Manram and TO

Manny signs with the Dodgers. Told ya so. Almost identical terms that he had refused - 2 years, $45 million - but no deferred money. The Dodgers knew he would do this, they were just trying to help their own pockets a little. They are better off giving him the 2 years guarenteed.

And Terrell Owens gets released by the 'Boys. Football fans, this is going to get real entertaining. The fun has only just begun. Soon (maybe), TO will have a new team and a new quarterback to disparrage. Personally, I can't wait for the reporters in his driveway again. Raiders, you are on the clock. Because I can't think of anyone else that would sign him.

Manny and the Dodgers

Attention all baseball fans. Manny Ramirez will play for the dodgers in 2009. The two sides are almost at an agreement as far as the terms. But the Dodgers aren't putting that spin on it. Instead, we are being told that the negotiations are starting from scratch.

Which is just a creative way to say Manny will be signed late in spring training, but before the season starts. Manny hates spring training. Duh. By saying negotiations will start from scratch, the Dodgers have an easy out when they agree to terms with Manram that will be very similar to terms they have already offered.
