This link groups Wichita and Gonzaga together — you know, the same Wichita you just admitted was a mid-major.

But doesn’t “mid major” refer to actual conference, not an individual school?

It’s almost like there are better funded mid-major teams than others!

They’re the first mid-major team to make the Final Four since Wichita State in 2013.

Public places can get loud at times, it’s true. HOWEVER...

The real vilian here is not the red herring, Craig. It’s clearly the parents of Austyn for the spelling of the name they assigned their progeny.

It only takes one person to sit there worrying about the volume while everyone else has a good time.

Everyone should sit quietly on their phones while in public....got it. thx

Did...did this really need its own article?

Below value compared to what? The market is the market. I get that it sucks for guys who expected the market to be better than this based on recent history, but the league is quickly realizing that players peak younger and younger and that paying for past performance is mostly dumb.

So.. he turned down $17m. He was offered more than $12m. The $12m he’s getting is only slightly less than a standard $/WAR calculation. His one year salary is higher than the average annual salary of his previous contract...

I think this is more the draft pick being attached to him than anything. The collusion theory isn’t holding up hugely well, as a lot of guys are getting pretty big deals, just later than usual. You gotta ask yourself what contract you’d want your team to sign Moose at if you know you’re giving up a high draft pick too.

That’s about $130 million in revenue, this season and in future seasons, even before they start playing baseball.

You sound like a joy to be around

Good point. The Rays have always been pretty straight forward about their approach. They’re going to try their best to be competitive by building a home grown team, and when it works great, when it doesn’t, oh well. The Marlins on the other hand rotate between spending tons of money and having fire sales. It’s very…

Probably because it sounds extremely similar to Pyeongchang and none of those do? 

Yes. Why P.F. CHANG for the PyongCHANG Olympics instead of Popeye’s? The world is filled with impenetrable mysteries.

Pick your poison:

You don’t need the Patriots to win. You need to grow up.

not a pats fan but these Anti-pats articles are getting tired. Maybe someone on your staff can have an original thought?
