McCauley should have caught that on the sideline

I think this Purdue game is going to be way closer than most people think. I don't know why. Just a hunch.

Is Indiana better than Ohio State? I don't really think Ohio State has been tested this year. Texas has been their only real test this year - and they really didn't blow them away at home.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a surprise and I wouldn't be surprised if he's already told Brad and Dan that he's done after this year. If they win the Super Bowl, he's absolutely done.

The Ref screwed the Kings last night. That Kasper goal should not have counted, the stick was high. And I don't think the Kings player really interfered with the goalie in OT. Scripted.

The Governor of Louisiana spending any time or energy firing or picking football coaches kind of makes you understand one of the reasons that Louisiana is considered the worst or usually bottom 4 states to live in. Every passing year I pay less attention to college sports - because it's just so disgusting. You've got people that starting Saturday aren't going to know where or how they're getting food, and states are spending money to pay off fired football coaches for not reaching unrealistic expectations. As far as this idea that the buyout won't come from state money - do you really believe that? I sure don't. I don't care about Brian Kelly, he's a piece of **** of a human, but he gets millions and someone will give him more and he'll keep being a piece of ****. The thought of Declan Sullivan's parents apologizing to Notre Dame is just so twisted.

Asking if anyone knows. During the upcoming 2027 lockout (I think we'll lose the whole season). What happens with every player on the 40-man roster? Are any of them allowed to play in the minors? I'm asking because if McGonigle or Max Clark have great years in 2026 at Toledo and it seems as if they can be called up, would it make sense to call them up only to cost them an entire season of development in 2027? I think the best-case scenario for 2027 is starting AFTER the 4th of July. This one is going to be nasty.

Yeah, the script writers did a great job.

Looks like we've got a critic !

I hope the script writers gave us a good story for this week.

It was Robert DeNiro, dude. He did it.

I think Tackle will be the first round pick in 2026 - because even if Decker does come back, he's not going to play much longer.

Wow, JJ McCarthy better be ready. The Lions are going to throw everything at him. Who is the Viking backup now? The Lions would need to sweep the Vikings for 18 years to have a better record. Wow.

The NFL is fixed. The NFL is rigged. We been had, we been took. We been hoodwinked, we been bamboozled. This should be GOOD for the Lions. The Lions are the team that brings the most fans to road games. The Lions get tremendous ratings when they are in spotlight games. A lot of people would love to see the Lions go to the Super Bowl. Finally. I think a lot of people would love that for the Browns, but the Browns get in their own way too much. But make no mistake. There is no even playing field in this game. The research must show that certain teams winning means more money. But this is just a shade more legit than wrestling. That Eagles-Giants game. The fix was in.

Minnesota's season is riding on this next game. If they flop, the season's over.

When your teammate gets run and you just stand there and do nothing - you're getting benched.

I missed this game, I was next door at the David Byrne concert, but watching the highlights now............Mickey needed to take the night off - sounded like absolute crap.

That must have been one hell of a 2nd Intermission speech by the Todfather .

Everyone talks about that great game Ohtani had, but Vlad Guerrero is hitting .447 with an OBP of .596 and 6 HR in the postseason. Wow. Guess he was worth that contract, eh?

what the hell happened?

I was thinking more on how his team just gave up on him. The Rams give up on Goff. Game Managers. That's how you win. You build up everything else and then get someone who can operate the machine instead of someone who wants to BE the machine. Jonathan Taylor makes Daniel Jones look great, doesn't he?

Wow. The retired number needs to come down. Not saying un-retire the number for now, but it's gotta come down Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups was arrested by the FBI on Thursday in connection with an illegal poker game tied to the Mafia. That news may have come as a shock to many, as Billups' name wasn't mentioned in previous reports, but it didn't surprise professional gambler Matthew Berkey, who called out Billups' rigged poker game on a podcast in 2023. Berkey's comments — which have now resurfaced following Billups' arrest — came during a May 2023 episode of the "Only Friends" podcast. After Berkey describes the game — which he said may have started in 2019 in Los Angeles — he noted that this particular game was "all built around Chauncey Billups." Berkey said the person who told him about the game claimed it was "100 percent on the up and up," but Berkey — who knew some of the people involved in the game — was skeptical of that claim. He ultimately decided to not take part in the game, likely saving himself a lot of money based on Thursday's indictments. Berkey, however, did speak to some friends who played in the game multiple times. After hearing their stories, Berkey said the game was "for sure confirmed to be cheated." As Berkey explained, people who did not understand how to play Texas hold 'em would go in with suboptimal hands and then get the exact cards they needed. "Only the pros were losing," Berkey said before adding, "They got absolutely filleted."

This is Vinny Vinny, what happened Well, uhhh, we had a problem and we tried to do everything we could Whaddaya mean Well, you know, we had a problem and there wasn't nothing we could do about it Whaddya mean You know what I mean, he's gone and we couldn't do nothing about it That's it Whadda ya mean, whadda ya mean? He's gone..........uh, he's gone...............and that's it

Have you watched many games at sports bars the last few years? some folks freak out (because they bet foolish amounts of money). I took advantage of hockey 5.5 over/unders a couple seasons ago and did quite well until they caught on and started raising things to 6.5. But I only bet $10 at a time. I went a little crazy once and bet a whole $50 on an NFL 5-game playoff parlay - and it hit (every 10 minutes they were giving me buyout options too). Cleaned up. But I haven't done that the last couple of years - it was just taking away from the enjoyment.

The second thing is what I was thinking, that maybe he was working something off. These athletes are so competitive that when they can't play their sports anymore a lot of them turn to gambling. And most of them lose millions. We all suspect it had something to do with MJ's ridiculous baseball career. He had to go away for awhile. Some people think his father's death was no accident. This is nothing new, it's just much more widespread now. What was the Denny McLain rumor - that A- he owed the mob but they were smart enough not to break his arm, so they broke his toe as a warning (remember he did miss time in 1970 for a foot injury) and they he actually recorded that organ album as a way to make money to pay off the mob. Knowing what we do about Denny, I 100% believe that.
