It's a draft and that's how it works! You are supposed to be afforded the right to choose the best available player and they thought that was Yi. Any player who does not like how the draft works need not apply. I hate unproven players in any sport coming in making demands. The owners need to remind these players old and new who's signing those multi million dollar checks and take back control of their teams. The prisoners are running the asylum right now and while I'll always defend a player's right to get his money and etc. I'll also defend the people who've invested millions of dollars into owning a franchise. They should be able to make business decisions that are in the best interest of the business not an individual. While this individual may be bringing them millions, at the end of the day they are the one writing the checks so they shouldn't have to be bullied by their employees. That's how corporate America works and as much as we hate it, that's just how it is. It's easy for us as fans to say pay this guy or whatever, but at the end of the day the $20 million per year that they have invested in a player is not real to us. $20 million is real to the owners writing those checks. Think about having to pay someone $20 million real dollars all the while knowing that said player has more control over parts of your franchise than you. It's absurd, but that's where we are. I said all that to say Yi entered the draft and he should play for whomever drafted him.CoCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580418511916359036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-87563904456475522302007-07-18T16:46:00.000-04:002007-07-18T16:46:00.000-04:00http://loljocks.blogspot.com/2007/07/falcons-react...http://loljocks.blogspot.com/2007/07/falcons-react-to-michael-vicks.htmlCycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-40393631843194833302007-07-18T15:25:00.000-04:002007-07-18T15:25:00.000-04:00Send the s.o.b. to the real pen.Let a dog take him...Send the s.o.b. to the real pen.<BR/>Let a dog take him down.animal lover's loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260039463694474225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-65243536097390043232007-07-18T15:20:00.000-04:002007-07-18T15:20:00.000-04:00i think everyone in almost every industry can rela...i think everyone in almost every industry can relate to hating damn copy machines.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-63491929188248611382007-07-18T15:15:00.000-04:002007-07-18T15:15:00.000-04:00I wonder if the whole Mariners' organization is pa...I wonder if the whole Mariners' organization is paid like Ichiro...I want a housing allowance and vehicle along with my pay.

If he gets put in a state facility then he will be like the majority of inmates in prison black. Take it for what it is but in prison the people who are made bitches are pedophiles, rapists, and people who prey on the elderly. Jocks and people of some fame are left alone for the most part. Now if he goes to a Federal facility he is going to be among mostly white collar criminals who will respect him for his exploits on the field. <BR/><BR/>I was locked up for the better part of a year with a former Falcon Andre Johnson and that guy got whatever he wanted which was nice since he shared it with me and no one fucked with me since my bunky was 6'7 300 lbs of angry black man. <BR/><BR/>Didn't Vick get in trouble right before he got into college and if so does this count against him in his punishment netted out by the league? Maybe I am just confusing him with his brother. Either way I hope he gets a nice long sentence and an even longer punishment by the league.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-18316032349733426922007-07-18T13:55:00.000-04:002007-07-18T13:55:00.000-04:00remember when ESPN was forced to cancel "Playmaker...remember when ESPN was forced to cancel "Playmakers" cause the NFL was complaining it showed them in a bad light...good times.<BR/><BR/>btw, why no mention of the possible "playoffs" in college football? my only question about it is when would you play the +1 game? if it's after the regular schedule, the game could get buried by the NFL playoffsbkelly126https://www.blogger.com/profile/03831591199417893293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-19121118390211247322007-07-18T13:23:00.000-04:002007-07-18T13:23:00.000-04:00I think Vick's out of the NFL, for good.

I had never heard that stat before, but if true I think Vick is almost definitely done soon. Either way, his reputation is shot. Look at OJ.. technically he isn't a murderer but most people still think he did it. <BR/><BR/>As to this Yi thing.. agree with a previous poster that Stern should ban him from the NBA unless he changes his mind.

All the 11 riders were way behind so the top contenders were not worried. Five of them broke away from the other six at the end. Two Frenchmen crossed the line in a photo finish. Cedric Vasseur nipped Sandy Casar by about one centimeter - if that.<BR/><BR/>No big changes expected until Saturday's long time trial. Of the top nine guys in contention, American Levi Leipheimer along with Aussie Cadel Evans and German Andreas Kloeden at the top time trialists. Race leader Rasmussen is a great climber but in the time trial at the end of last year's tour he dropped from 3rd to 7th place after running off the road and damaging his bike. Still anyone's race among the top nine riders.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-5369228561830834122007-07-18T11:57:00.000-04:002007-07-18T11:57:00.000-04:00As a Syracuse fan, I was upset when Vick went to V...As a Syracuse fan, I was upset when Vick went to VT since he wanted to be the first Michael Vick and not the next Donovan McNabb.

The Conspiracy charges carry a max of six years in federal prison, right? Considering Vick doesn't have a serious criminal record, he'd still probably have to serve at least 18 months to two years if convicted (I'm guessing). <BR/><BR/>While I definitely am defense oriented, and will vehemently defend that someone is innocent until proven guilty, this seems pretty damning... If it were a local DA who was power hungry and would flat out lie (see Nifong, or most other DAs out there), then I'd be a lot more dismissive. But due to the costs of prosecuting in Federal Court, Federal prosecutors tend to be more thorough in creating a case to indict. That he's getting indicted in Federal Court on conspiracy charges will be pretty tough to shake assuming the evidence is fairly reliable. <BR/><BR/>And on a gut-level reaction, even worse than the dogfighting itself, the horrific details of the executions of some of the dogs was incredibly disturbing if true... I don't even like dogs, but I was blown away by that...ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-83099721828762139122007-07-18T11:35:00.000-04:002007-07-18T11:35:00.000-04:00Culpepper in Atlanta?!?!Yeah, because the Culpeppe...Culpepper in Atlanta?!?!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, because the Culpepper-Harrington duo worked SO WELL in Miami.chipphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233463496650742328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-50654039127776337702007-07-18T11:21:00.000-04:002007-07-18T11:21:00.000-04:00MLB Dud: Jeremy Accardo for balking in the tying r...MLB Dud: Jeremy Accardo for balking in the tying run in the bottom of the 9th last night.malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373802507578634117noreply@blogger.com
