A-Rod makes $29mil a year because there are millions of fans that are still entertained by baseball enough to pour billions into the sport. They can drive ticket and merchandise prices up and the fans will still pay out. I don’t think the same can be said for the USWNT. It’s unfortunate because they are truly fun to…
A guy I used to work with would “contribute” a case of Shock Top to every work function knowing full well nobody else would drink it.

Two different coaching/management regimes have given Despres a chance and he couldn't get it done under either. I don't think it's the greatest trade but I wouldn't go so far as to say the deal blows. Ben Lovejoy at a minimum brings experience. Despres brings more inconsistency than it's worth.
