  1. Montgomery's leave of absence was because he's battling cancer.

    They used Montgomery's illness as an excuse to get rid of him.

    Here is a summary of the report by Eskin:

    • David Montgomery, part owner and former president, did not step aside from the team back in August voluntarily for health reasons, but was instead pushed out by the owners due to decisions he has made in re-signing some of the older veterans on the team.

    • John Middleton, who is currently a minority owner, has been collecting ownership of the team, and now owns 48% of the team. No owner can own the majority, unless it is approved in a vote, which is expected to take place. That would allow Middleton to BECOME the majority owner.

    • Middleton, when/if he has majority control, will allow Pat Gillick to serve as the president of the team, and the two will be heavily involved in baseball decisions. It sounds like general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. will remain.

    • First baseman Ryan Howard will almost "certainly" not be back with the team, and the Phillies are willing to pay almost all of the $61 million remaining on his contract to get him out.

    • The Phillies will look into trading pitcher Cole Hamels for younger players. The Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs both are expected to make a hard push for Hamels.

    I'd like to hear one @nfl player say that @RayRice27 is a disgusting animal! Everyone is being so politically correct and 'nonjudgmental'!

  4. So for all these years David Stern backed the NBA lottery system and said nothing was wrong with it but as soon as they GIVE the Cavs the #1 pick.....NOW THEY WANT TO CHANGE IT. They got LeBron back to Cleveland....thats what they wanted. If Cavs dont get the #1 pick...and get the 8th or 9th do we still think LeBron goes home? Wiggins is going to get him Love. But NOW ALL OF THE SUDDEN the lottery doesnt seem fair.
