How bout allowing teams to turn in their last years first round picks, kinda like an upgrade? put a name like joe forte on a ball maybe? or i would have gladly taken back the Robert "stuck in the mud-tractor" traylor for the next years pick. Talk about parity, a sucky player going to another team might help mine beat em. Hell, apply it to all rounds, i might only keep two players on my bucks roster.

Sheffield was, is, and always will be an arrogant player. Regardless of talent he's been a cancer on all the ballclubs he played on. My brewers saw the promising player that he was and on the flipside saw the selfishness- and the damage that one player can do to a TEAM in one season. We applauded when he left, just like the yankee fans did and detroit fans will too. His allegations about racism in baseball has always been a crutch for him to defend his poor, selfish attitude (sound familiar Barry Bonds?) whereas people hate him because he's a jerk and a quiter and not because he is black. I know there is racism still in baseball, but to have Sheffield as the mouthpiece for all African American baseball players, i think it does a disservice to them because the true problem gets overshadowed by his history.

New team, new start for Ravens' McGahee
I wasn't, I guess, a team leader. But if you aren't happy, you're just going to do your own job and don't worry about nothing else. They asked. But that isn't like me to be trying to get other grown men fired up. They know what they've got to do."Sounds like baltimores got a real good player coming to them, look how great Randy Moss is over in Oakland, real team players. I hear Ray Lewis choked the G.M. for the trade, cause he needed another buddy to go out drinking with, wear the B.P. vest willie!
