    Free Agent contract is definitely taking a hit....which definitely puts resigning with the Royals back in play which many fans around KC want, but the real fans don't because a 33 year old arm getting $18 million a year is crazy...and some foolish team is going to pay the price for him in the off season

    Where did they even get that?

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not seen any of the transformers movies and cannot verify or deny any touchdown passes megatron may catch in that movie.

    Famous Jameis - although it is certainly quite fitting, almost hilarious someone can become 'famous' for d-baggery!

    How about the "Freak" Tim Lincecum

    the Giants are paying him around 20 million a year and he didn't even make the post season roster.

    It seems like if your name is James, it's mandatory that your nickname be Big Game.

    Even if Lame seems much more appropriate for this guy.
