Are you suggesting MLB teams are not profitable? There is nothing preventing rich owners from spending money; they are *choosing* not to and then...
There's this false idea that if teams can't compete with the Dodgers' spending, they're wholly justified not spending at all. These teams *can*...
The Brewers are worth $1.7 billion dollars; the Royals $1.3. Let's not confuse "can't" with "don't want to." Those teams can spend. The average...
Doubtful. Unless Meyers hits, they're going to need someone to play CF when he's lifted for a PH and/or they may need defensive replacements for...
Nothing flew over my head. I wasn't responding to the idea the Astros should've traded Tucker prior to the 2024 season. That's an entirely...
Yes, Davis, Jay Pennison was the center. Davis/Munchak/Pennison/Matthews/Steinkuler was the OL in the Glanville hey-day ('87-'89). Maggs &...
You guys are going to kill me............ Pennison. Jay Pennison. Not Pennington. Pennington was a weak-armed QB for the Jets
You're significantly discounting his contract ending, which impacts the return. Getting two above-average MLB starters *and* an elite prospect for...
Just guessing - but if the season started tomorrow, I think they'd feel better about their OL than WR room. They don't really have a viable...
*Pennison* His name was Jay Pennison, lol. And he never played with Harvey Salem. Salem held out in '86 and was then traded in September. It's why...
It's not a terribly difficult argument. The only OL with more 1st team All-Pro selections than Matthews' 7 (several are tied with him) are Otto...
It's likely. But as I said in another post: DeMeco didn't draft Derek Stingley, Jalen Pitre or Christian Harris.
Steinkuler was never healthy. Knee was wrecked in college, IIRC. Probably played bone-on-bone for the entirety of his career.
So Matthews moved to LG in '95, two years after Munchak retired. I did not remember Munchak only playing 12 seasons; seemed like he was there...
No; Steinkuler was their starting RT. Williams was selected in '89 and, yes - as @Buck Turgidson said, was involved in Babygate in... was that...
Unless Munchak was hurt, Matthews never played LG - at least, not during the heyday. Not sure what he did, post run'n'shoot/Tennessee eras. He...
2, 8 & 9 for Steinkuler, Munchak & Matthews. And it was Jay *Pennison* (interestingly, undrafted). Just tidying up. Steinkuler was hurt often....
The Texans' offseason hasn't been subtle; they've told us quite a bit about how they intend to fix the OL - are people not listening?: - they did...
Eh... Stingley, Pitre and Harris were all pre-Demeco, and were picked with limited resources (no first or second round picks in '21). Since DeMeco...
I would argue Jarrett Patterson, too. And we can't write-off Scruggs and/or Fisher until we see how they do with competent coaching. I don't know...
