I agree with the fact that their 2 best pitchers were injured for a lot of the year but I still don't think that can even come close to being an excuse for them not making the playoffs. An injured Prior and Wood along with Zambrano, Clement, and Greg Maddux is still in the top 3 if not the best pitching staff in baseball. The players and fans alike seemed so confident that the cubs were just going to march right into the playoffs that everyone forgot that they still had to win games. When the team started worrying about their commentators making them look bad to the fans (players did that fine themself), their season was over right there.

Gimme the money.
Ricky Williams trying to come back all of a sudden is a joke. If he didn't have to repay 8 odd million dollars back to the team, noone would be talking about this right now. He is a damn good running back but he is not a football player in the true sense. He retired because he was sick of taking a pounding and he was just hoping the Dolphins wouldn't want their money back. He was wrong. Now that he has to pay his "hard earned" money back he is showing his true selfishness and trying to lie his way back into the league. I used to love to watch the guy play and rooted for him. Now I could care less if he falls off his big yacht and is eated by a Dolphin, haha.
