—

Favre-like, I rise up from the ashes of my literary self-immolation. (Predictably, some might say .) Before I get into why I’ve changed my mind and decided to unretire, I feel like I should further explain why I retired last Thursday . And for at least a few hours there, I really did ...

Reasons for Not Having a Salary Cap in MLB Are Numerous

— bizofbaseball.com — Should talk of a salary cap be about the Yankees, or a far broader topic? As soon as the Yankees won the World Series, the conversation broke into a chorus.
