    Clayton Kershaw signs a 7-year $215 million extension with Dodgers

      I thought I read somewhere about teams adopting the airline ticket/hotel model where prices fluctuate depending on demand etc. and having a computer figure it out game by game. After all, seats that aren't sold is just money that isn't being made.   And the Dodgers have drawn 3 million+ nearly...

    Clayton Kershaw signs a 7-year $215 million extension with Dodgers

    The key is that Kershaw is 25. The Dodgers have him for his 26-32 years, which are historically the peak for Kershaw (scary to think about him actually getting better). Is there a risk? Always. But the biggest risk for the Dodgers is in the # of years and not in the actual $ amount, and this...

    Clayton Kershaw signs a 7-year $215 million extension with Dodgers

    I think it's worth it.    The Dodgers can afford it.   Kershaw is 25. 25!   They get the 26-32 years of Kershaw, the peak years.   People may not realize it, but he's the best pitcher in baseball right now. Kershaw has the lowest ERA of any starter through age 25 with min. 1000IP not named...

    Jacksonity......or the Knick thread

    Just read the article too, and thought of Tiger as well. He pretty much destroys that entire argument too. Tiger Woods sure as hell got a lot of attention - and while Cam Newton may not be deified, Tiger sure as hell was unlike pretty much any other athlete of this generation outside maybe Jordan.

    Jacksonity......or the Knick thread

    That's why the Tebow comparisons for Lin also annoy me. Tebow was a highly touted recruit that picked Florida over a slew of other BCS title competitors, then won a National Championship, and got picked (way early) in the first round Lin had no scholarship offers from any of the D1 NCAA...

    45 minutes is an absurd amount of time to be on the court, but that 3 of Nowitzki was great. Fearless

    QUOTE (bowiac @ Jun 14 2010, 11:50 PM) There should be a fascinating book coming forward eventually to explain how all this happened. Questions I'd like to see answered: 1. Why wasn't the Big 10 more involved with Texas & Company? 2. Why was this all moving so quickly seemingly? These are...

    QUOTE (WestMassExpat @ Jun 14 2010, 06:03 PM) As a Texas fan/alum I like having a nine-game round robin conference schedule. This conference is better than the old Southwest Conference was, and from a competition standpoint, it's now way easier for the second-tier teams to sneak into a...

    It'll be interesting to see what the new contract for the potential new PAC-whatever would be, if all that's been rumored does go through. People forget the Pac-10 has been stuck with a 10-year old contract, while college football has exploded in popularity. The potential Pac-16 or whatever...

    So the next big announcement is due Tuesday? That's when people are expecting Texas, Tech, OU and OSU to make their move... I would love to see A&M stick with the group and go to the Pac-10... just about every place for them to go west would be an amazing spectacle to see... and frankly, going...
