This recap is pretty funny 'cause it's true.

Wow! But who won the game? I mean it's a great story regardless, but I am curious about the meaningfulness of the baskets.

Fine. I'll grant you "two" (slimfire and gr8) this: nbxsportshow is getting a little better, this one has some semblance of sports interestingness buried in the mounds of crap. But you have posted these self-links to your silly flash movies four times before, and you've been asked to stop every time. The truth is this could be the greatest link ever but it would still be against our rules and would be deleted. No self-linking is sorta the prime directive. Can't you even try to have some respect for our community? You obviously think there's something of value here since you won't leave us alone...if you'd just contribute something sincere, you could put your stupid flash site in your profile and get plenty of traffic that way. Instead, you just have flaunt the fact that you're an asshole.

Elsewhere, the Diamondbacks (seemed to) deliberately plunk Vinny Castilla to block his opportunity to hit for cycle in the Nats first ever home opener. I haven't watched a whole lot of baseball since Peter Angelos tarnished the Orioles Way. I hadn't realized how utterly lacking in class the game had become.

I've posted plenty (of women's links); the silence is deafening. don't let a paucity of comments discourage you, lil_brown_bat. some of my favorite sportsfilter days are when i visit the site and see a cricket link. i've never commented in one and probably never will, but that does not mean i didn't visit the link and learn something. please continue to share links you feel are significant with us knuckle-draggers. we're slow to learn, but eventually we'll catch on, and sportsfilter will be a better place for it.

from the best softball tv episode ever. I'm not sure....(Simpsons) has to be right up there. no way, dudes. the wkrp softball episode was THE seminal moment in small-screen softballiana. (2nd link warning: WAV) ANDY: Les, WPIG has a city league softball team. They're very good. Now, last year they beat the Baptists. on topic: JJ, softball rules are basically the same as baseball: basic rules, faqs i still wanna know what IM softball is, mbd1.

my comment from yesterday: it's hard to pass judgement when we don't know what the boy did to possibly "deserve" the award. but jeez the kid is 13 and willing to play team sports despite his size....i can't think of anything he could have possibly done to justify such an action by adults who are getting paid to teach him. (Joe Goodwin works (or worked) at Pleasantville and coaches basketball, but doesn't neccesarily coach at Pleasantville.)

apologies, ac. i just got the impression that you had said your (understandable) peace and would be moving along. it didn't seem like you were interested in better of understanding of where rcade or this community is coming from. perhaps, i posted too rashly. (may i suggest further "meta" comments not directly related to the topic be posted in the lockerroom thread, though any details of that night you would be willing to provide would be very appropriate and appreciated in this thread.)

oops...my league minimum number is way off: rookie min is $230,000 in 2004. still.

the relevance is that i work for the large corporation despite the fact that my paycheck comes from the tiny group....which seems a pretty easy comparison to "The NFL does not employ any players and does not send them checks." a player on an nfl franchise works for the nfl. but maybe i totally missed your point, both in that statement and in general. are you seriously taking some proletariat tack that the draft is a basic injustice to the working rights of potential rookies? i am just in stunned of that viewpoint as it is completely alien to me (which is why i love sportsfilter). these men are paid a league minimum of $750,000 to play a game that they love to play. a player drafted in the first half of the first round will get many times that figure no matter who signs him. but, of course, the money isn't the issue. the issue is Archie/Eli's right to be ass about having to play for a team for whom he would rather not play. his right is obvious, but our right to "hate" him for it is just as obvious. so you would do away with the draft and replace it with a complete free agent system for rookies? because Eli should get to choose who he plays for? he can choose...the Canadian Football League or the Arena League or the NFL. but he has to work under the system of whichever league he chooses. and if he wants to bitch about it, and you want to say "it's no fun" for him ... i dunno, like i say, i'm stunned.

rocketman, your analogy is completely flawed. no, it's not completely flawed, yerfatma. in fact, it's not even partially flawed...damn straight the players work for the nfl. who writes the checks is irrelevant. the teams are franchises of the nfl. i work for a tiny group of the north american division of a large multi-national corporation. my checks come from the tiny group, but i am most certainly bound by the rules of the larger organization. The NFL draft: fun to watch, not so great to be part of. i can't believe i just read that.

very interesting take, fraze. but ultimately it breaks down as these top employees are going to the top organization in their field, the NFL. the draft system only decides which field office the new hire will work in.

I still HATE John Elway for what he did to baltimore. i respect the Mannings and this is different than elway, but close enuff that some of that respect is forever gone. still, the media is hyping this waay out of proportion (as they do the draft as a whole).

when i saw it on ESPN, i thought it was some fantasy thing...like how in some football leagues you can have the "Miami QB" no matter who actually fills the position. oh and fucktard "barry bonds" yields 8 results (and hey guess who is number one) while 'fucktard "bobby bonds"' yields zero. (oh and you people owe me an hour of my life back.)
