Richard Zednik Cut By Skate Video

Do not watch this if you have a soft stomach. This is some very scary footage. Richard Zednik of the Buffalo Sabers was cut by a skate a crossed his neck during a game yesterday and there was blood all over the ice. According to his doctors he is in stable condition so he is OK, but this is extremely disturbing. Pays to have travel health insurance in cases like this.



I've also included a video of a past injury like this that is even more disturbing. Clint Malarchuk gets throat slit by skate a while back. This is MUCH worse than the other one. HE also played for Buffalo.

Granderson signs multi-year extension with Tigers

Woot!

Love Grandy. Until Cabrera got here he was my favorite Tiger by far.

The Detroit Tigers on Monday signed Curtis Granderson to a new five-year contract, with a team option for 2013.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but ESPN reported the deal is worth $30.25 million.

Awesome deal. Only hope he keeps improving. This guy is on the verge of being a superstar in my eyes. This is a nice deal for him, but his checking accounts are going to be much fuller than this if he keeps playing the way he has.

Class guy. HArd worker. Great player. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Not much change in Zumaya's condition

Our super fire baller that helped us get to the World Series in a magical season is still suffering from another of his idiot injuries this past off season. From Guitar Hero tendonitis injuries to forest fire rescue injuries (don't believe this was how), and probably a case of fibromyalgia, this guy may never be the same.

Domrowski says:

"There is not much change," Dombrowski wrote in an e-mail from Lakeland, where he and the Tigers scouts were meeting this week. "Surgery went well and he will be in spring training, continuing his rehab with us. He will begin to toss around the first of March. His time frame remains the same, but since not much has changed since surgery, we will continue to assess as his rehab continues."

I've said it many times that I never expected much from his career. The way he throws, and his decisions don't put a lot of confidence in him being able to stick around very long.

This latest injury is costing him another half a season at least. The Tigers biggest hole at the moment is the bullpen and losing a guy that could be an amazing set up guy, or future closer doesn't help it much. He is on the Matt Anderson path that is for sure. I really don't expect him to ever get himself back to the 100-103 MPH fastball range. If he can't do that he better learn how to throw a damn off speed pitch effectively or he is going to be a career minor leaguer.

Lions Getting Rid of Shaun Rogers

Apparently Millen is at it again. Instead of trying to actually hold his cards tight to his chest he just went a head and floated it out there that Rogers won't be part of the team next year and ultimately destroying his trade value. So...teams can either give the Lions a cheap pick, or player, or just wait it out and hope Millen just cuts the guy. Well Done!

Millen seems more worried about getting a plasma lift for one of his new TVs than he does about his job. A team that is probably going to be as bad as it has been since he took over in 2001 going into next year and no hope to get better. A 6-2 start from a bunch of lucky bounces ended the season by losing 7 of their last 8 games. A team living a lie with a 7-9 record will pick about 10 spots lower in the draft than they should be. Although it really doesn't matter anyways because Millen will pick another WR in the first and then some 5th rounders all the way to the end of the drafft.
