Time for some Home Run Derby

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

Dan over at the Bleacher Report recently announced the 2007 Bleacher Report HR Derby. I’ve played HR Derby a few times in the past. Basically you select a few hitters who you think will hit the most home runs this year, and get points for how many they hit. It’s really pretty simple.

Following a 2005 NFL Coach of the year award with a Super Bowl appearance, heading into this off season, Lovie Smith’s future with the Bears was in limbo. He was the lowest paid coach this past season, and was heading into the final year of his current contract. There was much speculation about whether the [...]
