Athletes of the good ol'

Athletes of the good ol' days, though, stayed with their teams because they couldn't leave. It wasn't allowed. So I wouldn't be one to glorify the so-called loyalty of many past players.

Like you, I am concerned about an all-too-free free agency. I wish there was more loyalty. That's why I'll boo Torii on his return to Minnesota.

See, that’s where you’re wrong: you can and should blame Hunter for taking the money and running. Whatever happened to loyalty? What about dedication to a team? What about the fact that Hunter said all along that he was hoping to stay a Twin? Well, if he really wanted to, he’d still be a Twin.

If the franchise made no effort to resign Hunter or indicated to him that he was not in their long-term plans, that would be a different story. But the Twins were offering a contract – they just weren’t able to flash the kind of dollar signs other teams could.

Big-name athletes make a ridiculous sum of money – more money than I’ll ever make, that’s for sure. I could live for years off the money Hunter would make in interest from the contract the Twins were offering.

Athletes can definitely afford to take a pay cut if they really wanted to stay with a team or if they really had loyalty to a franchise. Those who take the money in free agency are just being greedy and really have no respect for their team or the fans.

We can't blame Torii for taking the big payday or a long-term deal. But we can boo him in the Dome on Opening Day.

The economics of baseball

The economics of baseball certainly make it hard on the loyal baseball fan kn the small market.

I really had hoped Hunter would stay with the Twins. He went for the big bucks. Can you really blame him for getting paid?

The business side of the game can be cruel.

Yeah, that's cool. I'd

Yeah, that's cool. I'd highly recommend this fun video. It's only three minutes long.

I can do you one better, Mathias. This is a one for fans of Broadway Musicals AND everyone's favorite wizard, Harry Potter. Check it out at YouTube. To those not sure of the music source, it's from the Broadway show "Wicked," the story the Wicked Witch of the West and the good Witch Glinda before Dorothy landed in Oz.

I think my favorite is the people kareokeing to “I had the time of my life.” Wow. I had forgotten about that cheese-fest of a song.

That’s a much better

That’s a much better helmet cam than mine, actually. This person probably didn’t use duct tape to attach the camera. I will say, though, that my ride was much colder.

Since they were based out of California, I considered them as an American group, but you're correct in that their lineage is British.

Either way, as you said, why not use an American artist/group?

I agree - why not use an

Brandon — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 11:28:09 -0500

I agree - why not use an American artist? Or at least an artist less well known than Celine?

But I think you're talking about "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac as Bill's song. Fleetwood Mac actually formed in London (by members of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers). By the time they recorded that song, though, half the band's members were American and half were English. I don't know if I'd call them an American group, though.

It's sad that with her

It's sad that with her running for president of the US that she had a song by a Canadian artist which was previously used by a Canadian airline on one of their commercials as one of the contenders for her campaign theme song...

Even her hubby used a song from an American group when he ran the first time.

Yeah, sweet Vid --excellent

Jacob did an excellent job on that video! I’d definitely like to see him direct and shoot a few more videos.
