    NFL: Sources: Two More Women Who Worked With Jets Received Lewd Texts From Favre

    Usually you'd probably be right, but the female that is front and center of this said she isn't pursuing the matter personally but will cooperate with the NFL if she's asked.

    So, now that Tech beat Baylor

    You're kidding right? There's not even a 2 loss team in the Top 25 right now. No chance.

    Brett Favre...ouch (NSFW)

    What's interesting is that both parties have been pretty quiet overall about this. Usually when you see them blasted all over the media, it's a sure sign they're looking for a quick paycheck.

    Twins got screwed

    Interesting: Was that all you did? Also, please point out any of my exaggerations in this thread so I know what to eliminate in my argument. I'll wait.

    Twins got screwed

    Yes, you are missing the point. Let me get this straight. You criticize Gardy for his small ball style of play in previous seasons (successful ones at that)? Now this year when he didn't play small ball (because of the roster makeup) and still managed to win without 2 of the 3 highest paid...

    Twins got screwed

    Completely missed my point and changed the context of my entire post in your reply. Well done. You criticized Gardy for his small ball. I said he's won year in and year out whether he had to play small ball, or like this year playing bigger ball. He adapts well to the players on the roster...

    I can't find the stats either, but a pretty good gage is the number of attempted steals. For instance, there were only 18 attempts on CC this year in 230 IP whereas Pavano had 39 attempts in 220 IP.

    Twins got screwed

    He's a great manager because he adapts to his team and puts them in position to win year in and year out. If you paid attention, the Twins didn't play small ball this year. They took all the speed out of their lineup minus span and made regular starters out of Young and Kubel. He's had...

    Twins Insider: These Twins don't fit small-ball mold | StarTribune.com When you are picked off going back towards 1st base, it's a pickoff. If you try to advance to second on the pickoff throw, it will be counted as a caught stealing.

    Twins got screwed

    Again, I'll ask. What should or could he have done in any of those games differently? Nathan blows 2 saves last year. Are you not going to put in one of the games best closers? Crain gives up a bomb last night. Are you not going to use one of your best bullpen guys year to date? The...

    Twins got screwed

    And the only post season all 3 were on the field at the same time was 2006. Fact. If Gardenhire was fired (which isn't even a remote chance)... he'd have a new job within a week.

    Twins got screwed

    Wrong. He was picked off 5 times at least this year, can't remember where I saw the stat. He only has 4 caught steals. Regardless, the play happened in the first inning. He bunted one night, and not the next. Neither worked. I'm not going to castrate him for bunting a guy into scoring...

    Nebraska will run up the score the rest of the year

    Hugh? They have thrown 7 times the entire game.

    Twins got screwed

    A base stealer who has also leads the league in getting picked off, with a left handed Sabathia on the mound. They didn't bunt tonight and what happened. Double play. Give me a break.

    Signed Joe Mauer's 'foul ball' at Yankee stadium.

    Twins got screwed

    What exactly could Gardenhire do differently in these games? Not put Nathan out to close the games last year? Not pitch Liriano and Pavano in games 1 and 2? Not have Mauer in the 3 hole since he's coming up empty this series? Bench Thome for Casilla? What's your managerial solution???

    NFL: Packers Barnett out the rest of the season

    He's eligible to come off the PUP list after Week 6. Who knows if he'll be ready to come in and play right away. You're not allowed to practice on the PUP list.

    NFL: Packers Barnett out the rest of the season

    Hopefully Bigby and Harris can come back and be effective when they're eligible. But as of right now, this is the 3rd starter lost this year. RB, LB, and safety.
