What is going on down at the baseball Winter Meetings in Dallas? Up is down mustard is red and the Anahiem Angels of Los Angeles California United States are the biggest spenders followed by the "Miami" Marlins?
Did the New York Yankees not buy Brian Cashman a plane ticket down to Texas? Oh wait they retained AndrUw Jones. Would Albert Puj Pujols do anything and I mean ANYTHING for more money? Really $250 mil as oppose to $209ish to stay with St Louis and be an all time legend in a great baseball town? He is a clown. The Angels also reeled in an over hyped CJ Wilson for five years and $77.5 million. Yeesh.
Back to the Marlins though. What the hell are they doing? Jose Reyes is an exciting player and all but he is injury prone, not worth $17 mil per and already plays a position that is filled with an entrenched player, Hanley Ramirez. Moreover, Han-Ram is a prima donna who is already asking for a restructured deal or worse yet a trade because he refuses to move to third base. The Mark Buehrle contract isn't bad but is still a bit surprising. Yes the Marlins have new digs and a new stadium but will anyone even attend or care? Those in South Beach haven't proven it yet.
On to other teams that this blog may care about: New York Mets less active than the Yankees, Cleveland Indians are they still a major league team (oh yeah they resigned oft injured Grady Sizemore) Boston Red Sox surprisingly have kept the wallet shut except for agreeing to arbitration with "Big Papi" and the Tampa Rays of course haven't done anything but rumors of a few trades circling the drain.
In all of this has everyone forgotten about fat boy Prince Fielder? Dude is younger than Puj and has similar if not better numbers. I could see him staying with Milwaukee.
For my money the best players left are Michael Cuddyer, Carlos Pena, Casey Kotchman and Josh Willingham. Sorry Carlos Beltran, you suck.
Remember this name, Yu Darvish.
Hey Puj I got $5 with your name on it if you take out my garbage.

NHL dramatically realigning
From ESPN:
The Sabres are in "conference c" with their new rivals the Lightning and Panthers?
There will be two conferences with eight teams and two with seven teams instead of the current format of six five-team divisions. Teams will play five or six intraconference games and home-and-home series with nonconference teams.

Why, whyyyyy. Titans 23 Bills 17 F
by Steve
My thoughts are best expressed by one Nancy Kerrigan:
What did we as Buffalo Bills fans do to deserve this?? This season this team this franchise NIGHTMARE. Will it ever end or is it on a perpetual loop that we will have to continuously live until Ralph Wilson bites it we are held hostage by the NFL to pay through the nose to keep the team in Buffalo for 7ish home games.
It isn't even worth breaking down the game. I don't even remember half of it. It seems like nothing ever happens in these games. Scott Chandler had a costly fumble, there was a holding call on a long CJ Spiller run. Some other things happened I think and the Bills lost as per usual.
I would honestly feel bad for the players that have been here awhile ala Kelsay and Moorman but they are handsomely paid so fuck 'em.
5 STRAIGHT L'S? WAS THIS TEAM REALLY 5-2 THIS SEASON? How? Why? When. Uhhhg

Andrew Nicholson v Javon McCrea
by Steve
The place to be tonight will be Alumni Arena out in the swamps of Amherst as two of the best "Big" 4 prospects in a generation square off. Andrew Nicholson the 6'9 junior and potential lottery pick in next years NBA draft, although I don't buy it, and 6'6 sophomore Javon McCrea are both studs.
The only potential damper on this epic match up tonight is the health of Nicholson. Here is Schmitty covering for his boy after a terrible L v Ark St Thursday, "He's got bronchitis but we need him to play better," Schmidt said. "He wasn't really looking for his shot. A lot of times when he was double-teamed we needed him to split the double-team. ... He's a little bit under the weather but that's not an excuse. We need him to play better." Hopefully he is feeling better and ready to ball up.
On the other hand Javon and co are beaming after thoroughly thumping Dayton in Dayton on Wednsday. McCrea is only a sophomore and getting better by the minute. He was the final cut on the USA under 19 team over the summer and has improved in points, rebounds and assists over last year.
UB is -5.5, the over under is 133 and my free duckets are priceless. See you there.

Tennessee Titans @ Buffalo Bills preview
by Steve
For no explainable reason I smell a Bills drubbing of the Titans on Sunday. This team by no means is good. In fact they are a bad football team especially with the brutal number of injuries sustained. However, the Titans are at least as bad.
Tennessee has one good win this season over a Baltimore team coming off a heavy hangover after drubbing their hated rival the Steelers the week before. Matt Hasselbeck is basically an older Ryan Fitzpatrick. He is sorta good with limited ability in decline. He will have to depend heavily on Chris Johnson to pound the rock on the Bills porous defense.
Johnson after getting PAID big time has had an awful season. True he had a fluke game last week against a bad Bucs team that has mailed in the season but over all he has proven he isn't worth the cashe he got. Then again no running back is. Either way he'll get his 100 yards you can take that to the bank but that is no big win against the 21st ranked Bills rushing D. And the only reason the Bills are 21st is because the last 5+ games no team has even had to run the ball since they can do whatever the hell they want in the passing game.
The Bills defense is one of the worst in recent memory. They don't generate pressure, they can't get off the field on third down and they have given up the third most passing TDs in the league. The question then is obvious, why the hell do I like the Bills on Sunday?
Gut feeling. The Bills haven't played at the Ralph since 2003 seemingly (actually 11/6) and it is the last watchable (the game is blacked out so worth while?) game of the season. The fans (all 57,000) will show up in force and the team will still feel decently well about themselves after blowing the Jets game they should have won.
Also Tennessee doesn't do anything great and has few impact players on defense and they have no impact wide receivers. They have no one with more than 3 sacks. Damian Williams? Dave Ball? And Mike Munchak is a bit of a joke.
