Justin Verlander signs a 5 year-$80 million dollar contract with the “our stadium holds more people than actually live in” Detroit Tigers. He is a top 5 pitcher and deserves the contract.
Verlander will receive a $500,000 signing bonus. He’ll earn $6.75 million this year, $12.75 million in 2011 and $20 million in each of the following three seasons.
I would kill for that kind of money. Seriously, I will. You need anyone dead and have $80 million to spare? I’ll do it. So what does Justin do with all of his new money?

This year is the first time I will be able to see professional baseball outdoors. Target Field opens up this season, at first I wasn’t really excited about sitting outside to watch baseball. For as long as I’ve been a baseball fan all I’ve had was the metrodome.

Now we have a great new stadium and I am excited for baseball season to start.

The title of this post really says it all.
- No one gets knocked out.
- They fight for points with weak little punches.
- They are constantly hugging and no one throws punches from that position.
- They have pads the size of a large baby on their fists.
- NO ONE GETS KNOCKED OUT!
- I don’t think anyone likes seeing a 12 round decision.
- The undercards to “big” fights blow.
Old school boxing was awesome because nobody knew any better. MMA is 1000 times better than boxing. The fights are rarely boring. They are actually fighters not just punchers.

Floyd Mayweather is boxing still apparently. I thought he retired two fights ago. I guess I was wrong. Well according to Floyd everyone is a racist. ( From ESPN )
In an otherwise calm meeting with reporters on Tuesday, including ESPN.com’s Kieran Mulvaney, Mayweather calmly and matter-of-factly lashed out at what he thinks is unfair treatment from the media and the public, in part because of his race.
“If you’re rich, you’re a rich n—–,” he said. “If you’re poor, you’re a poor n—-. If you’re smart, you’re a smart n—–. At the end of the day, they still look at me as a n—–.”
Where do you live? The south in the 1900’s? Get a life dude.
“One thing you never hear. You never hear anything negative about Oscar De La Hoya,” he said. “Anything he do negative, it gets swept under the rug.”
Yeah, noone saw these pics -
