Rob Neyer My New BFF.....NOT

Rob


Rob Neyer where do I start..for those who are not familiar with him, he writes a blog for ESPN.com and actually gets paid for his crazy ideas that he states in his blog. He recently did a post about Derek Jeters contract situation. In his post he refers to it as D(Derek)-Day (the day his contract is up) Derek Jeter's contract is through the 2010 season. Being the faithful Yankee fan that I am, I have faith that the Yankee front office will create a very generous new deal for the Yankee Captain. He at least deserves that. The comments that upset me the most though in this post was this Rob Neyer guy saying that Jeter is either going to have to take a pay cut, switch positions, or gulp move on!!! Ok, so if you look at this Rob guys picture he looks like one of those guys that have never played sports in his life and was just always the outcast. I don't get where ESPN finds these guys. If they are in need of qualified blogers about a certain topic that bad I will seriously just drop out of school and that will be my new full time job. This guy is nuts! First of all why would he need to take a pay cut when alot of people don't realize this but the Yankee's pay roll is 20 million dollars lower than last year, by just getting rid of Bobby Abreu, and some other not so important guys. Second of all why should the "Yankee Captain" have to switch positions when hes been there for 10 years and has proved year in and year out that he should be there? And last off why should he have to move on? Derek Jeter will always be in pinstripes. He will die as a Yankee. The Yankee's front office couldn't even deal with seeing DJ in anything else but pinstripes. So Rob please spare us all. I don't know if you are a Red Sox's fan or what, but not one thing you said that will happen is gonna.
