Doug Martin Fantasy News
Wednesday, April 16, 2014, 11:44am
Five months after a promising rookie season ended with a broken left ankle, Buccaneers running back Mike James said he's pleased with his recovery and is running and cutting.
"The healing process is going well," James said. "I've got a good opportunity to do what I need to do to get back in the swing of things and get acclimated with everything."
Asked if he has been cleared to participate in the first minicamp (April 22-24), James said the team is still "taking everything day by day." His focus is on getting back to full strength and full speed.
James will compete with Bobby Rainey for touches behind Doug Martin.

Doug Martin still the 'main ball carrier' for Bucs
Monday, April 14, 2014, 11:07am
Even though coach Lovie Smith has said he plans to use a rotation in his backfield, don't go dropping Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin from your fantasy team.
Martin still is going to be the main ball carrier and that means he still will be a fantasy force. Smith and his staff will work Mike James and Bobby Rainey into the rotation, but that's not going to diminish Martin's impact.
If anything, not having to handle virtually all the carries, the way he did under former coach Greg Schiano, should help keep Martin fresh. James and Rainey showed they're capable runners last year when Martin was out with a shoulder injury.
Martin should bounce back in 2014, though he has a couple of solid RBs behind him in Rainey and James. Rainey was particularly good down the stretch, racking up 559 total yards and six TDs on 148 touches. His YPC (3.9) wasn't great, but that should improve in a smaller role. Martin's ADP will likely settle in around the 1/2 turn in fantasy drafts.
Doug Martin medically cleared
Monday, March 31, 2014, 9:30am
Bucs RB Doug Martin announced he's been medically cleared from a torn labrum that cost him the entire second half of the 2013 season.
Martin confirmed in a tweet that he's officially cleared. Head coach Lovie Smith added over the weekend the team will lean on Martin this season, but also likes the other backs - as Mike James and Bobby Rainey both proved worthy in their time last year and will probably take away some work. Martin will likely slip a little from his top-three RB ranking a year ago, but should fall in the low-end RB1, high-end RB2 area.
Saturday, March 29, 2014, 6:06pm
Bucs RB Doug Martin says he's "about to get cleared" regarding his shoulder injury. Should be good to go for OTAs on April 7.
Wednesday, March 26, 2014, 9:20am
Bucs new head coach Lovie Smith says their offense is a running attack that can pass the football. RB Doug Martin will be the bell cow, but they will have backup help.
Looks like Martin could bounce back this year, but previous owners will likely use caution after high expectations with Martin likely cost them in 2013. In our Never-Too-Early RB rankings, John Paulsen has Martin 12th.
Bucs want to 'upgrade the tight end position'
Sunday, March 9, 2014, 5:21pm
Buccaneers HC Lovie Smith plans to run the ball, and running back is one of the few positions the team has depth with Doug Martin, Mike James and Bobby Rainey. But to open holes, Smith says he needs a run-blocking tight end. Tim Wright caught 54 passes for 571 yards and five touchdowns in 2013. But he's limited as a blocker.
"If we talk about being a running football team, we need a traditional (tight end) that can block and be a pass catcher also," Smith said. "Injuries have hurt the position. But right now, we need to upgrade the tight end position also."
It doesn't sound as if the team is counting on Wright to be their full time tight end.
Bucs sign Bobby Rainey to a two-year deal
Wednesday, March 5, 2014, 7:08pm
The Buccaneers weren't at any risk of losing running back Bobby Rainey because he was set to be an exclusive rights free agent, but the team decided they wanted to enter into a longer relationship with a player who flashed some ability late last season.
The Bucs announced that they have signed Rainey to a two-year deal designed to keep him in Tampa through 2015.
From Week 10 to Week 17, Rainey was the #11 RB in standard formats, gaining 559 total yards to go along with six TDs (5 rush, 1 rec) in eight games. He'll likely serve as the primary backup to Doug Martin and is a good handcuff for Martin owners.
Bucs plan to use a 'one-two punch' in backfield
Friday, January 17, 2014, 12:00pm
Unlike former head coach Greg Schiano, who preferred to give the bulk of the carries to a single back such as Doug Martin, new OC Jeff Tedford plans to use a two- and maybe even three-back scheme that constantly forces defenses to adjust to his personnel.
"When I was at (the University of California) we were always very fortunate to have two very good backs, whether it was J.J. Arrington and Marshawn Lynch or Lynch and Justin Forsett, or Lynch and Jahvid Best or Jahvid Best and Shane Vereen,'' Tedford said Wednesday.
"We really had a good one-two punch in the backfield there and I think that's what you need. For one guy to carry the load the whole time, especially as physical as this level is, is a lot. So (we're looking) to have two and probably three backs that can provide different things for you.''
We don't have to read between the lines to see that Martin may not get the workhorse-type touches that he received in his first season. Still, he'll very likely be the lead back and hold 2nd/3rd round value heading into 2014 fantasy drafts.
Bucs hire Lovie Smith
Thursday, January 2, 2014, 11:01am
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wasted little time replacing Greg Schiano, agreeing to terms with Lovie Smith on Wednesday to become their next head coach on a four-year deal with an option for a fifth year.
Smith is expected to hire former University of California-Berkeley head coach Jeff Tedford as his offensive coordinator and recently-fired former Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier as his defensive coordinator.
The Buccaneers' offense is in flux. Doug Martin (shoulder) is coming off of a season-ending injury and QB Mike Glennon lost both HC Greg Schiano and GM Mark Dominik, so he's likely to face some competition this offseason as the new regime possibly brings in their own quarterback.
MNF Injury Report
Saturday, November 9, 2013, 6:09pm
T Jonathan Martin (illness)
CB Dimitri Patterson (groin)
LB Jelani Jenkins (foot), LB Koa Misi (knee)
CB Nolan Carroll (concussion), S Chris Clemons (hamstring), LB Dannell Ellerbe (calf), T Nate Garner (knee), TE Dion Sims (toe), K Caleb Sturgis (right groin)
G Carl Nicks (foot)
WR Chris Owusu (foot)
LB Mason Foster (elbow), S Dashon Goldson (knee), CB Danny Gorrer (groin), G Davin Joseph (knee), RB Erik Lorig (toe), DT Akeem Spence (wrist), S Keith Tandy (ankle), LB Dekoda Watson (shoulder)
Not a lot of major fantasy players affected by injury for this week's MNF game. Bucs RB Doug Martin has finally been placed on IR and is lost for the season. It's a great matchup for Mike James, who comes in as a solid RB2 option.
Bucs place Doug Martin (shoulder) on injured reserve
Friday, November 8, 2013, 5:47pm
The Buccaneers placed running back Doug Martin on season-ending injured reserve with a torn labrum suffered in the Week 7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Neither the Bucs nor Martin can be blamed for exploring the possibility of rehabbing the injury and returning later in the season, but the stars never were aligned for that scenario.
It doesn't make sense to delay the inevitable surgery until the offseason when an injured Martin can't help turn an 0-8 season around. Once the coaching staff had a long look at Mike James' impressive Week 9 game film, it became an easier decision to end Martin's season.
It was the right move from a franchise standpoint, but obviously Martin owners are still reeling from the loss of their first round pick. Mike James looks like a solid RB2 for the remainder of the season.
Bucs to decide Doug Martin's fate by Monday
Thursday, November 7, 2013, 5:18pm
The Bucs will make a decision on whether running back Doug Martin will play again this season prior to Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins.
Indications are the Bucs are leaning toward placing Martin on season-ending injured reserve and scheduling surgery to have the torn labrum his left shoulder repaired within the next few weeks rather than risk further injury to their Pro Bowl tailback with the team off to an 0-8 start.
It's unlikely that Martin plays another down this season since there's nothing to play for but pride. Mike James will continue to carry the load.
Bucs won't risk re-injury to Doug Martin (shoulder)
Wednesday, November 6, 2013, 11:55pm
Buccaneers RB Doug Martin said he's day to day and believes it will be his decision whether or not he'll be able to return this season from a shoulder injury. Martin needs surgery at some point, and HC Greg Schiano said he'll only be allowed to return if team doctors believe Martin won't be subject to further damage to the shoulder.
The initial report had Martin targeting a Week 10 return, but since Martin is not practicing, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. It's hard to imagine a scenario where Martin wouldn't be risking further injury by coming back prior to surgery, but it sounds as if both he and the team are open to the idea of a return in 2013. We're holding in deeper leagues, but if there is an attractive waiver wire option that can offer immediate or near-term help (i.e. Shane Vereen or Andre Brown), go ahead and cut Martin.

