It brings to mind the concept that was floated about draft slots going around to teams based on a 30 year cycle rather than winning percentage & lottery. How fun would that be to implement now with 1sts being tossed around like candy at a parade?

Promotion / relegation involving the B10 would have been fun in 2008, eh? Its really a dumb concept to try to organize competitive balance for one season based on a prior season when there is so much player movement from team to team (graduating/transferring players in college, free agency/trades in professional). And I would say its only a consideration on this soil because of the increasing popularity of soccer (and they do it, so its kewl), and its different than what 'Murican sports have traditionally done (its different so its kewl).

Maybe he should try pitching?

TV is the CFB commissioner.

The Tigers’ offense bothers me more than a player tending to an off field family issue.

I don’t remember the exact backstory of Billups (some kind of sexual misconduct?) but you’re right that a lot of Piston fans just give him a pass for it. It’s a similar type of pass that the Tiger board gives to Miguel Cabrera for his drunken encounters and siring kids with a side piece.

Sacramento was the first team that popped into my head when I heard of the trade demand.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

I suspect injuries and bringing Duren along slowly will reduce the logjam on the frontcourt.

Bobby Bonilla makin' it rain tonight.

Yup. This current go round is to figure out the haves and have nots. And, really, its just how remains at the "power 5" table, or however you want to call that. Once that's figured out, the TV contracts are next. How can they be altered, how do the different networks get satisfied. Then its another round of some sort of reorganization geographical alignment. TV will be heavily involved in that to get a few USC-OSU types matchups per weekend without loading up the top tier school schedules to play only top tier opponents. There will still be the Purdue-Northwesterns because those schools minor league programs are going to be needed to fill things out. They're not going to have Alabama play a schedule of Clemson, Ohio State, USC, Oregon, Oklahoma, Michigan, Georgia, Notre Dame, LSU, Florida, Utah, Texas, Penn State. They'll figure out how to shuffle in Boston College, Rutgers, Arizona, Kansas, etc, etc.

Celebrate it, morans.

They're running out Tuesday's lineup again?

Night game before a day game, both games vs left handed starters.

These Giants jerseys are shameful. I don’t really like how this is going. First a reference to “We Built This City” and now these abhorrent duds. I think they should pull Skubal from the game immediately.

I wouldn’t mind going with more youth and just signing vets as locker room influences that can play every once in a while, or as needed due to covering injuries. But how many players are out there that fit the bill, and how many would want to go to a rebuilding team as opposed to a legit playoff contender?

That’s fun. I had an Achilles strain this time last year. Sucky stuff.

It may not be so rigid. Could be a bench guy gets more minutes than a starter depending upon either design or how the game is going.

Awful song. Just simply awful.

That starting 5 makes sense. Or, if Bagley is brought back, he could be the starter and a frontcourt pairing of Olynyk and Duren could be used off of the bench. Hayes and Diallo as the primary bench backcourt. Mix & match that 10th spot, or maybe that's a good spot for a veteran wing?

It’s ok. Stewart will be on the bench in foul trouble.

40 games of play at 82 games of pay. That’s the exact inverse of a buy one get one free. Plus the other headaches on top of that headache. N-O. H-no. F-no.

This is the kind of other move that, in my completely uneducated opinion, is going to occur.
