Royals Manager Trey Hillman suspended by MLB for Todays game. Bench Coach Gibbons will manage royals @12pm on 610sports

Text I got from 610 sports. Anyone know why?

Because of the timing — the 50-year anniversary of the inaugural season of the American Football League and Houston being one of the original eight franchises — this game will be about tradition and heritage and passionate fans with newly developing loyalty.

Mark your calendars for clash with Titans

Umm, does this guy know that the Texans up and moved to KC?

Though NFLDraftBible.com took a lot of criticism a couple of weeks ago, and perhaps rightfully so, for naming six players as having tested positive for marijuana or banned substances at the Scouting Combine, we’ve confirmed that one of the players outed by the web site — Florida receiver Percy Harvin — indeed tested positive for marijuana at the Combine.

Harvin’s Positive Result Is Confirmed

Welcome to AP: Netiquette and you

IISaiNtII — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:20:20 -0000

Mostly taken from HERE. I think it's important to start off on the right foot, and many people fail to integrate well because these rules of netiquette aren't followed. That can lead to bans, flame wars, unneccesary arguments that get personal and off-topic, or users leaving.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rule 1: Remember the Human

Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life

Be ethical

Don't believe anyone who says, "The only ethics out there are what you can get away with." This is a book about manners, not about ethics. But if you encounter an ethical dilemma in cyberspace, consult the code you follow in real life. Chances are good you'll find the answer.

Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace

Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth

It's a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before, even though (or perhaps because) we sleep less and have more labor-saving devices than our grandparents did. When you send email or post to a discussion group, you're taking up other people's time (or hoping to). It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted.

Rule 5: Make yourself look good online

You will be judged by the quality of your writing. For most people who choose to communicate online, this is an advantage; if they didn't enjoy using the written word, they wouldn't be there. So spelling and grammar do count.

Rule 6: Share expert knowledge

Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control

Does Netiquette forbid flaming? Not at all. Flaming is a long-standing network tradition (and Netiquette never messes with tradition). Flames can be lots of fun, both to write and to read. And the recipients of flames sometimes deserve the heat. But Netiquette does forbid the perpetuation of flame wars -- series of angry letters, most of them from two or three people directed toward each other, that can dominate the tone and destroy the camaraderie of a discussion group.

Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy

Rule 9: Don't abuse your power

Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes

The one knock on Curry -- especially when it comes to using the top pick on him -- is his lack of sacks, or even pass pressures. He had nine sacks in his four-year career at Wake Forest, including two last season. However, he wasn't used as a pass rusher in college; he was more of a coverage linebacker, which in the NFL is not nearly as coveted as someone who can get in a quarterback's face and force an errant throw.

Curry looking to defy history, go No. 1 in next month's draft

I thought the knock(s) on Curry were interesting. I really think he falls.

Like several of the 50-plus representatives from the 32 teams on hand at Georgia's pro day, he compared him to Jay Cutler -– skill-wise -– then invoked the name of the other young quarterback who Stafford will inevitably be compared to: Atlanta's Matt Ryan.

Lions need to ignore history, give keys of franchise to Stafford

IISaiNtII — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:06:14 -0000

this weekend could be Cutler's "last with the team," and that "four teams have contacted the Broncos" in regards to the Pro Bowl quarterback; that number is likely to increase at the annual owners' meetings next week.

Jay Cutler Could Be Out of Denver by the Weekend

Well that is surely good news... With the exception of the compensation they would get for Cutler, and if it's indeed the Browns, the capable QB they would also get. I really hope this doesn't work out in their favor.
