Good choice... however, being a Notre Dame fan, I believe he would've done great in the NFL though.

I'm more of a baseball fan. I'd play baseball before football.

He's also a top pitching prospect, if not the number one pitching prospect.  If baseball doesn't work out, he can still make a smooth transition back to football which can't be done the other way around.

Hey guys, bet ya can't guess whether or not I'm happy about this.

What are you so ticked about? I'm glad my team got a great pitcher. Our pitching has been killing us lately, and hopefully this signing works out.

Hell no bro. I hate the damn White Sox. I can't stand people that have two teams in the same sport, much less two teams in the same sport from the same city. I was rooting for the Tigers in the World Series because I hate the Cardinals. If the Cubs can't win it I'll happily root for the Twins over the Sox any day.
