Tim and Tom still not making any points and still dishin' out the hate. Better to call people trolls than actually make a coherent argument. I bet everyone that doesn't agree with you is a troll, right Tim? Dude, what kind of coherent argument do you want? Should I list statistics that list him as a legendary player with numbers that, in our lifetime, won't be matched? All this while playing on a team where guys get paid 18-25 million dollars per season are not nearly as good? The guy makes $10 million per season where people who couldn't carry his jockstrap are getting 15 and 20 million, and you're calling him greedy? And you didn't make a point either.

Let's see, our best RB ever just retired, our QB is underperforming, and our secondary sucks. Was So let's release our LT (toughest roster spot to fill) and our big free agent LB! If the Giants don't win a playoff game, this GM should get fired.

Respect of course being the code word for "I am a greedy douche". I'm shocked he didn't say "I have to take care of my family". Hi, I know nothing about what I'm talking about but I'll post because all atheletes are greedy bastards, man. Rivera is the greatest relief pitcher of all time and he plays for, comparatively, peanuts. He clearly isn't the same closer he was five years ago . No, he's not... yet he's still the best closer in the league.

Another anonymous troll. Glad you're paying attention.

I'll take Mo for another year. He is still dominating. But, I agree, the team's management needs to see if he has a good year before showing him "respect." As for Bernie, clearly his time is up. He got his extra year. But, the Yankees should have shown him some "respect" by offering him a job with the team (minor league management, batting coach, etc.). He deserves to live and die a Yankee.

maybe you should stop typing altogether

another Tim N. classic. Insults but no insight.

Obviously you know nothing about Mariano Rivera. Think before you type.

LOL. The reason for the cuts are simple numbers . Three guys that are on the downside of there carrers . Three guys that now have a history of injuries, One of which will ever be the same player he once was(LaVarr Arrington). The others were just to prone for the comfort of the new GM . As far as the Yankees, Well that's because they spoil these guys by making them multi-millionares to damn early . All Mo's doing is riding the wave to the bitter end ! He clearly isn't the same closer he was five years ago . Yet he wants to be "Respected" as he was then . Very selfish .
