Tarasenko is going to take up quite a bit of that $13mil next year. I understand what your saying but I do think Brouwer will fit with the Blues system pretty well but they are thinking about the future. No way they could keep Oshie Steen and Shattenkirk two years from now each of their salaries are going to climb…

I watch quite a bit of Blues hockey; as good as Oshie is, there are other guys that they need cap space for. Tarasenko, Shattenkirk, and Steen all have to remain on that team more than Oshie

Hopefully he didn’t bet on himself in the last Ryder Cup

In fairness, Josh Donaldson and Nelson Cruz do deserve it more. I’d be fine with it if it was all for fun, but some players do have bonuses included for All Star appearances. Not sure if Donaldson or Cruz have that, but it makes me want the players who deserve it the most to be starting

If only Giancarlo could hit some dingers...think of the bonus time he would get

.

Oh, and he also perfected the goal-line leap

I never argued that one bit. But all it does is make them look like self-important douchebags which warrants the North Korean-esque comparisons. If they didn’t want that type of reputation they would change. Rights don’t cover reputations

There’s supposed to be an element of chance in a jump ball. The ball is tipped toward the direction of someone but it’s hard to control exactly who gets it. If someone just caught it that element would be eliminated

It is within the press’ rights to ask why women haven’t been admitted and when they duck the question like they did then their sexism is pretty obvious. They are allowed to conduct private matter however they want, just as the writer is allowed to accurately call them the equivalent of North Korea.

What kind of person does Tom Watson have to be to rat someone out for saying the green plays like it has bikini wax on it?

I agree with the rules aspect. If you don’t want people’s phones out and you want them to sit or stand in certain areas I’ll respect that. But ducking women entry til 2012 is pretty fucking terrible

“Go crazy, folks. Go crazy.”

Yeah I just didn't have a good feeling that whole game for some reason. Vandy got to our #1 pitcher today and we couldn't match with the bats

As an Illinois baseball fan and student, fuck Dansby Swanson

I don't think his plus-minus was necessarily indicative of what his strong suit was. I don't know how many O rebounds he had but I know he didn't make a field goal the whole game. He was basically getting the board and handing it to LeBron. I'm not saying give him the MVP or anything but I think he's a great offensive…

Some love needs to be thrown Tristan Thompson’s way this article as well. I know he basically didn’t score at all this game, but he is one of the best offensive rebounders I’ve ever seen

Monfils has great speed but I think his footwork getting around shots needs a little work. I don't think he'd be able to hit that shot Djoke did when Nadal lifted it over his head
