Mayo drama is proof NBA age limit isn't protection for prospects
Mayo drama is proof NBA age limit isn't protection for prospects

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 5/18/2008 from www.sportsline.com

The O.J. Mayo saga has dominated headlines this week and by extension brought the NBA's age limit under attack. One argument made by my colleague Gregg Doyel is that forcing elite prospects into college for a one-year pit stop invites problems regarding agents prematurely investing in players. And he's correct. It's a recipe for probation

Glorious Leader BCS Says: Hail BCS!
Glorious Leader BCS Says: Hail BCS!

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 5/2/2008 from www.sportingnews.com

A casual visit to the BCS website--on the day of college football's latest playoff proposal getting the ixnay in spring meetings in Florida--reveals a sidebar full of propaganda so cherry-picked it would probably make Kim Jong-Il blush in comparison. This is not an exaggeration.

About Girardi’s relationship with the media

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 5/1/2008 from www.bugsandcranks.com

Remember that little discussion we just had regarding Joe Girardi’s temperament and how his relationship with the guys covering the team will impact his ability to do his job? Well, let’s just say Peter Abraham of the Journal News is a little pissed off at Girardi right now.

The Brad Penny Trade Revisited
The Brad Penny Trade Revisited

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 4/3/2008 from www.sportshubla.com

Critics of the trade have never confronted the salient question, which is this: In cutting ties with an aging free agent catcher in favor of a young Top 20 starter entering his prime, isn’t it just possible that Paul DePodesta had enough foresight to recognize a 2008 spreadsheet opportunity when he saw it in 2004? Isn’t it foolish to pass judgment on a long-term move in the short-term?

Beware of Big Ten Backs
Beware of Big Ten Backs

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 4/2/2008 from sports.aol.com

Illinois' Rashard Mendehall may turn out to be an outstanding NFL running back, but if he does, he'll be bucking a lot of history. Mendenhall is considered one of the top running backs in this year's draft, and he's pegged by some to be a mid to late first-rounder. But he'll have to overcome a somewhat accurate stigma that Big 10 backs are more trouble than they are worth.

Ten Interleage Matchups that Need to Become Annual
Ten Interleage Matchups that Need to Become Annual

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 3/20/2008 from sports.yahoo.com

Truthfully, though, I can't say that interleague play is too exciting, anymore...The thing is that it doesn't have to be this way. There are plenty of possible matchups out there that would give a little boost of something to one of Bud Selig's babies. No, they're currently not annual rivalries, but for one reason or another, they need to be.

Kevin Mawae Voted Head of NFL Player's Union

Tennessee Titans center Kevin Mawae was elected president of the NFL Players Association today, replacing Troy Vincent, whose term recently ended and who is no longer an active player. Mawae, who was voted as president at the conclusion of a four-day meeting in Hawaii, wasted no time in pointing out that serious issues face the union, [...]

Yankees pay homage to Virginia Tech by kicking them when they're down

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 3/19/2008 from dumpdolan.blogspot.com

"And when the national anthem was finished and the players headed for their dugouts, it was time to play a game that was less about baseball than it was about healing." How fitting, then, that a game about healing involved making Virginia Tech look pathetic at baseball two days after the school narrowly missed out on an NCAA tourney bid.

Last night, while preparing for today's tournament lunacy, our phone rang. We didn't have time to answer it, so 20 minutes later, we checked our messages. It was Bob Costas. He wanted to discuss, on record, his comments from last week. We called him back and talked for about 20 minutes. Samplings of the interview follow.

What if the MLB were a giant fantasy league? Baseball success in fantasy vs. reality

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 3/17/2008 from dumpdolan.blogspot.com

Anyone who's played fantasy baseball has had the sneaking suspicion that putting together a championship fantasy team requires strikingly similar components as putting together a team in real life...I decided to imagine that the MLB was a sort of grand-scale fantasy league. I ranked each real life major league team by the standard 5x5 rotisserie format based on its team stats. Here's the results.

There is Very Little Common Sense in Baseball Journalism

We here at the MLB FanHouse have decided to take a more vigilant stance on idiotic things written by the media about baseball this year. We're not on an FJM-style seek-and-destroy mission, but we do want to point out things that are just painfully stupid and why they are that way. So thank you, Paul Daughterty of the Cincinnati Enquirer, for giving me something to do this afternoon.

Jets can't seem to hold their No. 1 picks

dumpdolan dumpdolan posted 2/27/2008 from www.nydailynews.com

Trading Robertson and Vilma would continue an alarming trend. The Jets treat their former first-round picks like disposable contact lenses: Use them for a while and throw ‘em out. Since 1998, five former No. 1s have been sent packing. That is not how you build a championship team. Your No. 1 picks should be the backbone of the roster.
