    Been a fan of all the major sports all my life. Seen athletic feats that boggle the mind but I’ve never seen anything as impressive as Biles’ floor exercise. Any baseball,basketball or football star that tried to do that would end up in traction

    After Trout signed a 12 year $450 million dollar contract what has he played, 10 games? Rendon’s is 7 years 250 million and has played more. Maybe 12 games and 1 homerun. With busts , murders, drug Od’s, car wrecks, bus wrecks….. the angels could field an all-star team with their dead and total busts. They should never sign anyone to more than one year with the hex they have.
