"Who's Andre Ware and why does everyone hate him so much" my wife circa 1991

The Leafs remind me of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the late 80's...lots of talent, never could get the mix right

Apprently...as of 5:30 pm there's still teams on hold with the trade registry waiting to get trades approved

The pick is..apparently,,,the Stars 2024 4th rd pick

Namestnikov to the Stars for a 4th rd pick per ESPN

We retain 50% of Leddy's salary

That's a nice looking trade....

He gets on base.... Sorry...wrong movie

Brieske should now be called Smoked Brieske

Perhaps there isn't a QB worth #2...but there are 2 LT that are and there's a number of teams immediately below us who need one. That could create a market for our pick. That would allow us to snag a DB like Hamilton or Gardner and have a bonus 2nd or 3rd rd pick we could use to take a flier on Ojabo. I don't think he gets to 97 because while an Achilles rupture is still a serious injury...it isnt the career killer it was even 10 years ago

Ojabo falls to one of our picks in the 30's?

Josie Cotton had a minor hit with that song in 83 or 84..

The irony of taking Willis at #2 and passing on an edge is that passing on an edge may be a factor in making us bad enough to draft high enough to land a franchise QB next year...

Huzzah!!! There will be baseball to watch on my office TV this spring!!!

Starting to see mocks with Georgia's Trayvon Walker leapfrogging Thibodeaux as the 2nd edge off the board...is Thibs freaking people out that badly...or did Walker just test REALLY well. Malik Willis at #2 smacks of the FOMO effect Leaf has talked about. I hope it's a smoke screen to spur interest in a trade down

That's the kind of loss that gets your coach fired

The surprisingly intelligent and articulate Ryan Leaf's take on the combine from the Eisen show

Can you imagine the embarrassment if they measured...everything. Pickett has the smallest wang of any QB at the combine...ever. That kind of talk could ruin a man's life

Back when Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips was a thing they had a fried chicken sandwich with Russian dressing that was so good. Today...I'm ashamed to admit I enjoyed it

As the anti-Russian fever spreads, is it possible that the NHL will say nyet to drafting anyone from Russia or Belarus this year?

Speaking of Finland... Jokerit has dropped out of the KHL in protest over Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Outside of the core four of Larkin, Seider, Raymond and Ned...I would listen to offers on anyone. You would have to give me a lot to get Bert...overpaying even...but I would definitely be open to dealing him. What would your ask be for Bert? If a toxic asset with health issues like Eichel can fetch a top six F, a decent prospect and a 1st and a 2nd rd pick...I would think Bert should net something in that range

A pretty good non Tiger book from years ago is Peter Gammons' "Beyond the Sixth Game". It takes a close look at the Red Sox from post 1975 WS to the mid 80's. The Sox were a bit of a clown show during that period (let's forget to mail Fisk a contract so he becomes a FA) so it's an interesting study

It's not the money...it's the amount

It would rival the time the Philly PD firebombed a city block to get the MOVE people out
