Bradford wins Heisman

Sam Bradford won the Heisman tonight, even though he was 2nd to Tim Tebow in 1st place votes. Oklahoma great Steve Owens went nuts on stage screaming “Boomer” the whole time. Hopefully, Bradford won’t be affected by the “Heisman Curse” — I think I’ll be going to Miami as a Witch Doctor:

However, on the Yankee side of the deal, how’d they make out? There are the obvious arguments: money, length of contract, etc. And there are some interesting niches to this contract: Sabathia’s opt out clause after the 3rd year of his contract.

Is the opt out an ace-in-the-hole for the Yankees or Sabathia? If the Yankees want Sabathia gone after 3 can they “strongly encourage” him to opt out?

Check out Buster Olney’s article about it over on his ESPN blog.

*Edit: Apparently, Sabathia’s new contract is the richest in MLB history for a pitcher.

You can see the New York Post’s original article here.

And, part deux:

Is that desk made out of particle board…?

In particular, I think that fantasy scoring trivializes Hall of Fame football players like Tampa Bay’s Derrick Brooks. Jaws was right to point this out during his MNF broadcast. A perennial Pro-Bowler, who nobody outside of Tampa really knows. Why shouldn’t fantasy football drafts make its players draft individual defensive players?
