  1. The Bears have some really tough games coming up. They won't keep up those last second wins.
  2. A possible preview of the NFC Championship game...
  3. Ok...Boras shops around players under contract. They all do it. Cheat steal and lie. That makes sense to you?
  4. Vikings suck...how did we lose to that team??
  5. He looked good on the possible winning TD drive. Even after a Hockelson dropped pass. What a bum. 😆😆
  6. Someone finds out after a GM gets fired and is bitter. An agent like Boras, for example, makes millions of dollars a year. That could all be in jeopardy for very little gain. Think about it, everyone already knows the ballpark figure it will take to sign Skubal. If he were to shop him while he's still under contract, he may make a few extra million. But he would be exposing himself to being suspended from being an agent in future damesls;
  7. A team that wasn't prepared, played very sloppy and was totally undisciplined. Ohio is licking their chops. 😏😏
  8. 5 turnovers. A victory...OK. But it feels like a loss.
  9. UM is a very undisciplined team. That reflects poorly on their coaching.
  10. I'm talking about MLB, Boras and Skubal. Tampering isn't something that's done by GMs and agents. GMs are fired or quit every year. To trust none of them will ever talk is very naive. An agent like Boras would put 100's of millions of dollars at risk for very, very little gain. If Skubal signs a $400m contract, Boras would make $40m at 10%. Bump that contract up to 440m by tampering and he would make $4m extra at 10%. He's not going to risk all the money he makes from other players for a measly $4 million bucks. Speculating that there are secret talks or hidden handshake deals is just that, speculation. If there was any proof, Boras would lose every player under contract or future free agent contracts. I'm telling ya, it's just not worth it. Now if someone were to say that Boras is unethical, I would agree. Taking a free agent's offer and shopping it around may be allowed but IMO, it's very unethical.
  11. 32 assists. That's huge...winning is great but it's just an exciting team to watch. They go all out, full blast, all the time.
  12. I imagine it takes time to get into game shape, especially the way the Pistons offense runs. They're all out on almost every possession.
  13. No, they don't. Every single GM in baseball will eventually quit or be fired. Scott Boras is not going to jeopardize $100 million dollars a year by shopping players around, who aren't even free agents? Are you even aware of the penalty? He would lose his ability to represent any players, as well as a hefty fine. All it would take is a bitter fired GM to open his mouth. If there's even a 1% chance of that happening, it's not worth it. Everybody in baseball already knows how much it would cost to sign Skubal. Heck, he even threw a number out there on a podcast. Scott Boras would never put his wealth in direct line of accusations. He's really unethical, IMO, but even that would be crossing the line.
  14. No, they don't. Agents would lose everything if they were caught. And they would be caught. All it takes is one disgruntled GM to let league offices know. Agents like Boras wouldn't risk hundreds of millions of dollars by breaking tampering rules. That an extremely serious charge
  15. Being unethical is one thing but what you're saying is called tampering, highly illegal. At least, against every single rule. The consequences are severe. Boras would lose many, many millions of dollars. Once Skubal is a free agent, he can shop him around. But not until then.
  16. Recent reports of Skubal wanting to stay in Detroit has my mind changing about the Tigers signing him. In the past, I thought there was no way the Tigers would offer him enough to avoid free agency. And no way would Boras allow him to not test the market for a max deal. But I think there is a possibility the Tigers pony up the money for him, he appears to want to stay here. Just...pay the man!!
  17. Larkin and Raymond on a 2 on 0 break...they better score!! 😅😅
  18. The Jets are in full tank mode. Trading players away and they're planning to lose. The smart money is on New England.
