    Juan Soto: 15 years, $765 MM with the Mets (not the Yankees)

    They luckily have data that shows which home runs and compares different parks. There is a twitter page called "Would it Dong" that also tells you every homer and if it would have left the yard in other stadiums. His home run total at yankee stadium vs Citi Field were within 1. One other thing...

    Post Mortem, Oregon 45, Penn State 37

    10000% on Warren. Some of his route running looked really slow. He looked tired and sluggish at times. It has been a long year of him carrying the offense and it is wearing him down. He needs the rest and I am sure he will get it the next 2 weeks. After that the games are every 8-10 days so...

    End the season winning a bowl game or losing a first-round playoff game?

    Warren - definitely not Singleton - definitely not Carter - definitely not Allen - probably not Allar - he is the only maybe / could return but if I was him it would be less about my NIL and more about what weapons you can put around me in 2025. I wouldn’t come back with the same crew minus...

    Who is rooting for Ohio State on Saturday

    Only chance PSU has at the 5 seed is Michigan winning and PSU losing to Oregon in the big ten championship game in a tight contest.

    The downside of 1st round games on campus...

    Here is another way to look at it....playoff teams going to the BIG 6 bowl games in the quarter finals, semi finals, etc.....does anyone really think they are going to be spending a day at Universal, having steak eating compeitions at a fancy steakhouse with the other team? These trips are...

    2022 Phillies Thread

    Phillies can’t just sit still now, since the Turner signing Steve Cohen has gone scorched earth and I am not so sure he is done. We can’t forget that we finished 14 games behind the Braves and Mets over quite a large sample size and can’t guarantee a couple weeks of getting hot at the right...

    PSU Football: Do you demand excellence or are you satisfied with mediocrity?

    A lot of fans view PSU as an elite program and are pissed we aren’t there right now. When in the past have we ever been elite for a longer run than a year or 2????? Michigan is another arrogant fan base who think they are better than they are and what they have actually done. They have 1/2 a...

    There were two "must have" defensive coordinators available last year

    This and PSU got dramatically better from game 1 to game 12 on defense, Ohio State defense had the same issues in game 12.

    What bowl for PSU, info and speculation thread

    Unless there is a deal behind closed doors for the Buckeyes to goto the Orange since they haven’t been there in quite some time which would open up the Rose Bowl, PSU is heading to the NY6 Cotton to play the Tulane / CFU winner. There are no other options on the table. Now if there is chaos...

    Mets agree to another Bobby Bonilla type contract

    The Bonilla contract was created because they were doing so well with Madoff. It was before the debacle. I think the events went as follows… -Bonilla wasn’t happy and distraction and also playing poorly. -He had 5.9 million left on contract -They sent him packing in 2000 -They agreed to the...

    Mets agree to another Bobby Bonilla type contract

    I don’t think the Mets are gonna make a big offer to deGrom. I folllow the hot stove pretty closely and Cohen’s group doesn’t leak much but there hasn’t been much Mets and deGrom chatter. For a team who has seen his Medicals in great detail over the last couple years for a pitcher turning 35...

    Mets agree to another Bobby Bonilla type contract

    People don’t realize there are a ton of these deals out there and Bonilla is the most famous but he was far from the first. Mets obviously have all the money in the world but this is a luxury tax move. It lessened the hit on luxury tax.

    Was it really that close?

    Look I was really excited watching that game yesterday and was fooled into thinking we had a chance yet again. My question is why Ryan Day didn’t throw the ball downfield with tempo from the start. They did first drive and then went super conservative for the next 3 quarters. I think Ryan Day...

    Does CJF need another "signature win" in order to keep his job?

    Oh I agree but I remember looking at the schedule in 2016, thinking they could easily lose every game the rest of the way. One of the biggest differences is the QB. That was Trace first month of starting, we have Clifford who has started 1000 games now. If a 2016 bounce back is to happen, it...
