Samardzija signs with Cubs for five years, gives up football?
2007-01-19 12:00
by Bob Timmermann

Two sport football star Jeff Samardzija is going to sign a 5-year contract with the Chicago Cubs according to ESPN 1000 in Chicago.

Samardzija had earlier signed a four-year contract with the Cubs, but apparently the Cubs are trying to sweeten the pot to keep Samardzija on the baseball diamond instead of the gridiron (Ken Rosenthal agrees with me), where he ruined a perfectly good fall day for me.

If he signs, would that make him a Samardzi-pants?

He's becoming a pitcher for the Cubs? Does he know what he's doing? Are there self-destructive tendencies at work here?

I don't know how much money he's guaranteed, but given the physical risks (obvious) and financial risk (little guaranteed money) of the NFL, why would he turn down the Cubs $10 million?

4 That does lessen the risk, but remember this.

Who would pass up $10 million? Okay, except Randy Wolf?
