If you missed Wednesday night’s #SSsports Twitter chat, there are some highlights below. And, thanks to @alaskansurveyor, we have a freezing tribute (look on the bottom right) for our #SSsports picture!
On C.C. Sabathia opting out of his contract after the 2011 season…
@IdiotSportsTalk: CC just following A-Rod foot-steps, Opt out for more $$$ n years #SSsports
@roberterosen: It’s only a relevant issue if he has a good year. If he doesn’t pitch well he won’t get more money by opting out. #SSsports
@MattG2484: #SSsports Pitching is always at a premium especially a proven ace. why not opt out as long as he’s healthy all year
@NyquillDTB: #SSsports CC is leaner and healthy he will have a great year opt out get more $ and the yanks will build around him
@MarchettiT: I guess the bigger question is: Why do the Yankees keep giving players with huge contracts opt outs? #SSsports
On Jimmer Fredette’s pro prospects…
@alaskansurveyor: Jimmer Fredette is the next Steve Kerr but with the hoopla of Larry Bird & dribbling/ball skills of Steve Nash. #SSsports
@ymmij2k: He’s not even close to Steph. 1.36-1 Ass/TO. Doesn’t have Stephs handles and how many 6″1 SG in the NBA? #SSsports
@mtread72: An even slower, pastier version of J.J. Redick..Too slow to guard anyone in NBA, I’m afraid..#SSsports
@DenisCEO: Jimmer is gonna b a gamer. Right team, right coach.. I see a Dan Majerle in the mix #SSSports
@arindru: To be a little fair to Morrison, he had one of the finest staches to grace college bball. Also destroyed a knee. #SSsports
On the NFL CBA negotiations…
@SportsFanaddict: Extended lockout hurts players. They somehow think they’re partners. They’re not. #SSsports
@Eric66F: Given that Dan Rooney spoke out on the player’s side re: 18-game schedule, not all owners on the same page. #SSsports
@mattsmith9: What was with the owner’s treating the players like little kids, Peyton is smarter than all the owners combined #sssports
@prttimesouthpaw: since the economy tanked the owners can no longer extract from cities. players is the only money left they can take #sssports
@StLouisGashouse: Richardson, a former player himself, in less awe perhaps of the players, even the elite ones. Obviously feels unencumbered. #SSsports