Hurrah Too Soon: White House Budget Revision Shows $759 Billion Deficit in 2013
Posted By Romina Boccia On July 10, 2013 @ 2:37 pm In Economics | Comments Disabled
The President's Midsession Review [1], released this week, projects the 2013 deficit to be lower by $214 billion compared with the earlier Obama budget estimate released in April. But any hurrah would be misplaced.
Most of the short-term improvement comes because revenue from the tax increases passed in December 2012 [2] is coming in more strongly than the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) anticipated, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are paying greater dividends to the Treasury, and sequestration is taking effect.
But our debt situation has worsened since before the recession. Public trustee for Medicare and Social Security Charles Blahous [3] writes:
The fiscal picture has grown so much worse that federal debt as a percentage of GDP has already far surpassed levels that the dire projections of late 2007 didn't foresee happening until more than a decade from now. By any objective measure, if the fiscal picture was serious in late 2007 and warranted substantial deficit-reduction measures, it is far more serious now and requires more aggressive corrections.…
The last few years of massive deficit spending have objectively made our fiscal situation much more problematic. But at the same time, they have caused the large deficits we now continue to run to be misperceived by some as a return to reasonable fiscal health.
Rationally, it cannot be the case that our fiscal situation was made better by being made worse. But that is exactly the misperception that our last few years of massive deficit spending have apparently created in some quarters.
So it is with these latest budget projections released by the White House. Over the next decade, OMB actually revised deficit projections upward by more than half a trillion [4] dollars. The important fact that many reporters and lawmakers seem to be missing is that national debt is dangerously high and growing [5].
As Congress continues budgeting this summer during the federal appropriations process, there are ample opportunities to reduce spending in discretionary programs to meet spending caps under sequestration and more. Examples are here [6] and here [7].
But trimming discretionary spending down to size will only do so much for as long as President Obama and Congress put off fixing the entitlements. There are six bipartisan entitlement reforms [8] Congress and the President can implement right away. And the Heritage plan, Saving the American Dream [9], lays out a comprehensive approach that shows the way toward a balanced budget in less than 10 years without raising taxes while fully funding national defense.
The President and Congress have their work cut out for them, and the solutions are ready at hand. But taking corrective action first requires that they recognize our fiscal outlook for what it truly is.

I absolutely love your blog...I posted a ton of your pix via Pinterest. I have a huge anchor obsession, and people just don't understand it, and I don't even know how to begin to explain what they mean to me! I've loved the whole nautical theme for a while, and just recently found out that I come from a long line of Cuban Nautical Rope makers! So it just confirms everything! Keep posting! Have a great day! :) xx
Thanks for the love! :)
Hiya. I loved your light blue anchor theme. Where did you get it? If you don't mind me having it.
I never had a light blue theme but maybe it was someone who submitted something to me.

Energy grains and foods company CHS Inc. and Mid-Kansas Cooperative recently agreed to form a limited liability company to build and operate a high-speed shuttle loading facility in Canton, Kan., that would be served by Union Pacific Railroad.
Construction is expected to begin in spring and conclude in about 12 months. Located on a UP line, the grain shuttle will be designed to load 110-car trains bound for export facilities in the Pacific Northwest, Gulf Coast and Mexico. The facility will feature on-site storage capabilities to accommodate more than 3 million bushels of grain.
The newly formed limited liability company will become a member of Team Marketing Alliance (TMA), which will handle grain marketing services for the Canton facility. TMA is a limited liability company owned by four central Kansas cooperatives that operate 48 bulk grain elevators.

