even though it doesn't make sense for Griffey in this case but can you imagine if he was sent to the Yankees?
He might have been big in Seattle but in New York...holy freaking shit I don't think he would be able to walk in that city without people getting down on their knees and worshipping him like a god lol.
Thanks Chip. See ya later!
Man, wish I was getting drunk in DT Seattle. Love that city, the women, the people
. Miss the Sonics badly :'(. And remember don't eat eat the big mint in the restroom "Roadhouse reference "Ninja Scooter

Griffey said he'd never play for the Yankees because said they mistreated his dad when he was a player. Closest contender at that time to his home in Florida was the Braves. He basically asked for a trade from the M's because he wanted to go to a contender but that didn't work out so well.

I'm pretty sure he didn't want to play for the Yankees. He pretty much only wanted to go to Atlanta of Cincinnati which kind of fucked Seattle because they had no leverage in a trade. They got some highly regarded dudes still, but none of them ever really became stars.
Also I believe the Yankees had Bernie Williams, who while not as good as Griffey was well regarded by Yankees fans (then again they're Yankees fans).
What great talents surround Andrew Luck?
None whatsoever!!
Is Shanahan gonna sign wide receivers that aren't garbage besides Benjamin?
Oh really? I wasn't aware of that. About his dad I mean. Good for Griffey though for sticking to his principles.
I also loved Bernie as well. He had a concert in my local area lol.

Actually statistically Mike Cameron was a more valuable player for Seattle over the next 4 years as a Mariner than Griffey was for Cincy. They ended up making out pretty well in that trade, and also the Randy Johnson trade, where they got Freddy Garcia and Carlos Guillen
No, that's on Gettleman. I wouldn't be opposed to spending another fist rounder on a WR (this WR class looks to be just as deep as last season's). Don't think any good OTs will be around at #25.
Just because we didn't have great players doesn't mean the play calling wasn't shit most of the year.
it boggles the mind why Shula stopped calling plays to him.
I saw what happened when it aired live. What they did wasn't illegal. It's just a trick that works if the referees don't have time to clearly announce that a specific player is ineligible.
The official did say he was ineligible, but he only had time to point and faintly say it before the ball was snapped. The Pats relied on time and the lack of sophistication that exists when announcing an ineligible receiver to confuse Baltimore's linebackers.
I hope they build a statue of him outside of Safeco Field!!
A big bronze bust... of him sleeping in the clubhouse during a team meeting :')
Yeah I agree. Living here I've watched a ton of Panthers games this year. They are all over the place. I don't think Ron is a very good coach but until they have a shit season he'll be there.
They need to start and feature Stewart next year. Fuck DeAngelo.

If Marty Schottenheimer can get fired after going 14-2, all options should be on the table.
With Woody on the helm thats never happening. The Jets will forever be in a vicious cycle of losing and cicus like atmosphere as long as Woody Johnson os the owner of that team
I don't care how unlikely it is, but I better see Griffey getting 100% of the votes.
Also I will always remember playing this game:
Used to play that one all the time.
I was great with Kenny Loften lol.

If you wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man.
Take care of business tomorrow, Pack, and then go fucking get it.

DeAngelo will be a post-June 1 cap cut. He was essentially phased out of the offense over the last 6-8 weeks. He had a total of 8 touches in 2 playoff games. Stewart will be the bellcow back next season with Fozzy and Tolbert sprinkled in.
I'm not sure Ron is a good coach either, but he seems to have the players respect. I can only hope he gets better with more and more experience. But he absolutely needs to find a more competent OC. I weep knowing that Ron interviewed Hue Jackson for the vacant position two offseasons ago and ended up elevating Shula anyway.
We have, it's called Sonic threads.

I think Vladimir Guerrero's son just got onto a team in the league (forget if it was by trade or signing)
Where the fuck has the time gone
I'm not your friend, friend.
The Pats deserved to beat the Ravens today. Flacco choked in the second half, and the Ravens secondary was exposed against Gronk. Brady made a nice throw for the go-ahead TD. I don't understand why those things can't be true while also talking about the exploits Belichick used to get his TEs and FBs open in the seam.
Also, the cheating of the early 2000s doesn't have anything to do with the Pats coming back today. It does have something to do with the way the Patriots were worshipped on the broadcast. It does have something to do with the fact that their accomplishments and records are trotted out to the viewing public without any mention to the proven, undeniable cheating that assisted the Patriots on their way to three Super Bowl titles.
As long as Belichick and Brady participate and enjoy the fanfare of those ill-gotten titles, I feel the viable and massively suppressed argument against those accomplishments deserves mention. I think that's a fair stance to take.
Yes. I agree that Belichick's methods to win against the Ravens were "ethically dubious."
I feel their past cheating was not as dubious. Their past cheating was flagrantly illegal.
I think we can all agree on this distinction.
I like you
I'm okay with this.
Jeter was top 10 in the MVP standings two years ago according to this so I will disagree good sir!
