I hope it doesn’t come to this, but I feel like it’s going to.

David Price is worth a $217 million deal
I agree with Greenberg.
Interesting column from Wetzel, but I *really* hope it doesn’t come to that (even though I have a fear that it will.)
I still am bummed that Tiger’s dominance ended so abruptly.

Report: Red Sox sign David Price
Is it baseball season, yet?
This game was a lot closer than I would have liked, but Clemson ended up with the win (and Deshaun definitely [earned his helmet sticker](http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/121586/acc-week-13-helmet-stickers-deshaun-watson-leads-clemson-again)). Now comes North Carolina on Saturday, and I could not be more scared for how that game will play out.
I’m going to continue holding my breath until Gronk’s back on the field.
I don’t really believe this. I think they at least wait to see him at first.
No surprise here. This has been rumored for weeks.
I guess it helps the ACC is Va Tech is good again, but I haven’t missed having to beat them every year.
It’s about time the NCAA decided on this.
I hope this is a sign that he’s taking the upcoming season particularly seriously.
I’m not sure how he’ll even swing a bat.
I can’t understand why, Coach Duryea sounds like a *real* stand up guy…

MLB In-Market Streaming a Small Step
As always, the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals games won’t be shown OVER 4 HOURS AWAY in North Carolina. What a disaster.
> David Ortiz’s full Hall of Fame case is nuanced. His career numbers fall somewhere between Fred McGriff and Frank Thomas, which puts him right on the border. His extra-base hits total is massive — some of that is Fenway Park. His postseason heroics boost him considerably. His failed drug test will be considered. And yes, he spent almost his entire career at DH. I think you have to throw all of that into a tumbler, shake it up and roll it out. I vote for him.
Sounds about right to me.
Though there were rumors yesterday, David Ortiz made the official announcement today:
Here are some of the articles trying to put Papi’s careeer into context:
* Brain MacPherson says [no hitter has ever meant more to the Red Sox than Big Papi](http://www.providencejournal.com/article/20151117/SPORTS/151119348/14009?rssfeed=true).
* David Schoenfield calls him [an iconic player](http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/66461/love-him-or-hate-him-david-ortiz-is-an-iconic-player).
* Jeff Sullivan shows how [Papi has refused to decline with age](http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/david-ortiz-has-refused-to-decline/).
I hope Dabo has to make good on this.
Improvements like this are what helps keep the program strong in future years.
After Clemson’s win against Syracuse yesterday, they have 3 more games to win in order to get into the playoff. One of them is against in-state rival South Carolina (always tough) and one of them is against UNC (which is crazy hot right now). I’m not feeling optimistic about Clemson’s changes to go undefeated.
I didn’t see any of this (I was busy shooting a wedding for [Kivus & Camera](http://kivusandcamera.com)), but the “reviews” seemed to be mixed. Some people say it’s a positive sign that Clemson could win when they didn’t play that well, but others say it just proves that Clemson’s not very good. I guess we’ll find out next week.
