IT is time to quit with the hate of Finley, All of the "history of griping to the media" is extremely overblown, by you guessed it, the Media. But what do we expect, if they didn't blow things out of proportion, what the hell would they have to print.

Also the drops. He had a bad end of 2011, and a bad start of 2012. He had I believe 4-5 drops between SF and Chi games last year. He ended the season with 7. Which means he dropped 2 or 3 in the final 14 regular season games.

Finley may not be fully earning his salary, but he is far from as bad as some people like to think.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!
