Subject: Harvard Football Alumnus Author: An Observer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:14:21 10/22/24 Tue This morning, The Athletic, now owned by and officially the sports section of The New York Times, published a headline which -- word for word -- parrots a headline I wrote here two years ago. The headline was, "DeShaun Watson Now Officially The Worst Trade in Sports History." I can't provide a link because, as of right now (3:15 PM Eastern Time), the story is off the Times' website. This is clearly a touchy subject, perhaps the touchiest of the current headlines in the sports section. The relevance to us is that the trade was initiated, engineered and structured by Harvard football alumnus and Cleveland Brown general manager Andrew Berry, who famously has a brother who played for Princeton. That's quite an Ivy family. But this was a bad trade. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Details of Ruth Trade Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:05:02 10/23/24 Wed There were contingent payments *FROM* the Red Sox *TO* the Yankees that were triggered when Ruth demanded and received a new contract after the trade. Considering the contingent payments, the Red Sox literally paid the Yankees to take the greatest baseball player at that time and arguably of all time, away from Yawkey Way. https://sabr.org/journal/article/sale-of-the-century-the-yankees-bought-babe-ruth-for-nothing/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Back to The Future Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:30:16 10/27/24 Sun The Cleveland Browns go to back-up journeyman quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston throws for 333 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Winston looked like he was behind the wheel of the Florida State Seminoles Porsche offense once more. It was 2013 all over again. The 2-4 Browns shock the division-leading 5-2 Baltimore Ravens. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
