"The Phinsider Leftovers" Fantasy League

For all of those interested in playing Fantasy Football, and don't make it into the "official" league, I have created this for us.
It will be a 12 team league, ESPN setting. I'll take the 1st 11 who want to join that don't make the other league. Once all the
teams are set, we will decide on the best time for the draft.

(From EAPN AFC EAST blog)
Bills head coach Chan Gailey said Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings that adding another back will be a priority in the draft along with the offensive and defensive lines and a wide receiver.

Just saw this on ESPN. It is on SportsCenter now. He apologized to his team and players. Said he made a mistake and was sorry, be made a bad choice and was embarassed. I dont have a link for this yet, but saw it on TV. Hopefully they wil have a follow up story soon. I am sure this is a suprise to many people, including former players nder his tutelage such as Eric Chavez and Mark Ellis.

Not really Phin related, but ESPN just suspended Tony Kornheiser
by RJ2549 on Feb 23, 2010 4:50 PM EST
on The Phinsider
From: Sporting News
Tony Kornheiser has been suspended as host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" for comments he made on his radio show last week about Hannah Storm's wardrobe, according to several media reports.
Kornheiser apologized to Storm after making the remarks.
An ESPN spokesman says he will be suspended "for some time," which is expected to translate into a few days.
Kornheiser said Storm was wearing "a horrifying, horrifying outfit" and a "very, very tight shirt.
"She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body," he added. "I know she's very good, and I'm not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won't ... but Hannah Storm ... come on now! Stop! What are you doing? ... She's what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point."
This was what he was referring to.
LT is not alone....Eagles cut Westbrook also.

From ESPN:
The Philadelphia Eagles have released 30-year-old running back Brian Westbrook. Arguably the best running back in franchise history, Westbrook was a vital part of the Eagles' success last decade.
Westbrook
He suffered two concussions in '09 and has talked about being worried about his long-term health. But I wouldn't expect any type of retirement announcement in the near future. Westbrook will one day retire as an Eagle, but he'll likely try to sign with another team. The Eagles are probably doing him a favor (much like what the Chargers did for LaDainian Tomlinson) by releasing him this early in the offseason.
There was at least one report in Philadelphia that Westbrook wouldn't be able to pass another team's physical because of a past knee injury. That report was disputed by Westbrook and his representatives. Eagles coach Andy Reid will meet with reporters at 3 pm ET.
But no matter what the future holds, Westbrook has been a huge part of the Eagles organization. He wasn't as beloved as Brian Dawkins, but fans appreciated the way he played through injuries while putting up huge numbers.
He caused teams such as the Giants to go out and sign players specifically to cover him. Whether or not this is the end of the road for Westbrook, he'll be considered one of the best players to ever play for the Eagles. Sad day in Philly.

A's Father's Day Items

I was just wondering if anyone here got anything A's related for Father's Day. Personally, I recieved 2 tix to the game at Baltimore on August 11. That's the closest the A's come to North Carolina, and I have always wanted to see them in person. I am super excited about going. Baltimore is my 2nd favorite AL team, and they have a great ballpark that I look forward to visiting again. Anyone else get anything?
The Yankees should not have rainout days
by RJ2549 on Apr 21, 2009 8:13 AM EDT

If you have just spent $1.5 billion on a new stadium, you should have the foresight to have it enclosed. Whether it be a retractable roof, or just a dome, that amount of money should take care of things like that. This goes for all teams getting new stadiums. The fans pay good money to go see games, and rainchecks are not practical for everyone. If you have do get off work early, or a take a day off, plus fly, drive, or take a train/bus/taxi to get to the game, you want to see a game.
The Yankees' front office has been complaining of the winds blowing routine fly balls into homeruns out in right field. If you think this is the problem, on especially windy days, you could close the roof (if you had one!).
I personally prefer the retractable roof to a dome, but either is better than nothing. With a retractable roof, you can leave it open and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, and if the weather turns, it can be closed, and the game goes on. The temperature is also controlled, and you end up having better baseball, because the players aren't fighting the elements. This is the same reason the NFL went to having the Superbowl in domes and warm weather venues, better games=more fans=more revenue.
What did Gaudin do to Geren?
by RJ2549 on Jun 9, 2007 12:59 AM EDT
on Athletics Nation
Gaudin must have really done something to tick Geren off, seeing how he gets pulled with 2 outs in the 7th and the pen blows the win for him. Gaudin had success against Klesko so far, so why not let him get one more out. I hate the "specialty" pitcher status of some players. Mainly for the fact that it isn't nearly as effective as you think, case in point, hits by Klesko and Bonds, both are whom....LEFTIES.
Best/Worst Contract Deals

Jeff Passan has a column on Yahoo! Sports mentioning the top overpaid collective team, as in one person per position, and the top underpaid or bargain team. A few of our current A's, as well as some familiar faces make the list.
MLB>TV

Does anyone out there subscribe to MLB.TV? I subscribed to watch the Amazin' A's, b/c I live in North Carolina and there aren't any live broadcasts here unless Oakland makes the playoffs or ESPN. The problem is that b/c I live in the Baltimore "area" (I'm 400+ miles away), The Orioles are blacked out, therefore, I can't see the A's.
I was wondering if anyoneout west has an MLB.TV account so we could trade off username and passwords. That way I can still watch the A's when they are over here, and you can see the A's if they are at home, but the game isn't televised to you.
I called MLB and all they could do is tell me there was nothing they could do. I thought about cancelling altogether, but then I would never see an A's game, as there are none scheduled for ESPN this year.
At 4:40 (my time) the A's are up 2-1 over the O's and Swisher is out. Gameday says ankle injury, ESPN says hamstring. Which one is it?
