Orlando Rays

Le Batard asked Samson if Olsen had been making progress. Samson replied that Olsen is in therapy and is getting help. He explained that Scotty is a young kid and listed the usual excuses for why bad things happen (money, fame, etc). Then out of Josh Willingham's ass (more vivid than just saying left field), Samson pulls (paraphrasing), We're letting the legal process run its course but if convicted Scott won't be welcome with the team. He explained that the organization has a civic responsibility to field a team the community can be proud of (i.e. no criminal offenders). Le Batard told him that he's gotta be kidding and that Beinfest would overrule him. Samson acknowledged he doesn't make the final decision, and he will speak with both Loria and The Chosen One, but that if the decision were up to him, he said Olsen would be gone, upon conviction. Numerous times. This guy just continues to leave me speechless (except what I'm writing here). No wonder Le Batard has him on every week. He comes on spewing ridiculous, headline-making, self-righteous nonsense that no one else would ever dare say. This was probably the most unprofessional thing I've ever heard from the PRESIDENT of a sports team (of course the only competition being Samson's Ichiro tirade). Forget about the idea of just ridding the team of Olsen's talent and denying him the continued help he needs. How can you go on the radio and speak about a player in your organization like this? What an outpouring of support. Telling Scotty O he's a lame duck pitcher will surely help him keep his composure. I guarantee The Chosen One has spent more than one sleepless night thinking about how much he hates David Samson. I apologize for digging this thread up a little, but just an observation... why does Florida have so many retarded sports talkers? I mean, up here in Orlando, I'm trapped with Dan Sileo. :banghead

BREAKING NEWS - PEOPLE WANT THE OB TO BE A HISTORIC LANDMARK This is what some people might say The fact that New York is demolishing Yankee Stadium kills this argument outright. The Canes moving to Dolphin Stadium not only gives us the OB site, but also fills the "money gap", since the City already promised money to renovate the OB if the Canes stayed. That money can be applied to the new ballpark. Funding solved. I believe though the new Yankee Stadium will be on the same grounds as the current one. The same thing with Shea and the new Mets park. Just accross the parking lot. I just want the Marlins to stay in Florida. Nope. The plan was always for the new Stadium to be built adjacent, and the old Stadium to be demolished and turned into a park. At least it's being turned into a park, and not parking.
