Marlins at Reds (5/4-5/6)

Does anyone think that St Louis paid Jockety to screw our franchise up? -
Marlins at Reds (5/4-5/6)
sportsmaniac replied to CincySportsFan's topic in Major League Baseball (MLB)
I went to the game. They can’t even get enough fans in the stadium to give away all the bobble heads last night. The fans, the atmosphere, and most importantly the team is apathetic. It is bad! -
Hank Aaron and Davey Johnson? More recent teammates McGwire and Canseco?

Jason Witten to retire? Join MNF.
sportsmaniac replied to archangel's topic in National Football League (NFL)
One of my all-time Cowboy favorites! I have been a Cowboy fan my entire life and a sports fan! Jason Witten is class personified. He was great on the field and off the field. He is what all athletes should be! -
10-6

Reds Have Finally Fired Bryan Price!!

Reds Have Finally Fired Bryan Price!!
sportsmaniac replied to UKMustangFan's topic in Major League Baseball (MLB)
I am very disappointed in our manager, who was fired and also our front office. Let's be honest when you trade away quality major league players you have to get something in return. Look at some of the trades: Jay Bruce - We got Dilson Herrara and who? NOTHING! Johnny Cueto - Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb, Cody Reed - They have not produced Brandon Phillips - Nothing Aroldis Chapman - Nothing being produced in majors Todd Frazier - Scott Schebler and Jose Peraza (Ok Trade) Mike Leake - Adam Duvall We did not get individuals that have helped the organization. When we went out and got players to help us in 2010-2013 look at who we gave up. Players that have played well at the major league level: Didi Gregorious Yonder Alonzo Yasmani Grandal Brad Boxberger We gave up quality prospects in trades when we got players that could help. I don't think we have gotten quality prospects back in our trades lately. -

Peraza and Suarez were acquired in trades. -
NAIA adding 8 new teams including Thomas More
sportsmaniac replied to rsmith6971's topic in College Basketball
The bigger question is how does this impact student athletes? In the state of Ky there are several NAIA Div 1 schools. They will all lose scholarships from 11-8. This will reduce the number of players getting scholarships each year. -
South Oldham naming Court for Coach Steve Simpson
sportsmaniac replied to buttels's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Congratulations Coach Simpson! He was my first High School Coach. He was my freshman coach in 1985-86 season. He has come so far since then. When I played for him, he told us we were not allowed to shoot anything but elbow shots and FTS! He has changed a lot! He is a great man and a great coach. He also had great influence on my brother who played for him. I am happy for him and his family! He has done a great job in his career as a coach, teacher, and mentor! Many lives affected in a very positive way! Great job coach!!!! -
Kentucky All Star Team
sportsmaniac replied to PurplePride92's topic in KY Girls Basketball (High School)
I agree. I was a boys head coach and had an All State Honorable Mention Guard that shot lights out at the tryout and should have made the team and didn’t. He shot better than anybody in the gym that day and it didn’t matter. Would have saved everyone’s time if they just pick team. -
Bryan Price is on the hottest of seats
sportsmaniac replied to LRCW's topic in Major League Baseball (MLB)
I am beginning to think that Price wants fired too. Some of the moves just do not make any sense at all. -
Impact of NKU's 2017 NCAA Tournament Apperance
sportsmaniac replied to MJAlltheWay24's topic in College Basketball
The cost of college at all levels is causing less students to attend the traditional 4 year university. They have made dorms so nice it is better than most apartments and they charge for it too! -
Dayton and Lloyd coaches
sportsmaniac replied to broadcaster240's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Yes they are brothers. I believe their dad was a head coach in Ohio and is retired now. -
He is done!

How does baseball fix salary inequality?
sportsmaniac replied to Voice of Reason's topic in Major League Baseball (MLB)
The Astros do not win it if they don’t take on Verlander’s contract last year in mid season. They will have to blow up the team in 3-5 years because of salaries. As a fan that sucks to know you can’t continue to root for those players on your team but for a short time. If costs are more controlled, the salaries would be more controlled and easier to keep a core of players together. -

I agree that there needs to be a salary cap. The inequities in team salaries let’s half the fan bases know that their team has no chance each year. -
Mason Faulkner has been released from NKU
sportsmaniac replied to DukeDog's topic in College Basketball
I don’t think it will effect Brannen’s resume at all. I think this is just the world we live in now. 20 years ago it would have been a red flag not today! -

Brad Carr is the new Holmes coach
sportsmaniac replied to theguru's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Congratulations Coach Carr! -
I would love the opportunity to coach Holmes. My wife might tell me otherwise though. 2 children in college and a 3rd on her way in 2 years. Not sure I can afford a pay cut. I think it is a great job though! I think it is one of the top jobs in NKY if handled correctly.
