Yeah, Price's deal is probably at least $50 million underwater right now. Even with pitcher costs the way they've been so far this offseason, I can't imagine he would get more than 3/45 or so as a free agent based on his recent performance, health, and age.

100% of Red Sox fans I've heard from have taken the cheating allegation news with some version of, "Fuck it, whatever, fine them out the wazoo, I don't care" (I am not excepted from this group). It's unreal how far our morale as a fanbase has fallen in the past 14 months.

Haha. Your town and mine are forever united by scandal and Cora.

Omg, Boston hasn’t won a championship in like 20 minutes... fan moral is in the dumps! Lol, what a bunch of entitled pussies. Imagine living in a state where the most recent championship was 30 years ago and 3/4 of your major franchises have never won a championship. Then talk about fan moral. Fuck Boston.

I wouldn't care if they got fined, either. That's a terrible punishment. The league needs to suspend team personnel involved and strip the teams of draft picks and IFA signing allotments. That would actually hurt the team.

Might be because they are also Patriot fans?

If Cora gets a 2-year suspension, can the Sox hire Hinch next year?

Guy, my prime sports watching years as a kid were from 1984 to 2000. During that time, I saw the Buckner play live in '86, plenty of INTs from Drew Bledsoe, the Bears killing the Pats 46-10 in the Super Bowl and Desmond Howard and the Packers humiliate the Patriots in the '96 Super Bowl.

Then there's the drought: From '86 to 2000 (17 years) there wasn't a single title among the four major sports teams. Believe me, we suffered through a lot of losing and gut punching seasons from all these teams.

But yeah, 30 years does suck. I guess sports is about what degree of suckiness sucks the most and cheating is sometimes worthwhile.

The Twins last WS was in 1991. Since then they’ve lost 15 consecutive playoff games including 12 straight to the Yankees. Every other team in the AL Central has appeared in the World Series since the Twins last won a playoff game. The Royals and White Sox have won the WS.

The Vikings have lost 4 Super Bowls, 6 consecutive conference championship games, and 30 total playoff games - more than any team in NFL history. Their biggest rival, the GB Packers, remain a Super Bowl contender, having had about 25 consecutive years of QB play from Hall of Famers Brett Favre and Aaron Rogers.

The Timberwolves are perennial losers that had the longest playoff drought in the NBA until recently, and have just one conference finals appearance in Franchise history - a loss to the Lakers, Minneapolis’s former team, and one of the most successful franchises in pro sports history.

Minnesota is called “The State of Hockey”, yet the MN Wild have had very little post season success to speak of. After replacing the beloved North Stars that broke hearts by leaving the state of hockey for freaking Texas, the Wild have made just one conference finals appearance in franchise history, and regularly get sent home by their biggest divisional rival - the Chicago Blackhawks.

Brutal.
