Why fire Mangini?
After beating the Pats and the Titans, the Jets were talking contract extension. Now, they're starting fresh . How can things have changed so much since mid-season? "This is not a decision that we reached yesterday, or 10 minutes ago," Johnson said. "This was a decision that was running ...

Dear Detroit Lions
Congratulations, you have accomplished something no other team has ever done. You have gone 0-16. Instead of being mediocre, you have decided to take things to a greater level and have rivaled the Tampa Bay Bucs, circa 1976, as the worst team ever in the Super Bowl era of the NFL. You did ...

Playing three card monte with Scott Boras

The Argument for Teixeira in New York
1. Age Teixeira : Entering age 29 season Ramirez : Entering age 37 season Let's start with the argument I'm the most confused by: Teixeira is a huge risk because he'd require an 8 year deal. Sure, any deal that long has a lot of inherent risk. What I don't understand is why he's seen as ...

College Bowl Game Picks
My fundamental theorem of betting on bowl games (especially against the spread) is to try and identify how motivated each team is likely to be. History proves time and time again that in the "lesser" bowl games, a highly motivated team is likely to perform better than a team that is ...

NASCAR and the Big Three
Swamp resident journalist Brontoburglar stays true to his word and hits us up with some NASCAR noise... With the Big Three automakers groveling at the feet of Congress, I admit that the fate of NASCAR popped into my head when thinking about the proposed bailout. But I also must admit that I ...

Orioles kick Cabrera to the curb
The Baltimore Orioles have evidently given up on waiting for right-hander Daniel Cabrera to live up to his potential. The Orioles declined Friday to offer the arbitration-eligible starter a contract for 2009, making him a free agent. I fail to see how this makes the Orioles a better team. ...

Yankee Financial Domination continues
From the city that never sleeps, we bring you the newest FA signed by the Yankees: A.J. Burnett. This is the kind of high risk signing few teams other than the Yankees could afford. (Think Carl Pavano.) The deal is $82.5M 5-year for an oft injuired right hander that last year had career ...

This is the first in what we hope will be many Swamp-user submitted posts. This is from papaduff, who in his spare time enjoys playing in corn mazes with Lou Ferrigno. As I was flipping through the channels last night, I stopped on ESPN looking for a game. What was I thinking? There was no ...

If the Yankees Got Older, It Was Certainly Wiser

Yankees to get older. Is that wiser?
I remember a period when George would collect about half a dozen 1B/DH types and wonder why they couldn't all play in the same game.One of those guys only cost Jay Buhner. Today's move may be just as curious, but there may be more than meets the eye. The Yankees have found their center ...

CC will be Round on the Mound in the Bronx
Brian Cashman did a lot of talking and hand holding these last three days to get Sabathia to sign. The Yankees, a franchise that seemingly has a love affair with hefty lefties, offered Sabathia the largest contract ever to a pitcher. A $161 million, seven-year contract, with a three year ...
