The BCS, Holliday & Mega Links

When I was 18, I think the most prescient thing on my mind at any given time was either how to score (beer, weed, chicks) or how to pay for the score. Garett Gilbert was trying to win a National Championship in front of 100,000 people in the Rose Bowl and millions watching on ABC.

Good luck with that.

LINK HERE: InsideSTL on Matt Holliday & Mark McGwire

I guess he did what he could against a damn good Alabama team, but at the end of the day, it wasn't nearly enough to make the Citi BCS Championship game more or less a public flogging with the SEC paddle.

More interestingly, the top 3 QB's in this year's NFL draft McCoy (shoulder), Clausen (foot) and Bradford (shoulder) are all injured or recovering from surgery. Any guesses at the STL Rams #1 need this off-season?

Yup. Quarterback.

(Pause here to remove an idiot. Thanks Brent!)

In Matt Holliday News, the newest American hero gave the Cards a late Christmas present. No, not the signing. The millions of dollars in merchandise the team made with the switch to number 7. Video of the presser from our friends at KSDK below.

Have a weekend, goons. We'll see you back here when we think about it.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard that Holliday was switching numbers. I think it may have been a move by the organization to generate fresh jersey sales.

Of course it was, I'd bet anything it was a little bone right there at the end that Boras threw Johnny Mo just to let him feel like he got something good.

Boras is a master of junk like that. Holliday has been 15 his whole career- and 7 (as in years of his contract) is the best he can do?

Too bad one was retired, then he could of really stuck something up their...

Fuck. It was 5.

Maybe it was altruistic?

Nah.
