Jeff Samardzija... 34, 11 years in the bigs, 9 and 9, an era of 3.55, millions in the bank...
and who foresaw this as he danced into the endzone in the final seconds against UCLA and just dropped the ball as if it were no biggie?

He’s been paid $108mm to go 78-101 for his career.
Any dope that chooses NFL over MLB is undoubtedly already suffering from CTE.
Crazy isn’t it? That shows just how bad pitching has become in MLB.

I watched him pitch 8 innings yesterday
Or I watched a big part of it, to be accurate. Very cool.
Still not convinced by his hair choices, though.
Charlie Weis advised him to opt for MLB over the NFL.
Weis reasoned that all things being equal re talent level, baseball was the better business decision.
Saw Jeff pitch at an away game at Villanova his junior or senior year. Truly a gifted athlete.
Loved him as a receiver for the Irish. There was one night game, possibly Michigan State where he caught 2 or 3 spectacular touchdowns.
Would have liked to see him in the NFL, but thrilled he has enjoyed a nice career pitching in the big leagues.
Good advice. Weis' singular gift was knowing where and how to grab the most $$$$$$.

Was at his last outing before that one and he got hit like a batting practice pitcher.
Mediocre pitchers are multi millionaires these days.
