One year ago today, NFL owners voted 31-1 in favor of allowing the Raiders to relocate to Las Vegas. Today, the league is expected to present to owners an analysis of a potential landscape with legalized sports betting.

MLB:

more concern over puk's status:

here’s concern that top Oakland A’s pitching prospect A.J. Puk may have a ligament issue in his pitching elbow, sources tell FanRag Sports.
Puk, a superb talent who’d been dominating in spring training and even looked at times like an outside threat to make the team, was shut down by the team about a week ago after being diagnosed initially with biceps soreness. But the worries seem to be growing since then.
Puk has been to doctors in the interim, and was thought to be going now for second opinions. If there is indeed a ligament issue, one remedy could be Tommy John surgery, which would cost him the season.
The A’s noticed a drop in Puk’s velocity in each of his last two spring outings, causing the initial concern. Puk, who normally throws in the high-90s, was throwing close to the 92-94 range, which isn’t bad for most pitchers but well below his usual standard.


A'S NOW WOTH A RABBIT THAT DELIOVERS THE BALLS---ULTIMATE LOOK OVER HERE WHILE WE SUCK AND TRADE OUR GUYS---WON'T WORK--IT'S ALL ABOUT WINNING ---INVEST IN THAT


Harvey the Rabbit dates back to our KC days and moved to Oakland with the A's. He would pop out of the ground throughout the game to deliver baseballs to the home plate umpire. New Harvey will be remote-controlled and will deliver the ceremonial first pitch ball to the umpires.🐰

GIANTS GOALS:

Accomplish two of the following:
  • Make the playoffs
  • Win 90-plus games
  • Trade away $30 million or so in 2019 contract obligations
  • End up with a top-10 farm system after the trade deadline
The Giants were the NL's second-oldest team in 2017, and they lost the most games. They got older this offseason. That's not necessarily a bad thing, if the roster is actually good, and credit the front office for being bold enough to believe that. But it means they almost certainly won't be better in 2019 than they will be in 2018. Which then means that if they miss the playoffs in 2018, it might be a long time before we take the Giants seriously. So the plan depends on them actually being good or having a strong exit strategy if they're not. (To be clear, hitting the second two bullet points might narrowly count as successful, but the first two bullets are the real goal.)







The Mets are similar -- good not long ago, very bad last year, got older this winter, bottom-five farm system -- but with two distinctions that probably cancel each other out: The Mets' major leaguers are on the younger side, so they will still have something to build a future around no matter what happens this year; but the front office hasn't won three rings in the past eight years, so it has a lot less leeway to say "whoopsie."
The Royals -- well, the Royals don't really seem like they should be in this group, do they? The PECOTA projections at Baseball Prospectus see them as the worst team in baseball, or at least tied with the Marlins at 65 wins. But the Royals also don't look like a rebuilding team: They're old, they're around the league-average payroll, their farm system is one of the worst in baseball and their lineup looks like a team that's trying to win now -- just not trying very well. Which is all to say that while they're properly in this group, they're ... not likely to have what we'd call a successful season.

A'S GOALS:


Accomplish two of the following:
  • Win 83-plus games, play meaningful contests in the final 10 days of the season
  • Have an identifiable "core four" by the end of the year
  • Get unexpectedly big returns at the trade deadline
Both teams' odds took hits over the offseason (the A's started at 80-1, Pirates at 75-1), but neither team is hopelessly bad: The PECOTA projection system, for instance, has the A's winning 76 games (ahead of the Rangers) and the Pirates winning 78 (same as the Rockies). Last year's Twins and Diamondbacks were each projected to win 78 and they each made the playoffs. And both teams have at least a handful of guys who have either been stars in the recent past (Starling Marte), looked like they were maybe turning into stars in the recent past (Gregory Polanco, Jameson Taillon) or played like stars for extended periods in the recent past (Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, maybe kind of Sean Manaea and Josh Bell). You have to squint to see four great players on either of these teams, but you don't have to squint so hard that your eyes hurt.
Or they'll be bad -- each team has, after all, traded away its ace pitcher in the past nine months. It's not likely either team will be really good or really bad, which makes it not likely either team's season will look productive in retrospect, but it's possible.


NFL:

JOHNNY OR KAP MORE LIKELY TO GET A SHOT?


COULD KAP BE A SEAHWK? I THINK MANSIEL HAS A BETTER SHOT

 SHANNY ON 49ERS IN FA 

SHIOCKING:

The bylaw proposed by , Cardinals and Chargers was not approved. It would have placed a limit of three 10AM (PT) road games for West Coast teams. Last year, the 49ers had five early starts.

RAP SHEET:

The are listening to trade calls/talks for Odell Beckham Jr and there have been several, I’m told. says the No. 23 pick is available. ... what’s not clear is whether NY actually wants to trade him. Definitely open to listening, tho

Probably 60M guranteed and nearly 20M a year ---WRS aren't worth that



-JOSH MCDANIELS RULE: TEAMS CAN HIRE COACHES WHO ARE STILL IN PLAYOFFS, LIKE COLLEGE 

WHY CAN'T THEY GO BACK TO PRE 2009? 

ON THE ANTHEM

It was fated to come to this. Patience in the NFL is wearing thin for protests during the anthem—actually, they are protests of the American condition, not protests of the American flag—and as owners gathered here on Sunday afternoon, the six-month-old protests about players’ activities during the anthem flared.
“Our playing fields are not the place for political statements,” said Texans owner Bob McNair. “There are fans that are upset about it. Fans are our customers. You can replace the owners and the league would survive. You can replace the players, although the game won't be good. You can't replace the fans. If you don't have the fans, you're dead.”
Said the owner representative of the Jets, Christopher Johnson: “I just think that trying to forcibly get the players to shut up is a fantastically bad idea.”
Look for the league to take this up at its May meetings. Commissioner Roger Goodell has been trying to straddle a fine line of allowing players to exercise their free will, while also not inflaming the situation with advertisers and fans who think the demonstrations during the anthem are unpatriotic. I don't see a way that this won’t end ugly.
