not to get all "gen x nostalgiac" on you, but can you imagine jordan or isiah or bird or magic not wanting to play? not wanting to win? take the all star game, they actually used to try to win the game. how novel. i know this sounds old mannish, but i think its generational. does lebron really care about winning every game? or is he more concerned with brand and "mental health"?

Very interesting ad I keep hearing in my youtube feed that reminds people to vote (african american voice) "Virginians you need to vote by April 21...something something, your vote is private but your friends loved ones and neighbors can check to see if you did vote" I wonder if that's the African American community's effort to remind peers they have nobody to blame but themselves if Yes vote fails.

Almost everything about the league's regular season is embarassing nowadays. from marginal players setting records for offense, to teams deliberately playing g-league lineups to lose games, to sitting star players every other night, to the massive blowouts as teams do not care if they win. its a real problem in the nba. the fact that the players do not care enough about the game to play every night is an issue that will haunt the league. i dont know how you fix that. they should give the commish the ability to punish teams for sending out inferior lineups to lose. give it real teeth and not the half-assed measures they use now. in other words, give the commish the ability to take picks away, or to lower the draft odds, or say the team cant pick higher than 8th because of repeat tanking offenses. they can tweak the lottery in ways that will help, but i doubt they have the cojones to do it. make a win "floor". if you dont finish with at least 25 wins, the highest you can pick is 8th. something like that. but make it so teams have to win a certain number of games during the year.

They passed on Carter because of his poor workout and being out of shape. Even Eagles fans note he takes plays off.

This is a great point... the church will long outlive our senile, narcissistic President

yes it was. I was wondering how they were going to pull it off but I liked it. Sometimes the obvious answer is the best one, rather than some crazy twist at the end, but if you tell the story correctly it can work. Loved the Homer character too. My only complaint is that Clark's ASL skills were too advanced for the limited amount of learning he had. They did a good job at balancing the flaws but showing us why they have those flaws. and having a son like Richard sure pulled at the heartstrings. When they were on the bus after he acted out.... damn. Been there done that.

ABS is now a feature in MLB the Show. I got it to work for me 1/2 times I tried it with 2 games played.

I had this goofball thought that I wonder if we'll see a situation where a catcher calls for the wrong kind of ABS... meaning they are so intuned to their task and the immediate reaction becomes instinctive... so Dingler is catching, a ball is called a strike but since he has to think about this **** as both a hitter and a catcher, he taps his helmet. I could see Miggy doing that as a hitter. "No no, that was a strike man, give the P his due.... he earned it. I'll hit the next pitch for a HR anyway..."

When Trammell played his final game in 1996 it was against the Brewers. He gave a little speech after the game and Phil, who managed the Brewers, told his players to stay on the field to pay their respects. That said he was ok with me.

We now need to complete the cycle of reform. That means the people in the United States need to also be out in mass the days before Fall 2026 and Fall 2028 elections to prove that we will not allow the people in power f with our democracy.

The psychology of having China beat us back to the Moon might be all about us being up our own asses but it is still good to prove you can dunk on little brother before he (AND EVERYONE ELSE) decides you don't matter anymore.

Embarrassing.

Hornets beat Miami Orlando beats Philly to become the 7th seed Hornets beat Philly to become the 8th seed West Clippers beat GSW Suns beat Portland to become the 7th seed Portland beats LAC to become the 8th seed

Local guy with a twin brother. High school in Lansing and both played at Eastern.

No, they have a type of player they like when it comes to character and culture and they aren't compromising on that for any one player, no matter how talented they may be. It's the same reason they passed on guys like James Pearce Jr. and Mike Green in last year's draft.

I can't trash Phil Garner as a manager in Detroit. While his time here was not successful, he was saddled with the single worst GM in baseball history in Randy Smith. When you have a guy so bad at talent evaluation, scouting, free agent negotiations, and trading that he gives Matt Millen a run for his money, you know you're screwed. Nothing Garner could do, or even the best managers like a Joe Madden, could possibly overcome the atrocities of Randy Smith. The bad seasons we had opening up Comerica Park were on Randy Smith and the team his front office assembled, not Garner.

RIP Phil Garner.

then again, after seeing him go to 2 probowls and get a SB ring maybe they'd be less inclined to make the same decision again.....🤷‍♂️

As per BR. a guy named Charles Thomas played 36 games in the 91-92 season and wore 14. Became a college asst coach.

Apples and bowling balls.

They clearly passed on Jalen Carter because of a car accident he was involved in. It was a concern for them then with Carter.
