Does Freddy Garcia's pot smoking have any correlation to his teams winning?

I think not.  The effect is totally different.  I have never met a pothead who would rob somebody for a fix, or turn a trick for a joint...........Crackheads are quite different, as well as methfreaks.....They need serious help.........

Not this year. Been awhile since the Tigers have won anything.

If all this is really true, then yes I believe that an investigation should happen, and everything that he has built himself up to should also be looked into. If the investigation turns up true then yes he should have to forfeit his Heisman trophy. There are reasons why there are these rules for Collegiate players, for instance, do you really think Bush could have done the same things he did at USC at some other school. I doubt it. Sure he is a great player, but look at USC, they have had a stacked team for the past 3 or 4 years in a row. I bet everyone of their players families live in huge houses and are all getting a little more on the side. Like I said before, there is a reason that this rule exists it is supposed to keep fair play between teams and leave it strictly to scouting and luring players to schools minus all the money. It is unfortunate that this happens because it takes the smaller schools with not as much alumni money or NFL scouting power out of contention early. What ever happened to people playing for the love of the game and worrying about the money later... If you're good enough it will come.

Of course not.  This has been tried and proven that any medical use of pot quickly gets converted over to use by addicts.  The whole issue is one hundred percent fraudulent.

I think that, so long as they keep having fun, they will keep winning. That is the key, I think, to this years Mets. If you watch them play, they're always smiling & laughing. Even Milledges home run celebration; even if many think it was excessive, HE was having the time of his life. They came together as a team, there are no prima donnas,  They want to win, not because of the ring or the World Series bonus, but because winning is more fun than losing.\n\nThey are remembering (and hopefully reminding everyone else) that baseball is a game, not  just big business. So long as their health stays good, and their rotation continues to produce, they're going all the way.

IF HIS TEAM WINNING..\nHE WILL BE RATED A GOOD CAPTAIN.\nIF THE TEAM DOESN'T..\nIT WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY.\nSO..THE VICTORY ONLY DECIDES THE CAPTAIN'S PERFORMANCE.

Yeah he cleaned up the program, right. He had guys getting arrested left and right. He had two guys involved in crimes with weapons(Guns), not including Pata, in the last two years. He has had two of the biggest brawls in the last five years. He players are thugs, and he has a tough time controlling his team. Furthermore, if you are a coach and you have to make a comment, " I don't want any of my players to have guns" as he did, there is something wrong with your team. \n\nSecondly, He was beginning to lose. His teams were way overated. This last season was just a culmination of how bad the program has become. The teams have been way overated as of late and shown that.  I don't know if Coker is a bad guy, but he needed to go, and it needed to be long ago.

Yes yes yes,\n\nfinally someone else who understands the realness of ozzie guillen.\n\nhe doesn't hold his tongue to look good for the rich bigot media jerks. he tells it like it is. If he says Jay mariotte is a f-a-g, then he IS.  \n\nand If he says we will repeat as champs this year, Then we ARE.\npolitical correctness is for cowards!!\n\nGO OZZIE!!\nGO White SOX!\n\nCubs suck,\n(sorry, i had to add that... it also needed to be known)

Yes, the details are listed below:\n\nTesting includes: (a) random testing, in which players are tested at least\nonce each year; (b) for-cause testing in which players may be tested when\nthey exhibit behavior indicating the use of a prohibited substance; and (c)\nreturn to duty testing, following a failed drug test and/or completion of\ntreatment for substance abuse. Players are tested both for performance\nenhancing and recreational drugs of abuse. Significantly, the drug testing\nprogram in MLS uses the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) list of prohibited substances.\n\nGo to the link below for a pdf file with a more detailed look at this subject.

I'll go out on a limb and say that its influence is how it acts as a gateway drug to other substances. Yes, it would be nice to sugar-coat my answer by saying pot's influence lays with the hippy revolution of the 60's, their music, and art in general, but that wouldn't do enough justice to the people who have suffered at the hands of this incredibly toxic and destructive drug. So, that's my answer. Marijuana can lead to further drug abuse and thus it's influencing the US culture by creating more and more junkies day in and day out. This is happening all over the world by the way. I've based my answer on America however to keep this on topic. Have a nice day.

No. But I believe some teams may attempt a specific result in their last Group game (e.g. draw of loss) to gain a more favourable draw in Second Round (e.g. avoiding a particular opponent).

Yeah if you want to look at stats alone but weird things happen in baseball.I remember last year the Royals swept the Yankees and the Royals had a horrible team.That's why so many people get frustrated with the Yankees.People think they should win every single game with a pay roll like that, and they probably should.I also think that a lot of good teams are too relaxed when a bad team comes into town and then they loose.Sorry...I keep going on and on but its just that I am a Royals fan and even though they are bad I have seen them beat some of the best teams.I guess that's just how baseball works.

Whenever an "expert" says they have no chance it usually comes back to bite them in the end.  Flukes have happened in sports as well as life.  And sometime the underdog just wants the victory more than the favorite.  As long as they keep the score close in the begining of the game they have a chance

That or drinking heavily, their is a definite New York bias with Willie Randolph not winning  manager of the year (losing to a Giradi a guy with a losing record ). Now this, it is pure jealousy against New York teams and its disgusting I hope the Yankees and Mets play in the next  five World Series.\n\nADD: Morneau isnt even the best player on his team, third best is being charitable, and he wins the MVP?? You will never hear of him again.For people that say the Twins wouldnt win without him well they certainly lost with him when Liriano got hurt he was playing and they nosedived. Jeter was like a rock this year when the Yankees went through all those injuries. People are going to say all the NY fans do is whine when things don't go their way, but look at Jeter he is the epitome of what a baseball player should be, on and off the field. No way should he have lost the MVP this year.

yea i believe the Miami Hurricanes will pull off another win before the season is over. Yea they loss alot of their best players in the fight that when down. but i believe they still have team spirit and the fans. and i believe that will help drive them to a victory in one of the last two games. you never know they may win both the games. it all depends on how they enter and leave the game. if they enter the game with the right spirit then i belive they will pull it off.

If your team isn't winning and your players aren't performing then you have to look at one of three things.  It's either the coach, the office or the players.  You can blame the coach if they are unproven or incompetent, but we all know Dusty Baker is neither of those things.  Dusty Baker has proven himself a winner year after year.  So, given that you have to put the blame on either the players if they aren't performing or the office if they aren't bringing in the people they need in order to build a contending team.  I think that where the Cubs are concerned, you have to evenly spread the blame between the players and the office.