@Hilton Hater : Adam's own tweet mentioned his hand, his fist, and the ceiling. It did not mentioned Perez Hilton's and the other so-called "party goer's" accusations : "beyond drunk", "super sloppy embarrassingly drunk", "acted like an animal...", "securuty to escort Adam away", etc.
The only other witness accounts -- from that night as it happened -- indicated that Lambert did indeed bash a ceiling. Which Lambert himself confirmed. I have yet to see any other witness accounts that confirm Lambert was escorted away by security.
If he did behave that badly, shame on Lambert for acting like a rude, drunken fool and wasting a week of positive reporting due to ABC's hypocritical promo of Chris Brown -- reporting which cited Lambert's exemplary public behavior since the AMAs.
If you are reporting solely based on Perez Hilton's word, then shame on you.
Regardless of what is true, shame on Lambert's pr team for not doing damage control. Why the heck does he have a team if they're not out there cleaning up this mess?
I know you adore Adam at THG, Hilton Hater.
But apart from Perez Hilton, who are the other witnesses? Are there any names to back up Perez's claims? It seems that no one mentioned the incident which was supposed to have happened on last Sunday until the sleazy Perez talked about it this Thursday? Things just do add up.

Recovery debate overlooks sensible economic policies
Is there something in the Japanese mind that prevents sensible economic debate?
Japan's semi-public National Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) recently gave more than three hours of prime time for a round-table discussion on how to save the economy. Predictably, much of the talking revolved around Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's claim that "structural reform" is the key to recovery. As to why this "reform" has managed in two years to drag the economy even further into decline and force an almost 50 percent fall in the stock market, all we got from the pro-Koizumi faction was the usual litany of excuses -- unpredictable foreign events, the need for more time, the economy was in fact going up even if it seemed to be going down, etc.
Even those desperately worried about the current deflationary spiral seemed unable to get their arguments right. They felt obliged to endorse structural reform; it is now a "motherhood" issue in Japan. At the same time they were saying they wanted the government to spend more money to pull the economy out of the spiral. But a key element of so-called structural reform is cutting government spending, not increasing it.
Nor did they point out how the other reform elements -- privatization, liberalization and so on -- are only relevant to the economy to the extent they encourage new investment and employment. Since most discourage new investment and cut employment, in the short to medium term at least, then they are a net negative, even if they do cut some corruption and waste.
As for that other motherhood issue -- forcing banks to dispose of bad loans -- no one mentioned the contradiction in demanding that the same banks lend more money to firms in trouble, let alone the fact that the bad loans are a result, not a cause, of Japan's current troubles. Getting rid of the loans will simply add to the troubles.
It was left to a non-Japanese, Richard Koo, to point out the real problem facing the economy, namely the lack of demand now that the corporate sector, far from borrowing household savings to expand production as it did in the past so well, is busy paying back past borrowings at the rate of 20 trillion yen a year. Add that to the household sector's surplus savings and we have a demand gap that for the time being at least can only be filled by rapidly expanded government spending.
But all this seemed way above the heads of the Japanese participants. Instead we had the usual calls for everyone to "ganbaru" (do one's best). I shudder every time I hear that word, with its implications that sheer will power and effort, rather than sensible thought and strategy, will be enough to overcome problems. It recalls Japan's blind, futile efforts as it rushed to disaster in the final years of the Pacific War.
Just 13 years ago Japan made another rush to disaster, this time to the bubble economy. Then too, the NHK round-table "experts" took for granted the conventional wisdom that said Japan was a small island desperately short of land, and the upward spiral in land prices would continue to ever. At that time the conclusion was the fatalistic "shikata ga nai" (it can't be helped) syndrome -- the flip side to the ganbaru fixation since it too denies the role of intelligent thinking, saying in effect that nothing can be done since the problems are out of control.
Yet then, as now, there were solutions to the problems. Then, it was simply a matter of sensible interest-rate and tax policies to discourage land speculation; Japan has plenty of land, as some of us were saying even then. With the economy today, it is simply a matter of sensible policies to cope with the chronic lack of domestic demand, as some of us have been saying for several decades. But in the NHK "talkfests" there is still little voice for those who challenge the conventional wisdom.
On another recent NHK program, an advocate of public-works spending to stimulate the economy was shouted down by the conventional wisdom that says such works are wasteful. Instead, it was claimed, there should be more spending on welfare.
No one seemed to notice that welfare spending, like much other spending in any economy, is far more "wasteful" than public works, in that it does absolutely nothing to add to economic efficiency. But in purely economic terms, at least, none of this matters greatly if enough of the spending ends up creating fresh demands in other areas of the economy. The economic cycle is complete.
It is the failure to complete that cycle that is Japan's problem.
As to why the cycle is weak, one has only to look at the massive level of personal savings -- 1,400 trillion yen or $90,000 for every man, woman and child in Japan -- for an answer. Fortunately, Tokyo has borrowed some 700 trillion yen of that money for spending to stimulate demand, though the pro-Koizumi faction insists this high level of official debt is intolerable. But considering today's very low interest rates, the government could safely be borrowing and spending even more, at least in the short term. Then, as the economy recovers, Tokyo should rely much more on tax revenues to finance future spending. Scope for closing tax loopholes in Japan is large.
The alternative is for the Bank of Japan to declare that much of that 1,400 trillion yen of financial assets is dead money, and that the BOJ can safely print and circulate new money to replace it. But that kind of wisdom is unlikely under current BOJ conservative leadership.
Indeed, some, such as Richard Werner of Sophia University, claim the BOJ leadership seeks deliberately to delay recovery. It wants an economic Armageddon, to purge this economy and society of its past sins. In which case, we really are in trouble.

