Apparently, Mike Singletary is going to be the new coach of the 49ers. Members of San Francisco's organization removed the "interim" tag from his title. Good move here for San Francisco. Laid back coaches such has Dennis Erickson and Mike Nolan have proven to be unsuccessful with the 49ers. Now an intense, defensive-minded coach, that has no fear of dropping his pants in front of his entire team to make a point, that's should be something new.
Not on a football note, it's taken an entire 48 hours, but now the Mark Teixiera signing to the New York Yankees has finally hit home. This is just absurd. One week after signing 2 players for a combined 240 million in 24 hours, the signing of this premiere 1st basemen will make 4 of the top 5 highest paid players in the Yankees locker room. If they win the world series, they are going to be labeled as cheaters. If they don't, it will make a mockery out of Major League Baseball. Sounds like a lose-lose situation.
That's all for today. For those who celebrate Christmas, you have 3 hours and 28 minutes. Happy Holidays

I don't think it is a lose-lose situation at all. If Tex would have signed the same contract with the Redsox people would not be talking about this at all. The Yankees freed up all the money they invested in useless people such as Pavano, Abreu, Mussina, Pettitte, etc. and have used some of that money (not all) on 3 free agents. Yes it so happens that they were 3 of the top free agents out there but as I said they are not spending the same amount of money that they did last year; they are actually spending less. They are the same old Yankees, the evil empire. They make baseball what it is. You don't have inspirational stories like the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays w/o the Yankees spending their money. Baseball is a excellent representation of American society. You have people who are rich and can spend as much money as they want (Yankees, Mets, Redsox) and you have poor people that have to rely on what they have (Pirates, Marlins, Rays). Most of the movies that play in theaters such as "The Pursuit of Happiness" and many more are about underdogs that rise to the top. Baseball needs teams like the Yankees so that when teams like the Rays rise to the top people want to hop on the bandwagon and cheer for them so that when they beat the Redsox in the ALCS there is alot of meaning to it. I hope the Yankees can spend all the money they want because as much as I hate it when they lose to the Braves this summer it will make the victory so much better.
To follow up what I said reread ur post on Oct. 19th when you wrote about the Rays making the playoffs...without the Yankees those responses wouldn't exist.
