Chico for years has been trying to get Doc to wear a hairpiece

Either shave it or get a rug

When the wind blows his hair stands up and is all on one side of the head like a lopsided mohawk without the cool of one

Random thought, and possibly a butt joke not mentioned yet.

Are the Flyers going to put a stop to smacking each other's ass for good plays and such his season?

Maybe ESPN's CEO can get up on a podium and completely defend the impeccable integrity of Smith, just like Harbaugh did for Rice.

He'll be suspended for 2 broadcasts. Neil Everett will get 8 for rolling a blunt in the lobby

Is Ryan Howard going to become a 25M a year pinch hitter?

Somewhere else
Collecting a fat buyout and becoming fat
He will be larger than Willie Stargell was

Not sure, but I don't think there is such a thing as a buyout in baseball, but I could be wrong.

The Flyers should sign Putin as the 4th center- anyone ever see the pic of him on the ice ? The KGB had their own team ( Moscow Dynamo) and no doubt he threatened players who wouldnt come to play for them if they were not snagged by the Red Army team first-

I can see the refs & the commish disappearing to Siberia to a gulag and the first cup since 75

Its the only way to disarm the NHL hate for the Flyers is to trump it with something more of a deterrent.

No the Phillies will pay him and release him as rumored today in other media

I believe you can release a player, but you'd still be on hook to pay the entire contract, so why bother? Heck, better to trade him and eat 80-90% of the $$. For under 5 mil per year, maybe someone takes a chance on him?

I think they can platoon him with Ruf. It's not like he's blocking some great prospect right now. If Franco proves to be good enough, then I would be fine releasing him.

Uggla just got released from the Braves. They still owed him a poopload of money. Uggla was having a horrific year though and La Stella looks like he's nailed down the 2b spot for now and the future of the braves.

Yup.

Love Stuart Scott andJohn Anderson and Steve Levy though. Can't stand what they put on that show. Football, basketball, Lebron, rinse, repeat.

I don't know the rules like I do with Hockey, but I guess that money would also still count against the Phillies payroll for luxury tax purposes, even if they release him, correct?

this x 1000. I liked Dan Patrick as well. Craig Kilborn, Keith Olberman...back when they actually had to know sports as opposed to just going, "In more LeBron news..." and "DUNKS!" all show long

I actually get annoyed when they cover hockey.

First off, Melrose has no clue.

More importantly though I see it as hypocritical. Like if your brother hates your favorite band and then all of a sudden puts them on in the car. Like go (frank) yourself stop catering to people. If you're not gonna cover hockey, don't cover it. These 2 minute segments every week and then highlights of the playoffs just piss me off.

Again. I know.

I just found out a good friend's uncle is basically waiting to die. They found it and it's inoperable.

Cancer sucks. (frank) it.

I could care less about their hockey coverage. That said, Melrose did a Union vs. BC game in Ghost's sophmore year. The amount of gushing he was doing over Ghost and Gaudreau put Pierre's Crosby crush to shame. It was actually kinda nice having it happen to one of our guys as well as a local product.

Jimmy Vs was the best speech I've ever watched. Still to this day.

I agree. The sad part is they waste so much time during the show on meaningless things.

I'm a big basketball and football fan and they don't even cover those sports well. They have dumbass people breaking down the games and show very few highlights.

It's become a talk show of people who don't know what they're talking about.