Irish Baseball Misses Opportunity
A few months ago it seemed almost inevitable that the Notre Dame baseball team would be playing its first NCAA Tournament game in head coach Mik Aoki's tenure Friday afternoon. Instead, the Irish landed a few spots outside of the tournament bubble and will be watching this weekend's opening round from home.
Senior Adam Norton is one of several key losses for Notre Dame heading into the 2014 season.
A 10-14 record in the Big East during the regular season weighed down a lofty résumé of beating ranked teams and an impressive RPI rating. Notre Dame (34-24 overall) came within a game of clinching an automatic bid to the national tournament, but lost to eighth-seeded UConn in the Big East championship game last Sunday. That game was the final blow to a postseason opportunity that might not come knocking for a few more years.
"I think there is a little bit of [a window closing]," head coach Mik Aoki said. "We missed something that we were kind of building toward a little bit. I think the jury is out on next year."
Notre Dame's top pitcher, lead-off hitter and center fielder — Adam Norton, Frank DeSico and Charlie Markson, respectively — graduated two weeks ago. The biggest hits to the roster may not come until next week during the Major League Baseball Draft. Three of the team's most powerful juniors are candidates for juicy enough offers to skip their final season with the Irish.
Reigning Big East Player of the Year Eric Jagielo is projected as a top-30 pick. The Irish third baseman hit .388 this season with nine home runs and 53 RBI. He is also a semifinalist for the prestigious Golden Spikes Award. If Jagielo is selected as high in the draft as expected, it's improbable that he would be back next season.
Question marks still surround first baseman Trey Mancini and closer Dan Slania, both of whom were all-conference picks this year. Slania ended the year with a 1.21 ERA coming out the bullpen. Mancini posted numbers almost identical to Jagielo: .389 average, seven home runs and 54 RBI. That one-two combo in the middle of the Notre Dame batting order would dramatically change the make-up of the Irish offense.
"That changes things," Aoki said. "The other part though is that it gives you an opportunity to see if guys in your program currently are going to develop and, not necessarily replace them and fill their shoes completely, but do a good job and fill their shoes in their own way."
Whether or not those players are ready to step into a new pair of shoes remains to be seen. Aoki said next season could be "interesting," a year made more interesting by the team's jump to the more talented Atlantic Coast Conference. He did not write off the 2014 season, but said he expects that by the 2015 season he'll have restocked enough talent and pitching depth to be back in the discussion for a trip to the NCAA Tournament — which would be Notre Dame's first since 2006.
It's hard not to think the 2013 team let a golden opportunity slip through its fingers. The Irish started the year with 12-5 preconference record with résumé-building victories against Virginia Tech, USC and Oklahoma. They won eight of 15 games against teams in the top 50 of the RPI. Notre Dame itself was ranked 32nd in RPI, the highest-ranked team not to get an invite to the NCAA Tournament.
"I can't say that I was surprised; disappointed obviously," Aoki said. "I think we had a case to make, but I don't think it was a really compelling case when you think about going 10-14 in our conference."
A losing record in the Big East ultimately sank Notre Dame's chances. Aoki said he and his staff have tried to determine what went wrong in the second half of the season, but the season's autopsy hasn't produced any easy results.
"We've all done that stuff. I can't sit here and put a real conclusive out there for you," he said. "I think when talking to some of the guys they might have set that a little bit of complacency set in maybe a little bit of overconfidence set in. Maybe I should have jumped on them sooner. It will definitely be one of those things that will be give a ton of thought."
Summer Ball
Notre Dame pitchers Pat Connaughton and Sean Fitzgerald were both selected to play in the Cape Cod League this summer. Aoki said Connaughton will participate until the middle of summer when he'll return to South Bend for summer school and to prepare for the basketball season.

TURKU, Finland -- David Beckham checked into a hospital Monday for surgery on his torn left Achilles tendon, hoping for a "swift and full recovery" from an injury that will keep him out of the World Cup.
Beckham left a private jet on crutches at Turku airport and was whisked away in an SUV. Minutes later, he arrived at the Mehilainen hospital surrounded by security guards amid cheers from hundreds of fans who had gathered outside the entrance.
Surgery is set for later Monday or Tuesday.
"I am upset but [want] to thank everyone for their messages of support," Beckham said in a statement posted on his personal Web site before his arrival. "I hope to make a swift and full recovery."
The 34-year-old former England captain was injured in the closing minutes of AC Milan's 1-0 win Sunday.
A person familiar with the injury has told The Associated Press he will miss the World Cup "for sure." The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made. The person said it was likely Beckham will play again.
A Finnish doctor set to operate on Beckham said there's a "glimmer of hope" the midfielder will recover in time for the World Cup, which begins in June.
With his hopes of becoming the first English player to appear in four World Cups shattered and his future in international soccer in doubt, Beckham was scheduled for surgery with specialist surgeon Dr. Sakari Orava.
"We have to wait for the results of the scan, but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," England coach Fabio Capello said Monday. "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
Orava told Finnish broadcaster YLE on Monday that, although it's not realistic to expect Beckham to be fit for the World Cup just three months after surgery, there remains "a glimmer of hope" he could be back for the June 11-July 11 tournament in South Africa.
Beckham, who has been staying at the Principe di Savoia hotel during his second loan stint with Milan, left with a grimace on his face, getting into a car with his father for the trip to Finland.
Wearing jeans, a denim jacket and a black knit hat, Beckham got into the front seat with a bit of difficulty and his father got into the back seat.
Beckham did not respond to questions, never making eye contact with assembled media. A cut was visible on his right cheek, a result of a collision in the first half of Sunday's game.
Beckham's international career for England appears all but over and it remains to be seen how much he'll have left for the Los Angeles Galaxy and Major League Soccer.
Capello and his England assistant, Franco Baldini, spoke with Beckham on the telephone to offer best wishes.
With only a few minutes remaining in the Chievo game and the score 0-0, Beckham was by himself in the center circle when he took a pass with his left foot, stepped back awkwardly, then stepped forward and started hopping on his right foot with an expression of pain on his face. He reached a hand down to his left heel, then stood up and gestured as if he was breaking a twig in half to show the AC Milan bench he knew the tendon was broken.
Visibly in pain and in tears, Beckham went to the touchline for medical attention.
"He felt the muscle begin to come up, which is a typical symptom when you break an Achilles tendon," Milan coach Leonardo told Italy's Sky TV. "This is a real blow."
Milan's medical staff consulted with the Galaxy's medical team, and Milan organizing director Umberto Gandini spoke with Galaxy owner Timothy J. Leiweke, president and CEO of AEG, but it was Beckham who decided to go to Finland.
"It was the player's decision," Gandini told the AP on Monday. "It's the player who decides for his own health, and the player's decision was to go to Finland where there is a surgeon who specializes in these injuries."
Gandini added that no post-surgery plans had been made, but that Beckham's career is not at risk.
"No, I don't think so. I'm not a physician but it's certainly not the first time a footballer has injured his Achilles tendon, and players have come back and played after those injuries," Gandini said.
While Beckham has not been a starter for England in recent matches, he was likely to make the World Cup squad. Beckham was still prized for his free kicks and crosses, especially when England needed second-half goals.
And for many, he is the most well-known soccer player in the world, a fashion icon with a celebrity wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star was on his second loan stint at AC Milan from the Galaxy as he tried to boost his chances of making Capello's 23-man World Cup squad. He has scored 17 goals for England and made 115 appearances, second in England history behind only goalkeeper Peter Shilton's 125 from 1970-90.
Beckham was England's captain from November 2000 through the 2006 World Cup.
"He'll probably be out for five or six months," AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani told Sky. "I saw him really suffering. In the changing room I hugged him and told him that if he wants he can join us next year, too."
It was yet another blow for Major League Soccer, already facing the threat of a players' strike ahead of the season opener on March 25. Beckham is the league's highest-paid player with a $32.5 million, five-year contract -- and its biggest draw.
"We just received the information about David's unfortunate injury," MLS commissioner Don Garber said. "We wish him a speedy recovery."

