face with Melania hair, and now I can’t unsee it.

It totally freaks me out that SHS is starting to look like Trump.

It’s almost like they forgot how the Constitution works. Or never knew. Wanna go home for the holidays despite the Tantrum in Chief’s behavior? Pretty simple stuff here.

Man, I was really hopeful when he got traded that he’d be able to sort out his life. The Patriots organization is usually the best at providing the proper structure and support to help players violate league rules without getting caught.  

Less reported is CBP/Border Patrol’s incredibly frustrating habit of destroying migrants’ belongings after they cross the border or turn themselves in at a port of entry. CBP will often literally just open someone’s backpack and dump everything inside in the trash. They don’t even bother with forfeiture, they just…
