Mr. Manager
Trevor Hoffman retires. Absolute first ballot hall of famer.

He should be. However, if Roberto Alomar couldn't make it first ballot, there is reason to suspect Hoffman potentially may not.

Now Mariano Rivera should likely surpass him for Career Saves by June of 2012 (Mariano has 559, Hoffman 601).
But you're right, he will be a sure-fire Hall of Famer. Although I think he will NOT first ballot guy. (Exclusively) relief pitchers don't get in on the first ballot, and I doubt they would change that for Hoffman (IF they change that, it'll likely be with Rivera, but even with him they might not). I think he'll be similar to Alomar, in that he comes up short in year one, then in year 2 he gets almost all the votes.

So The Denver Bronco's have officially hired John Fox to be their new Head Coach.
This is a great move. Fox is a very good Head Coach who was able to make the most out of a shit situation in Carolina.
Oh, and Mega, I forgot it's against the law for someone to hate Tom Brady. That wasn't all about on-field. He just hates him. And really, the whole talking thing has nothing to do with motivation either way.

Cam Newton is entering the Draft. Good choice. That way he doesn't have to face the NCAA..... Yet.

He's not ready to go pro. Another year could have really helped him.

The Yankees signed closer Rafael Soriano to a 3 year/$35 million contract. He'll be the set-up man to Rivera, pitching the 8th inning.
Good signing, Soriano is a very good relief pitcher and could be the heir when Rivera retires.
Fucking Yankees and Red Sox...

He is ready to go pro and will be a first round pick. Another year would have done nothing but given the NCAA more time to possibly find him guilty of something and have him miss playing time. He could potentially be the first qb taken in this draft.

He only played one year. Him leaving early tells me that he is guilty of other things and he's afraid of getting caught by the NCAA. Also, I'm sure if Luck would've entered the draft, Newton probably would've returned.
I loved having Soriano on my fantasy team last year. This signing is great for him and great for the Yankees but his fantasy value just dropped to zero.
Before anyone says athletes and organizations don't and shouldn't care about fantasy I am aware of that. Just making a comment.

unless your fantasy league counts holds. Then his value is much higher then zero. He still takes a hit, because the Yankees (generally speaking) don't give their relievers much of a chance for holds/saves, because they score a lot of runs.
It is a GREAT move by the Yankees, and it may end up luring Pettitte back for 1 last final last season.

Getting Noticed By Management
Twins resigned Thome, definitely glad we got him locked up. We need to keep some power hitting in our lineup and him at DH is perfect.
That said I can now promptly dismiss the report that the Twins were one of five teams inquiring about Manny Ramirez. I don't want him near our harmonious locker room.

He only played one year at the division 1 level but he also led his JUCO team to a national title. Obviously that's nothing big but he wasn't just sitting on his ass. He has nothing left to prove in college because he has done everything. Even if Luck entered the draft I guarantee Newton still would have as well. He's a first round pick either way.
Sorry if this doesn't really fit in with what you guys are talking about in here, but I didn't feel this was big enough to make a new thread, and this is the only sports thing really around in the spam section at this time, and being the Sports bar, I'd figure it's worth sharing.
So I'm playing the AFC Conference game on my 4th year in my madden 11 franchise with the Steelers. I imported a draft class from NCAA with my created running back (me
) to play the NFL franchise with. So It's Steelers @ Broncos, and there is 30 seconds left in the game. 49-10 (Pittsburgh) I decided to run up the score. Being that the game is in Denver, there is heavy snow. I hand the ball of to the halfback (in this case me), and I break it out from a huge 72 yard run.
As I'm going into the endzone, I do a body slide in, turn over...and proceed to make a snow angel. I thought that was a pretty funny touchdown celebration. I'm sure they've done it before in the NFL, but I haven't seen it on Madden until now. Sucks for Denver though, it's the AFC conference game, and Pittsburgh (who was 4th seed playing in the wildcard) kicks the crap outta you on home field, and then they run up the score, and the asshole running back pretty much taunts the crowd, making a snow angel on your home turf.
Well I'll be playing St. Louis for the second time in a row at the Superbowl. Not sure why they're doing so good. Although last years Superbowl I killed them. They went 12-4 last year, and 11-5 this year. I guess the Rams will end up being a superbowl winning team in 2014.
Haha, just thought I'd share that though.