Mets notes: Jack Egbert's Mets debut
Egbert's Mets debut
He was getting antsy, itching for a chance to leave the bullpen. Jack Egbert, a Rutherford native, arrived Friday. He watched three Mets victories.
Key word: watched.
"Obviously, I got a few days to settle in here, which helps, instead of kind of running out there the first day," Egbert said Monday afternoon. "But after a while, you [want] to get out there."
Manager Terry Collins finally deployed Egbert during the eighth inning of Monday's 8-4 loss to the Phillies. Manny Acosta had just given up a three-run homer to Ty Wigginton – and a follow-up single to John Mayberry Jr. – so Collins turned to Egbert.
His appearance was brief, but flawless. Egbert pitched two-thirds of an inning, inducing a line-out from Freddy Galvis and a fly-out from Brian Schneider.
"My last time up [in 2009 with the White Sox] it seemed like everything was a hit," Egbert said. "It was nice to catch somewhat of a break there on the first one and then I kind of settled down, made a couple of better pitches to the second guy."
Miguel Batista, on the disabled list with a lower back strain, will make a minor league start in Binghamton, N.Y., tonight. Batista felt a pull during the Mets' May 19 game in Toronto and has been out of action since. … Andres Torres' wife gave birth to the couple's second child early Monday morning – a baby girl named Mia Carolina. Torres said he squeezed in an hour of sleep and arrived at the ballpark around 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon. Collins pulled him from the starting lineup, but used him as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. Torres responded with a double in his only at-bat. … Collins is hoping to have shortstop Ruben Tejada (right quad strain) resume his running regimen today in Florida and would like to see him back in New York next week.

Developers settle on Spring District appeals
Two opponents of the Spring District development in the Bel Red area have agreed to drop their appeals of the project after developer Wright Runstad agreed to conduct a traffic study.
Kemper Development Company and Woosley Properties dropped their appeals after two days of a possible eight-day meeting in front of the city's Hearing Examiner. The two companies appealed the city's acceptance of the developments master plan because they felt traffic concerns hadn't been addressed with the project as a whole, rather than on a building-by-building basis.
Todd Woosley, of Woosley Properties, said the process did not address the cumulative impact, and when it does it will be too late. By settling the dispute, and initiating a traffic study, all parties will get an idea of the impacts early.
"Our transportation analysis shows that several key intersections will fail in the next two to three budget cycles," he said.
The agreement stipulates that Wright Runstad will conduct the study after the city issues all development and building permits for the project's first 1.5 million square feet of office space, or before Sept. 1, 2020, whichever comes first. The study must be completed before additional office space can be filled, according to the agreement. The study will examine the current traffic conditions of the area, how things would change without further development, and what traffic will look like when the Spring District is complete.
Greg Johnson, president of Wright Runstad, did not want to discuss specifics, but said an open-ended appeal process can be difficult for all parties. Reaching an agreement allows everyone to plan on what comes next, he said.
"Finding ways to work things out is always better than paying attorneys and consultants in some open ended process," he said.
One appellant still remains in the process, the Lake Bellevue Condominiums Homeowner's Association. The group's appeal also concerns traffic, but the meat of the complaint lies in the environmental impact to Lake Bellevue. The association alleges that the increase in impervious surface will harm the lake, and the city has not given this, and the potential traffic impacts, enough credence in its reviews.
Hearings between Wright Runstad and the Lake Bellevue Homeowners Association could continue throughout the week if a separate deal is not reached.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Are you a man living with PMS? That's the question the California Milk Processor Board, the creator of the GOT MILK? campaign, is asking California men this summer.
In an advertising campaign titled 'Everything I Do Is Wrong,' the CMPB aims to use its signature GOT MILK? humor to highlight the strain placed on many relationships due to the monthly symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and how dairy milk can come to the rescue — studies show that the calcium in dairy milk can help reduce PMS symptoms by as much as 50%.
Whereas most PMS-related messaging is aimed at women, the campaign's core question ("Are you a man living with PMS?") helps turn the tables.
"PMS and its symptoms are sensitive issues to discuss among couples," stated Steve James, executive director of the CMPB. "We hope that this campaign, through its message and humor, would empower both men and women to talk about this topic more openly and to take action by learning how to help relieve symptoms by drinking dairy milk."
Produced by San Francisco-based advertising partner Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, "Everything I Do Is Wrong" consists of billboard ads in California featuring men clenching cartons of milk supported by funny quips like, "I'm sorry I listened to what you said and NOT what you meant," or "I apologize for not reading between the RIGHT lines."
The ad campaign, which ends in August, also will be supported by radio ads on National Public Radio, banner ads and engagement tools on Facebook, Twitter and Pandora — all inviting consumers to check out the GOT MILK? brand microsite EverythingIDoIsWrong.org.
The microsite is an interactive PMS site that gives visitors a virtual pulse on PMS. It takes real data from users about what they think about the subject and recalculates the information to produce humorous videos and content that can be shared on users' personal Facebook and Twitter pages. Navigation tools include a "Global PMS Level," an "Emergency Milk Locator" and a "Video Apology Enhancer," among others.
"The goal of the campaign is to engage consumers, while helping users learn about the many benefits of drinking dairy milk," commented Jeff Goodby, chairman of GSP. "Milk comes to the rescue, and in the case of this campaign, it could very well help strengthen relationships."
The campaign is something of a redux of a 2005 effort, "Milk to the Rescue," which also featured men buying lots of milk, desperate to get their wives into a better state of mind during that time of the month.

