When will the Los Angeles Dodgers learn????...
For the fourth time, Manny Ramirez and his agent Scott Bore-ass declined the Dodgers offer...this time they turned down a $25 million, one-year contract with a $20 million player option for 2010...
The Dodgers are assholes if they continue to pursue Ramirez...they have made more than fair offers...the time has come where L.A. should announce that they have moved on and will no longer offer Ramirez a contract...
As for Manny, I have this to say to him and his agent - "Go fuck yourself you greedy long-haired bastard!!!"....
Think about it, this dude has turned down $25 million...$25 million!!!!...and it's not like this is his first ever baseball contract...he has already made over $100 million over his career...
Here is a news story that will be getting a lot of play...last week in Wampum, Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh, 11-year-old Jordan Brown is accused of taking a shotgun and murdering his father's 26-year-old girlfriend, Kenzie Marie Houk, (below photo, center) who was nine months pregnant...
Pennsylvania law states that Brown must be tried as an adult...he can face life in prison...the family suggests jealousy was a possible motive...
T.D. Thornton, a Boston Globe correspondent, writes how an American won the 1904 Olympic marathon with a little help... "For athletes in the 21st century, the elixir of choice is steroids. More than 100 years ago, Thomas J. Hicks opted for a vile concoction of egg whites and brandy laced with strychnine, the active ingredient in rat poison." ... T.D. ThorntonThe Boston Globe has a 7-part series on Ted Kennedy...this link will lead you to part 7...you have to click on the top of the page for the previous 6 parts... Ted Kennedy SeriesSam Farmer of The Los Angeles Times writes how Pete Carroll and Urban Meyer will not be going to the NFL... "Carroll and Meyer have not hinted at leaving their current jobs, and why would they? Carroll makes $4.4 million per year at USC and surely could have more if he pushed for it. Meyer's yearly compensation is $3.25 million and he has a chance to win a third national championship in four years. Those guys would be nuts to walk away from what they have, because NFL teams wouldn't come close to matching either of those deals. Simply put, NFL jobs aren't what they used to be." ... Sam Farmer
