I'll never forget watching Rickey Henderson go on ESPN in 1990 and cry on national TV because he wanted his contract re-negotiated. He was making three million dollars a year, and at that time that was a lot. You give me that salary today and I'll be just fine.

Updated to 2-1 ...I don't care if today's the Super Bowl. It's February. The only sport that matters to me gets going this month. ...And Spring is next month. (I think.) ...This year's game will be hard to beat last year's. Especially at the end of it. I can still see Bill Belicheat stomping off the field after the Patriots blew it. ...Ok, I flipped a coin. I'll root for the Cardinals. ...And I'll spend the rest of the week watching the commercials ...Once Joe Torre's book is released on February 3rd, I don't think it is going to be such a big deal as it is being made out to be. ...The Moron of the Week award goes to Andy Pettitte, who turned down a 10 million dollar contract and signed a 5 million dollar contract. Maybe this year he'll actually contribute. ...I'm starting to run out of room as to where I can throw my snow that I shovel off of my driveway. Any one of you guys who live down south who like this stuff so much can come up here and take as much as you want. ...I'd love to have a new baseball game for the PC, but who in here has any faith in 2K sports? I'm more than satisfied with Mvp 08 and waiting for Mvp 09. ...Sometimes I think I'd be a whole lot better off if I wasn't such a perfectionist at everything. ....Then again it wouldn't be me. There's always a Catch-22. ...Do yourself a favor and Google Denise Milani. I never heard of her until a few days ago. And don't tell my wife. :unsure:

This is a good one Link Hory, you lucky *&^*&&*. Link

I remember people being upset with her because she kept on calling radio talk shows to defend her husband. She was very vocal about it and she made a lot of people wish she would just keep quiet.

Updated to 1-25 ...When it was up to 42 degrees here on Friday (the 23rd) it was higher than the temperatures of the previous week combined. Now that's cold no matter how you look at it. ...Just one month ago it was Christmas day. And some people are still paying for it. ...Don't you hate it when you go to someplace like McDonalds for instance and the person in front of you acts like this is the first time they've been there? ...Saw "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" the other day. It was pretty good. Kevin James is always funny. ...I have no problem with Kurt Warner. In fact, I think it's a great story of how he came to the NFL ten years back after working in a supermarket. I just don't want his wife getting a lot of air time like she did the first time he went to the Super Bowl. Talk about annoying. ...Scott Boras is having a hard time selling Manny Ramirez. Can you blame him? He quit on the Red Sox last year and now he's trying to get teams to buy in that they need him. The sad thing is though someone will bite. ...Brett Favre announced his retirement the other day......from online poker. ...Come on Raiders, make Tom Cable the head coach and be on with it. ...I've lost a lot of respect for Andy Pettitte after he didn't sign that ten million dollar contract offer. He did nothing last year except give up a lot of runs. I understand that ten million dollars is not enough for the Pettitte family. They might have to resort to cutting coupons if he signed for that amount. ...Here's a little plug for Dylan Bradbury's calculator utilities that he has for the game. Try them out and you'll really like them. I believe there's about four different programs and each one of them can help you run a better dynasty.

No, I'll bring them in on the joke just in case they read the topic of your thread close enough. It's ok.

Hahahahaha! :lol: :lol: Now, when I get PM's sent to me asking where the 09 mod can be downloaded at, I have only myself to blame. Have fun man, and I hope you win all your games.

You know what you should do is edit your topic on this thread and say you are playing this dynasty on the 09 mod. Hahahaha

Oh, the inquiries that this is going to bring!! Your sense of detection serves you well. I just can't lock this thread! I can't do it. I'm enjoying reading about your dynasty. You're doing a great job. Tell you what...the next time you play the Yankees, bean A-Rod in the head.

You're winning and Joe Rudi isn't??? I ought to lock this thread right now. :(

In that case my friend, I don't mind being on the outside looking in.

There is a place for hip-hop though. Get a few of those songs and use them to wake you up for work or school in the mornings. You're guaranteed not to hit the snooze button.

Hold it, hold it!!!!!! Is there a difference between hip-hop and hip-pop or did superciuc just do a typo?

Sure, just about anything from that time period. Early Def Leppard too.

I listen to classic Rock, not classical music. Classic Rock like Van Halen, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Guns n Roses, Early AC DC, Judas Priest, etc. I do not listen to any of the new crap. I saw them years ago. Just wish I could have seen them when Bon Scott was there.

Updated to 1-18 ...Anyone notice that I've spent a lot of time here the past few days? That's because I haven't been working. When the weather gets into the subzero temperatures, my knees do not like it and they let me know it. Let's just say it hasn't been a pleasant and fun few days and we'll leave it at that. ...But I did have to go out on Wednesday because I had to go and get dog food. So I took a trip down into YankeexDev territory and went to BJ's wholesale club in Webster. It was around 9 am and I got in and out. It was freezing. About five degrees outside and God knows what the wind chill was. But the oddest thing I saw was when I left that store. Some guy was wearing sandals. You know, the shoes that have the feet completely exposed? You wear them in the summer. And people criticize kids because of what they wear! ...My wife got a new iPod for her birthday (an iTouch one) and now I am the proud owner of her hand-me-down one. It's an 8 gig one that plays video and audio. I have to take off all the songs she had on it because there's no way I'm listening to country music and Elvis. ...Same goes for hip-hop. Sorry Mark. I did listen to one hip-hop song a few years back for you and just recently my headache went away. ...I am going to miss Circuit City. I always enjoyed going there and spending time just looking around. I love electronics. ...I wonder if the MLB Network is going to have a reality show? Everyone else seems to. ...Right now all I see from those people is that they repeat everything over and over again. It's like they are having a hard time filling 24 hours so they have to repeat the same 1991 Cubs-Pirates game. Put another one on. Have some variety. ...I see that one of my favorite punching bags received a huge 41 million dollar contract extension from a team that I don't care to mention right now. One thing I'll admit right now: he'll probably earn it unlike Robinson Cano, who stole money last year from the Yankees. ...If Roger Clemens ends up in jail he will be the one who put himself there. ...Oh yeah. The NFL Championship games. Like I care. I don't like anything from Philadelphia so I won't root for them. The Steelers I can't root for so there you have it. And if these two teams win today, so what? ...I am more interested on who is going to be the next Oakland coach. I'm hoping that Tom Cable comes back. ...The next movie I want to see is that Kevin James one, Mall Cop. Let me know if anyone here has seen it.