Braun's thumb hurting again
Bad news for the Brewers: The thumb issue that compromised Ryan Braun's 2013 season long before he was suspended is an issue once again.
Braun was limited to designated hitter duties for Friday's Fenway Park opener because of the troublesome nerve between his thumb and forefinger. Braun can manage the pain he experiences when swinging the bat, but now is dealing with numbness throughout his thumb, which led to "crazy bruises and blisters" because he cannot tell how hard he is gripping the baseball for throws.
The hope, Braun said, is that a day off from throwing would give the Brewers' athletic training staff time to treat the blisters. He hoped to be back in right field when the series continues Saturday.
Asked whether he worried this would bother him indefinitely, Braun said, "I hope not. I'm optimistic that eventually we'll figure something out. It just kind of is what it is. Everybody deals with different things. I know what the alternative is, and I'm not ready to consider anything like that."
That alternative, Braun learned during multiple visits this spring with hand specialist Don Sheridan, is surgery. Braun did not detail what sort of rehabilitation such a procedure would require, but suggested it would not be a quick fix.
Braun was bothered by the same thumb in the early months of last season, when he batted .298 with nine home runs and 38 games. He hit only two home runs after April 26, and none in 20 games from May 24 through his July 22 suspension for the remainder of the season.
Braun did not have surgery at that time because there are no guarantees it will work, and the hope existed that rest would resolve the problem. It did improve during his hiatus, and Braun belted a home run in his first Spring Training at-bat and hit three homers in the spring overall.
But as the at-bats piled up and Spring Training wore on, the problem returned, even as Braun and the medical staff found acceptable ways to pad his thumb when batting.
"I had the luxury of five months off. I'd never had that luxury before and I won't have it again, so if that didn't make it go away I don't know what will," Braun said. "I just deal with it the best I can. I know that it is what it is. I'm optimistic that eventually, we'll figure something out."

Opening Day roundup
There was a lot to see and read on Brewers.com yesterday, when the Brewers began their season with a shutout win over the Braves on Opening Day. So here's your handy roundup:
- The game itself offered the Brewers a taste of what they were missing most of last season from Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Yovani Gallardo, a core trio that will have a lot to say about what happens to the team this year. For those three players and everyone else, Opening Day offered an opportunity to turn the page from a tough 2013, though turning the page wasn't enough for GM Doug Melvin.
- MLB.com columnist Mike Bauman wrote about Brewers fans embracing Braun in his return to active duty. Here's video of the ovation that greeted Braun before his first at-bat.
- Braun had a hit taken away upon review, marking some baseball history.
- The final three outs offered a bit of a surprise, as Francisco Rodriguez, not Jim Henderson, was called upon in a save opportunity. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke explained after the game, and both K-Rod and Henderson reacted.
- Shortstop Jean Segura was in the starting lineup after fighting a sore shoulder in recent weeks. That news capped a remarkably healthy spring for the Brewers compared to recent years. That notebook also includes Mark Attanasio discussing the Brewers' payroll situation, and, of course, a Hank the Dog mention. Click on the video of Opening Day festivities to see Joseph Attanasio's rendition of the National Anthem.
- Bauman also wrote about MLB Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig, who attended his final Opening Day on the job, fittingly, in Milwaukee.
- Attanasio laughed when asked whether he was interested in following in Selig in that job.
- Clutch moment of the day: Ramirez's go-ahead double.
- Defensive play of the day: Ramirez's dive-and-throw in the seventh inning.
- Sausage of the day: Hot dog.
It's back to normal tonight at Miller Park, where Kyle Lohse is set to face the Braves. Check out my colleague Mark Bowman's look at Atlanta's recent futility at Miller Park, and why Lohse on the mound usually means something weird is going to happen.

Another early-season closer shuffle
Last season, the Brewers changed closers after one week. This season, they changed closers before the season's first pitch.
It was Francisco Rodriguez, not presumptive closer Jim Henderson, who logged the final three outs of Monday's 2-0 Opening Day win over the Braves, a switch surprised a sellout crowd at Miller Park and some players on the field alike.
"I didn't know what was going on there," third baseman Aramis Ramirez said.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke explained.
"We had a conversation about Henderson yesterday and until we feel like he's throwing the way he can and was last year, we're going to put him in a role that we can give him a couple outings to get his stuff back and his confidence going," Roenicke said. "That's just a decision we had to make. I talked to him about it and I talked to 'Frankie' today about closing. We feel good about it."
Henderson did not allow a run in any of his final four Spring Training appearances, but pitched with diminished velocity and "life," to the point Brewers officials were concerned. Rodriguez also had an uneven spring, missing time in March after he stepped barefoot on a cactus and then allowing at least a run in each of his final three outings.
He pulled four more cactus spines from his foot on Sunday but is now pitching pain-free, and while Roenicke indicated he would eventually like to restore Henderson to the role, Rodriguez is Milwaukee's closer until further notice.
"Definitely, I was surprised," Rodriguez said. "Especially [because] coming out of camp, 'Hondo' was supposed to be the guy who was throwing the ninth inning. At the same time, it's a challenge that I'm looking forward to."
Henderson took the news in stride.
"That's how it's going to start off, and we'll take another 162 games just like that [victory] today," Henderson said. "I'm a reasonable teammate and player, and I realize I didn't have a great spring. It was fine. Whatever is best for the team."

Tapping the Keg: Miller Park set for Opening Day
Here we go again. Miller Park is open for business this morning ahead of the Brewers' Opening Day game against the Braves at 1:10 p.m. CT, and here's everything you need to get ready:
– Miller Park lots open at 10 a.m. CT, and the stadium gates open at 11 a.m.
– Three Wisconsin-born athletes from last month's Winter Olympics in Sochi will throw ceremonial first pitches. Matt Antoine of Prairie du Chien was a bronze medalist in the Skeleton competition, and Brianna Decker of Dousman and Jessica Vetter from Cottage Grove were members of the silver-medal-winning U.S. women's ice hockey team. Decker is on the University of Wisconsin women's ice hockey team, and Vetter is an alumna of the university.
– For the 10th consecutive year, Joseph Attanasio, the father of principal owner Mark Attanasio, will sing the National Anthem, surrounded on the field by his family.
– My Opening Day preview package:
- In the mainbar, Ryan Braun says the key to the Brewers' season will be keeping core players on the field. Obviously, that didn't happen last year, and Braun was right in the middle of it.
- Last season was a bummer for Yovani Gallardo on and off the field, and in my profile ahead of his fifth consecutive Opening Day start, he says he's focused on putting together a better 2014.
- On a lighter note, Bob Uecker sat down with me on camera to share some of his Opening Day memories, including one painful day at Wrigley Field.
- In a first-person piece for the site, Brewers closer Jim Henderson remembers his first big league opener last year.
Some tidbits, courtesy of Brewers PR man Mike Vassallo:
– The Brewers open their 46th season as a franchise and 17th as a member of the National League. The franchise is 24-20-1 all-time on Opening Day, going 9-6 at home (3-2 at Miller Park) and 15-14-1 on the road. The Brewers are 8-7-1 on Opening Day since joining the National League in 1998.
– The Brewers are taking on the Braves on Opening Day for the second time in franchise history. The Braves won the previous meeting, 2-1, on 3/31/98 at Turner Field.
– Gallardo will be making his fifth career Opening Day start, trailing only Ben Sheets (6) in franchise history among pitchers. Gallardo will be the first pitcher in franchise history to make five consecutive Opening Day starts.
– Jeff Bianchi, Scooter Gennett, Will Smith, Tyler Thornburg and Wei-Chung Wang made an Opening Day roster for the first time in their Major League careers.
Enjoy the day, everyone!

