If he played for the Yankees it would be different, but Trout is loyal and plays for a team that usually is not in the postseason.

Trouts net worth is about $630 million as a pro athlete but can go out to dinner without most people even knowing who he is...sounds like a f’n genius to me

So you're confirming what I said? Awesome.

This has nothing to do with the salary cap which is what you and others were arguing. So yes, i've read the article and I already acknowledged that there was going to be damage from China which is why the original "PROJECTION" was reduced to $115 million.

That is correct, I was just befuddled as to why you would disagree with yourself.

5-9 in conference with 6 to play.... South Al on the road next up.

I wouldn't so you don't have to worry.

Marlin acting like a total jerk on TV with his assistants holding him back and then saying he doesn’t know why he was tossed.

Wasn’t Broadhead suspended for this type of behavior?

Marlin acted like that against Georgia State as well. The pressure of losing has gotten to him and it’s embarassing.

I’m not a Marlin supporter, and I’m fine with him on this stuff.

Neither are the first UL coaches to blow up like that. Bobby Paschal blew up in Blackham one night. And baseball with I think it was Brad Kelly throwing a pizza at home plate.

Marlin won't be the last either

I think the issue is that it’s happening more and more. It’s become common that he blows up on the refs, opposing players and even his own players/staff, all while having to be fully restrained. He’s acting like Bob Knight and he’s no Bob Knight.