Now that's a good one.

Updated to 1-11 ...It is a helpless feeling to watch snow fall when you can't do a thing about it. ...The Cardinals are going to the NFC Championship game? That's a story in itself. ...Makes me have wild and crazy thoughts about the Raiders now. ...I'd like to wish shiftless and lazy Rocco Baldelli good luck in Boston but I just can't do it. ...The updates by Pirate and TheBigO on their respective stadiums are beautiful. Thank you to both of them. ...Tomorrow we find out if Jim Rice gets in the Hall of Fame. I vote no. But I have no vote, so it doesn't matter if he does or doesn't. ...Speaking of the Hall, I am in the planning stages of a trip there in the middle of July. The snow should be gone then. ...Please Money Ramirez, go back to the Dodgers. They actually want you. ...It's been on eleven days now. How do you all like the MLB Network? I've never heard of Trenni Kusnierek, but that doesn't stop me from watching her. And my first impression of Hazel Mae is not a good one. ...Welcome back Monk and Psych.

They didn't.

Updated to 1-4 ...Sorry there was no entries last week in this thread but I was kind of indisposed as I was in the hospital and had no access to a computer. ...I left the hospital happy to get out of there with a clean bill of health and two sore arms, courtesy of the IV team. ...There is nothing like the satisfaction of knowing the holidays are over and they are twelve months away again. ...My sympathies to the John Travolta family, who lost their son over the weekend. ...I think the Mark Teixeira press conference to introduce him to the press is going to be on Tuesday. I don't have to tell you how happy I am to have this guy on the team. It also meant that Giambi won't be back-and that's a plus too. ...I wonder why Derek Lowe, Manny Ramirez and Bobby Abreu have not been signed yet? ...Does anyone else get this network? It's called the G4 Network. It's on DirectTV and I've been watching it since I've been home. It's not bad. ...Don't look now but my Raiders won their last two games and are going to be going into the 2009 season looking better than they did at the beginning of this one. ...What a shame that Peyton Manning has to go home again after another loss in the playoffs. ...My early review of the MLB Network is that it's not that good but that's just based on what is on now. They keep on repeating the same stuff. I'm sure that once spring training starts next month that this network is really going to shine. ...I'm hoping everyone who reads this thread has a great new year.

I don't think you can but this is a good idea. I don't really mind listening to Kuiper but this Krukow guy is the one that gets on my nerves with his dumb comments like Meat and Big Boy.

Thank you for making me aware of these font changes. I overlooked them.

Updated to 12-21 ....Thank God. It's almost over. The best thing about Christmas for me is when it finally gets here and is all done. ...One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to watch "A Christmas Carol" or any version of it that is played on TV. ...I finished my shopping on Thursday night before the storm hit and I was lucky to do that. I go to a mall out in nearby Victor, New York called Eastview and they have wall to wall cars and traffic there even in the summer. ...I hope everyone who is unlucky like me to live here in the eastern part of the country was able to dig themselves out of that storm we got on Friday. Here's a sad thought: It's not even officially winter yet on the calendar. This is just a sneak preview of it. :cry: ....Do I really have to say how much I envy you guys who don't live in this area? ...Playing MVP is really going to help me get through this winter, just like it did last year. Last winter was easier though because I was home with my knee surgery. ...Don't count me in as someone who's doing backflips because the Yankees got Sabathia and Burnett. I still see holes in that lineup. I don't trust the Yankee hitters and I hate the second baseman. ...One thing I'm wondering about something the Mets did. If they went out and signed a closer in Frankie Rodriguez, why did they have to go and trade for another one in JJ Putz? ...Manny, go back to the Dodgers, ok? ...Aww, the Cowboys lost yesterday. That sucks. I'm sure timay, wherever he is, has a few good excuses thought up already.

Oh....that's funny. :lmao:

Updated to 12-14 ...A big welcome back to MarkB, who's been gone since November 15th. I was worried because I thought his neighbors finally got so fed up of having to listen to that hip-hop music that they banded together and got rid of poor guy because of it. ...Ouch. That's what I said on the 11th when I got my latest cortisone shot in my knee. I can't stress more to you guys here to take care of your knees so you won't have these problems. End of lecture. ...It was a slow night here at Mvpmods last night. How slow? SeanO did not release a stadium. ...Every time I play in a new ballpark that one of the modders makes it is like playing a brand new game. I love this game. ...There's ten shopping days left until Christmas. Good. I just want this done. ...No matter how well you plan for this holiday you always end up forgetting to do something. Right now I'm ok, but I still got a lot of time to mess it up. :whistle: ...Forgive me if I hold back any praise for the signings of Sabathia and Burnett to the Yankees. Games have to be won on the field. The offense is still the same and that's inconsistent. I refuse to get excited about this team until I see results that show me that I should be. ...I still think Mark Teixeira is a key signing for them and he's the one I'd really want. ...I'm hoping the Detroit Lions don't go winless this year. ...Are Blu-Ray players worth it? Can anyone tell the difference?