Brewers set Opening Day roster
The Brewers finalized their Opening Day roster on Sunday, and shortstop Jean Segura is among its active members.
Segura has not played in a Major League game since March 18, when he complained of a sore throwing shoulder, and club officials have worried in recent days that he may need to begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. That he avoided the DL is a good sign that Segura will be in Monday's Opening Day lineup against the Atlanta Braves, though manager Ron Roenicke had yet to make a formal announcement as of the roster release.
One player, as expected, was placed on the DL: Left-hander Tom Gorzelanny is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
After the Brewers formally purchased the contracts of nonroster invitees Zach Duke, Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds, the full roster looks like this:
Starting pitchers (5): Yovani Gallardo, Kyle Lohse, Matt Garza, Marco Estrada, Wily Peralta.
Relief pitchers (7): Right-handers Jim Henderson, Brandon Kintzler, Francisco Rodriguez and Tyler Thornburg, and left-handers Zach Duke, Will Smith and Wei-Chung Wang.
Catchers (2): Jonathan Lucroy and Martin Maldonado.
Infielders (7): First basemen Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds, second basemen Scooter Gennett and Rickie Weeks, third baseman Aramis Ramirez, shortstop Jean Segura and utility man Jeff Bianchi.
Outfielders (4): Left fielder Khris Davis, center fielder Carlos Gomez, right fielder Ryan Braun and Logan Schafer.

T-Plush still considers Milwaukee 'home'
There was much more Nyjer Morgan than Tony Plush in Indians camp this spring, partly because the colorful former Brewers outfielder considers himself older and wiser these days, and partly because he was too busy winning a job as a nonroster invitee to let his alter ego alter his focus.
But old habits die hard.
"There's still flashes of T-Plush," said Cleveland closer John Axford, an old Milwaukee teammate. "He just picks his spots now."
Morgan is back in the Major Leagues after a year in Japan, having won a job with the Indians while outfielder Michael Bourn rehabs a hamstring injury. He had "a blast" with the Yokohama BayStars and is predicting a "special year" for the Indians, but said part of him will always be a Brewer.
Freed from a tense tenure in Washington mere days before the 2011 season opener, Morgan and his many personalities were a hit in Milwaukee. He played a starring role on and off the field in his debut season, winning a cult following with his fiery postgame interviews and off-day antics — once, when he asked Twitter followers how he should fill the day and some smart aleck suggested he go fly a kite, Morgan obliged — and winning games with a series of clutch hits. None was bigger than the single he "tickled" up the middle in the bottom of the 10th inning of Game 5 of the National League Division Series, scoring Carlos Gomez and giving the Brewers their first postseason series victory in 29 years.
Morgan raced around the resulting champagne celebration wearing a S.W.A.T. Team helmet, which he still keeps at home along with other artifacts from his Brewers tenure.
"For me, it's still home," said Morgan. "Some very great memories in Milwaukee."
What made it such a good fit?
"It was all the personalities in the clubhouse," Morgan said. "It's somewhat like here [with the Indians]. Everyone fits. There's great team chemistry, and I was one of those pieces of the puzzle. Sometimes you don't know if it's going to fit until you test it out."
Morgan fell into a reserve role in 2012 but remained a model teammate, said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke. He remembers liking Morgan from the very first introduction in Milwaukee's Spring Training clubhouse.
"He's high-maintenance, yeah," Roenicke said with a smile, "but I like him. I thought his energy was great. I thought even though there were a couple of things he got in a little trouble for, the guy means well, whatever he does. The guy is a good teammate. He's got so much energy that it's contagious. I really like Nyjer."
The Indians and Brewers will not meet in 2014 unless they reach the World Series, but Morgan vowed to return to Milwaukee someday.
"Twenty years from now, when they bring us all back, I'll be a part of that group," Morgan said. "It was a special moment. I know for sure I'll be coming back as an older 'T' and a wiser 'T.'"

Segura's shoulder problem lingering
Brewers shortstop Jean Segura was still taking at-bats in Minor League camp on Wednesday, unable to play the field because of soreness behind his throwing shoulder and unable to say for sure whether the problem would be solved in time for Monday's season opener.
He underwent an MRI scan on Tuesday that came back negative, but the Brewers may decide to hold Segura out of the team's remaining Spring Training games to preserve the option of a backdated stint on the 15-day disabled list.
"I'm not going to say it's not [a possibility]," manager Ron Roenicke said.
Segura and Roenicke each stressed that team doctors have examined the shoulder thoroughly and do not consider the matter serious. The problem is not the rotator cuff or labrum, but a strained muscle, Roenicke said.
Segura will get more at-bats in a Triple-A game on Thursday and will travel with the team to Milwaukee.
A National League All-Star last season who is expected to bat second for the Brewers this season, Segura has not played in a big league game since March 18.
"It feels much better, but I don't know," Segura said. "Hopefully, it's going to be ready for Opening Day. Maybe. I don't know."
If Segura feels well enough by the weekend, the Brewers would like to get him into one or both of the team's exhibition games against the Royals at Miller Park. If the soreness persists, the team, by rule, could place him on the 15-day DL retroactive to March 21.
Because Segura's status is in question, the Brewers opted to bring Elian Herrera along to Milwaukee for the weekend games. He was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, but that move could be reversed if Segura is placed on the DL.
While Segura worked to get back on the field, the clock was ticking on his agent and Brewers officials to work out a contract extension. For more on that issue, see my full story on Brewers.com this afternoon.

