With the new revelations that Jeff Garcia might threaten a holdout due to his unhappiness with his contract, I have two prevailing emotions: one find that little bastard and duel it out, or tell his tiny ass to sit out if he so pleases. We saw how well that worked out for Keenan McCardell. Garcia signed a [...]

The Buccaneers have a contract dispute on their hands involving quarterback Jeff Garcia. The Pro Bowler says he’s still not happy about his contract which pays him two-million-dollars in base salary this season. That’s well below the salary of big time starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Garcia expressed his continued unhappiness yesterday at the team’s OTA workouts and did ...

Bucs quarterback Jeff Garcia still isn’t happy that he hasn’t gotten a new contract. And he’s not bashful about saying so. Various media reports indicate that Garcia is chirping about the second season of a two-year deal he signed with the Bucs in 2007. “[The Bucs] have indicated to my agent that they’d be working something out [...]

Jeff Garcia spouted off about his contract again at today's voluntary OTAs. "This is a physical game and you want players to go out and give everything they have and lay their bodies on the line, lay their hearts on the line," Garcia said, in an apparent message to team management. "Well, we want you to lay something on the line." They are, douche. Two million dollars in salary. That's ...

Ken Davidoff of Newsday lists possible suitors for Freddy Garcia and ranks the Mets as the likely destination for the veteran right-handed pitcher. According to Davidoff, the 32-year old Garcia would not be available to pitch until the All-Star break. Garcia is 117-76 with a 4.07 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP in his nine year career. He appeared in 11 games for the Phillies last season going 1-5 ...

Sergio Garcia won The Players Championship yesterday, defeating Paul Goydos in the first hole of a sudden-death playoff. It was Garcia’s first tour victory since the 2005 Booz Allen Classic. (Which is a real tournament. I looked it up.) Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come - a harbinger of continued successes, if you will. I’ve always had a spot in my heart for the one ...

Ken Davidoff of Newsday writes that free agent starter Freddy Garcia will soon invite teams to watch him pitch in Miami.  Davidoff offers his most likely suitors; the Mets definitely seem like a strong possibility.  Since Garcia will only cost money, it's likely that a good dozen teams will have at least passing interest. Garcia would probably play for something like $5MM for a ...

But this quote sticks with me: "I want to thank Tiger for not being here...that always makes things a little bit easier." That quote tells you what you need to know about Garcia, if not the rest of the Tour. At some point, you have to quit worrying about The Man. Garcia has all the talent in the world and may have the best game tee to green on Tour. If he can ever get a handle on his ...

I’ve said for quite a while that if Sergio Garcia could ever re-gain the putting form he showed as a teen phenom, he could challenge Tiger Woods . Garcia is one of the best ball-strikers in the game, and one of the worst putters. Garcia won The Players Championship Sunday , but even though he putted well in the final round, he’s still a long way from taking on the best in the ...

As I read the Associated Press wrap of Sergio Garcia's win at The Players Championship it felt like I was taking in some post-major prose. In a sense, I felt just like Sergio did after he won. For instance: "It feels like a major, and it tests you like a major," Garcia said. "I'm so thrilled to be here standing with the trophy." Here's news Serg: It's not a major, buddy. It's an impressive ...

Sergio Garcia shot a 6-under-par 66 yesterday to take a two-stroke lead at The Players Championship . The 28-year-old Spaniard is going for his first win in three years … “I’m just looking forward to keep doing the same things – keep hitting the ball well, keep chipping well and keep putting well,” Garcia told reporters. “And then hopefully, by the end ...

Last night, on my way home from watching the Lakers game, I had a little conversation about Sergio Garcia with one of my friends. He isn't a big Sergio fan, I'm pretty neutral, but we both agreed on something - for a guy with as soft a skin as Mr. Garcia, the British Open loss last year will hang with him for a very long time. I'm not sure if his sister Mar was bugging my car, but something ...
