Apparently some teams in Russia are willing to give him 10 million a year which is more than the Dubs are offering. I'm guessing his agent is just using this as leverage to get more money. My prediction is to the warriors for 60 million over 6 years. They will pay up since they can't afford to lose him.

Citing court documents and phone records it obtained, Fox reported Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. According to a story published Monday on Fox News' Web site, the majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred before and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering. The only person Donaghy called more often (150 times) was Thomas Martino, to whom Donaghy has said he provided picks to win games and who was the middleman between the former ref and a bookie named James Battista. During this period, the most calls Donaghy made to any other referee were 13, Fox said.

It looks like this is far from over, sucks to be Stern.

pretty hard to predict a draft because of the possibility of trades.

Apparently their pitching coach was taught by Dusty Baker. I guess they haven't learned about relief pitchers in Japan.

The refs blew the game at the end of regulation by calling a foul on Lawrence Hill, who had the cleanest block of all time. What a shame considering Hill had just hit the game winning shot and Stanford dominated the entire game.

I still can't believe he tried to cover this up and then tells Congress the truth. I guess he doesn't want to join Bonds and Clemens in jail with perjury charges.

He didn't have a solid answer for Pettitte's testimony today. If he does end up in jail maybe he will room with Bonds; they would field a nasty prison softball team.

This article explains the inverted W theory where a pitcher has his throwing elbow above their shoulders and behind their body when they wind up to throw a pitch. For example they use Mark Prior, the king of getting injured. The correct way to pitch is to keep your elbow down and in front of your body, which is more natural and puts much less strain on the elbow. For example they use Randy Johnson, Roy Oswalt, and Greg Maddux. Pretty amazing teams still let guys pitch the inverted W way.

36 million over 2 years, he had a down year last season so he has to play better to make this worth while for the Dodgers.

I don't know how RotoWorld got the scoop first but if this is true then Holliday got screwed.

I don't have anything against the kid but a 2 star recruit who is only going there because of his buddy DeMar DeRozan should not have taken a scholarship. Last I checked, his dad Master P, is worth several hundred million and not using up a scholarship would free one up for another kid who can't afford a private school like USC.

Royce Gracie destroyed everyone. Besides him, only Ken Shamrock knew anything about MMA.

So Tim Duncan could have received the max salary from the Spurs but instead accepted a lesser deal so the team could have some financial flexibility to keep the team competitive over time. Has an athlete ever done this before? I sure can't think of one......

"The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld CBC Distribution¹s previous ruling against Major League Baseball Advanced Media to use statistics without a license in all of its fantasy sports games."

I can't believe the MLB tried to sue over this. They should not own the rights to players statistics.

Bad grades have cost the potential lottery pick the beginning of the season, luckily most of the teams they play are terrible.
