The Manny signing news is true.

Ben (the Thrashers web guy) just forwarded a tweet from the Canes’ twitter feed about it. Congrats to Manny – I’m glad that someone’s giving him another shot. It’s unfortunate that it took Cam Ward getting his leg half sliced off to do it, though.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

I don't think Manny

was whining so much about money as he was whining about the uncertainty of his future when his team doesn’t renew his contract and goes out and signs someone else for more money. Yea… he got a little whiny about it all, but to be honest, it was a pretty shady way to handle the situation.

Manny had played his balls off the previous two years, and the management was making it look like that effort wasn’t appreciated. Can’t really blame him for that kind of response.