Bullpen, bench all but set as Brewers make moves
Barring a last-minute addition or subtraction, the Brewers' Opening Day roster appears set.
The Brewers made their final moves Tuesday, advising non-roster invitee Zach Duke he would make the team and optioning right-hander Rob Wooten and infielder Elian Herrera to Triple-A Nashville. As a result of those moving pieces, the Opening Day roster looks like this:
Yovani Gallardo
Kyle Lohse
Matt Garza
Marco Estrada
Wily Peralta
Jim Henderson
Brandon Kintzler
Francisco Rodriguez
Will Smith (L)
Zach Duke (L)
Tyler Thornburg
Wei-Chung Wang (L)
Jonathan Lucroy
Martin Maldonado
Jeff Bianchi
Scooter Gennett
Lyle Overbay
Aramis Ramirez
Mark Reynolds
Jean Segura
Rickie Weeks
Ryan Braun
Khris Davis
Carlos Gomez
Logan Schafer
Disabled list
Tom Gorzelanny
The Brewers had to inform Duke of his status by Tuesday morning because of a clause in the Collective Bargaining Agreement that affects veteran players on Minor League deals. He reported for work with no idea how the day would play out.
"Honestly, I had no idea," Duke said. "There are so many factors that go into these decisions that you never know. I felt confident that I had performed well enough to get a big league job somewhere, and I'm thankful that it's here. It's a good day for my family."
Duke endured the opposite outcome two years ago, when the Astros released him right at the end of camp. This time was different.
"The difference from 2012 was I pitched my way off that team with the Astros in '12, and I feel like I pitched my way on this one," Duke said. "I'm a different pitcher now, different role that I'm going to be in, differently equipped to take on hitters. I feel like this is a good fit."
Duke was a starter with Houston, but will be the closest the Brewers have a a left-handed specialist in a bullpen that features three left-handed relievers. To fit that niche, Duke has added a cut fastball to his arsenal, and has also begun throwing a various arm slots to "give hitters more to think about."
Has he seen many bullpens with three southpaws?
"Yeah, they're out there," Duke said. "I was in a situation in Washington last year where I was the only lefty, and I didn't get used because of it. I feel like for a manager, the more options they have to play matchups, the more apt they are to do the matchups."
Asked whether making a club as a non-roster invitee was extra rewarding, Duke said, "It absolutely is. There's no consequences if they get rid of you. So yeah, being a non-roster guy, coming in and making a team, I feel like I definitely opened up eyes and made them believe in me. It's a very rewarding feeling."

Francisco packs up; 1B to be settled Sunday
The Brewers made four additional camp cuts on Saturday, and Juan Francisco's empty locker was a signal that at least one more move is pending.
Francisco reported to camp to compete with non-roster Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay for first base duties, and it appears he is the odd man out. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke could not confirm that following a 9-6 loss to the Angels at Maryvale Baseball Park, but said he expected to inform players of the plan on Sunday.
In the clubhouse, Overbay could not help but notice the empty locker.
"I just know that they're going to make the decision tomorrow," Overbay said. "I don't take anything for granted. There's trades out there. Hopefully, tomorrow will be the news we were looking for. Last year when I was with the Yankees, they got rid of my competition and didn't tell me anything. Everybody is always looking."
Overbay did eventually make the Yankees' cut, but did not get the news from GM Brian Cashman until after the team played its final exhibition game. He will learn his Brewers fate much earlier, since a clause in Overbay's contract dictated the Brewers release him within 48 hours of a request on Saturday, or place him on the 40-man roster.
The Brewers currently have two openings on that roster. If Francisco is traded, released or otherwise removed, it would create a third.
In official roster moves on Saturday, the team optioned right-hander Alfredo Figaro and outfielder Caleb Gindl to Triple-A Nashville and returned catcher Robinzon Diaz and infielder Irving Falu to Minor League camp. As a formality, the team also informed non-roster catcher Lucas May that he would not make the team, but would travel to Milwaukee for exhibitions against the Royals next weekend.
With Figaro out, the race for the Brewers bullpen is down to four players (non-roster invitee Zach Duke plus Tyler Thornburg, Rob Wooten and Rule 5 pick Wei-Chung Wang) for three spots. It appears increasingly likely the Brewers will keep Wang rather than return him to the Pirates.

"Here's one reason Darrell Issa didn't want to release the full IRS transcripts"
WDBD (We Don't Back Down)
Top Democrat on the House Government Committee,
on CBS' Face the Nation
Here's one reason Darrell Issa didn't want to release the full IRS transcripts
Last week, House Government Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa
released excerpts from interviews with IRS agents in Cincinnati in an
effort to accuse the Obama administration of ordering the IRS to target
tea party groups. The fact that even his own cherry-picked transcripts didn't actually make his case
was an obvious red flag that he was full of it, but this weekend the
committee's top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings, released additional
interview excerpts that directly contradicted Issa's claims.
According to the excerpts
released by Cummings, a self-described "conservative Republican" IRS
agent who managed the screening group responsible for the application
reviews told committee staff he had "no reason to believe" the White
House had any involvement in either the decision to screen tea party
cases or the decision to consolidate them for review.
Moreover, the agent said the motive for the screening was to ensure that all political cases were handled in the same fashion.
I do not believe that the screening of these cases had
anything to do other than consistency and identifying issues that need
to have further development.
That doesn't mean the correct criteria were used for screening, but it
suggests that while inappropriate terms were used for screening, the IRS
agents involved were motivated by the right thing—and given the
convoluted law surrounding these sorts of groups, they didn't have an
easy task.
Democratic committee staff say none of the interviews revealed any
sort of politically coordinated effort by the White House to target tea
party groups. In the absence of the full transcripts, we only have their
word to go on, but Cummings says
he will release the full transcripts if Issa does not. And based on the
partial transcripts released so far, it's pretty clear why Mr. Grand Theft Auto didn't want to release the full story.

His only motives are to get on TV and get re-elected, and so far it has worked for him. This time he is up against a formidable foe in Elijah Cummings, who will not be intimidated. It should be fun to see how it plays out.
