This isn’t a scandal. It’s a message to the rest of the league. Watch your kneecaps.

Sadly, I have a hard time trusting any economic data coming out of Washington these days. The Department of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics are supposed to be non-biased and impartial. Maybe they are, but so is our Supreme Court. We have witnessed what has gone on there. If the supposed highest bar of fairness and justice can be corrupted, then any of these other institutions can. I keep asking myself if Trump were in office and all of these key data providing offices were housed by his appointees during an election year, would they manipulate the numbers to make him look better. Absolutely they would. Frankly, Democrats would be dumb not to take the same advantages when they have the power. There’s no such thing as cheating when someone else has rigged the game. We saw what happened when they went high, when the other guys went low. We got Trump.

Godspeed Buddy. I hope you find your dad.

This sounds like just a big misunderstanding. He was trying to help his girlfriend find her free spirit and thought that throwing her out a window would help. It could’ve easily happened to anyone.

I can’t project any specific moves but I’ll be shocked if Langdon doesn't make a few giant moves this summer. I just don’t see him coming in and slowly adding a piece here and a piece there. He’s going to try and make a big splash right away.

I wonder if the Steelers signing Sutton will have any impact on the Lions hope of getting some relief from the NFL for voiding his contract.

They can’t continue to let him pitch in the major leagues with these numbers. They need to send him down to work on his stuff and figure things out. The only positive about this tailspin is that nobody will claim him now when he hits waivers.

I’ll settle for a second hit.

Alex Lange has had 4 hitless innings in his last 4 outings in Toledo and hasn’t walked a batter since going down to the Hens. Have to assume he will be back up very soon.

I can’t see anyone putting in a claim for Wentz with the current steak he’s on. He’s completely imploded giving up 16 ER in his last 6 outings.

Brianna Joy Gray is a curiously unique natural talent.

There’s nothing wrong with Zegras. He’s as good as you think he is What’s wrong is the lack of overall talent on the wing and blue line for the Ducks. They have correctly taken best player available when they’ve drafted high and they now have Zegras, Leo Carlsson, Mason McTavish, and Cutter Gauthier all at Center. That’s a massive logjam of Center talent that they need to trade from to address other areas. I think it’s really smart to dangle the best one that has the highest trade value and also happens to be the oldest. He’s got 2 more years under a good deal. They will get a kings ransom of young players and picks from someone.

I watched WWF back in the 80’s but I’m definitely not a wrestling fan. Loved “Iron Claw”. Thought both Zac Efron and the guy from Mindhunter were great.

Posted this in the wrong thread earlier. Talk picking up of Anaheim listening to offers on Trevor Zegras. The price would be very high but he just turned 23 and is a superstar talent. I wonder if Stevie has any interest.

I hope his agent is saying no freaking way unless an extension is signed.

Isn’t he still facing NFL discipline? He did not play well enough last year for a team to take a chance on him. This is bad PR along with the bad play.

Thinking about being able to start Tarik Skubal in a potential a wild card game is exciting too.

It’s closed until the end of the season. Graduate transfers and anyone that put their name in but didn’t move can still transfer and play in 2024. I believe players not in the portal can still transfer at any time and not lose a year of eligibility but wouldn’t be able to play this season. Don’t quote me on that though.

On the topic of worry. Has anyone taken a look at the list of projected starting QB’s in the Big Ten? Wow, that’s an ugly list with a whole lot of question marks.

That’s crazy talk from a world long ago when football actually mattered more than money. The money was much better in the Big Ten so there never was an option to stay. USC should be playing Akron, Marshall and Western Michigan in addition to Notre Dame.

Of course they did. This coincides with the move to the B1G. Very foolish to play this game when you already have at Notre Dame on your OOS schedule and still have a B1G slate that includes at Michigan. They also first started this before even knowing what the full conference schedule would look like can you imagine if OSU or Oregon were part of the conference rotation. If the OL comes together, USC will surprise people this year. If not, it will be 7-5.

I don’t see anyway that Toledo would be in the picture for Augustine. Quality of play is higher at NCAA than ECHL.

Small potatoes but keeping McKinstry over Buddy Kennedy is dumb.
