yes. you are bad and should feel bad.
-
i wonder if doug christie's wife will let him quit?
-
well, zak lavine got 26 in that game which is the important thing...according to zak lavine.
-
why would anyone want sasser?
-
2 young players and 5 first rounders. markannen is 3 years older than mitchell, so i wouldnt expect them to get that much for him. plus his injury history. but utah holds all the cards if someone else wants to match their offer.
-
this is what they got for donovan mitchell: Traded by the Utah Jazz to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ochai Agbaji, Lauri Markkanen, Collin Sexton, a 2025 1st round draft pick (Liam McNeeley was later selected), a 2026 1st round draft pick, a 2027 1st round draft pick, a 2028 1st round draft pick and a 2029 1st round draft pick. Cleveland also received a trade exception 2025 1st-rd pick is CLE own 2026 1st-rd pick is a right to swap 2027 1st-rd pick is CLE own 2028 1st-rd pick is a right to swap 2029 1st-rd pick is CLE own

lane hutson at aaa. come on. plus, buch, danielson, and lombardi dont get a b? i'm not a button fan either.
-
interesting they see danielson as a bottom 6 guy. but he's always been questioned by scouts as to his ultimate upside.
-
what's the purpose of this? is this the league trying to tell us that these guys are all actually hurt? between various players obviously throwing games foe gamblers, to teams obviously tanking and not trying to play (what is it now, fove teams with 1 or 2 wins this late in the season?), to players taking more rest days than game days, the league has a big perception problem. sometimes i wonder how david stern would have handled this. would his style have been beneficial in today's day and age? would anyone listen?
-
then deal zion williamson. or deal for someone other than jordan poole. or...dont deal two high lottery picks in a stacked draft for derick queen.
-
hollinger savages dumars/weaver today in the athletic. i love the story of dumars telling his staff he wantes high character, defensive minded players and then weaver's first signing was.... jordan poole. one of the lowest character (by reputation), least defensive minded players in the league.
-
why would you ever buy advanced tickets to an nba game? you will never know if any of the good players are playing. and its not because the season is too long (more bull**** from steve kerr), the season barely started and everyone is resting.
-
i dont know what else lombardi has to do to get a call-up. grow? get bigger?
-
i know pre season means nothing but when i saw the leafs play all i could think of was that they looked slow without marner. dude is really good. i am unimpressed with toronto.
-
get rid of one of the best players in the league, rely more heavily on an aging defense and a flash-in-the-pan no name goalie = stanley cup. gotta love leafs fans.
-
it is relevant when and how they spend it. if they blow through 100 million in a year to patch up debt ir pay players who arent going to change the overall trajectory of the program - and not every team in the big ten or will be indiana - and dont change the infrastructure or spending in their programs, gheyre going to be right back where they started in two or three years except now they get 10% less revenue each year.
-
or it shows you the people in charge are dealing with a shorter time line and want the money now. there is a political element to those spots. and let us not forget before we praise michigan's sudden fit of principle pique, their former president was leading the committee that was in charge of seeking new revenue ideas from where this proposal initially came. typical if michigan, it decided to get all snooty and principled about it after the fact. 😉
-
im not sure about psu's status. but i do know that if money making machines like ohio state and michigan are operating at deficits (of differing size), the system is not working. unless the schools are willing to permanently operate with deficits of varying size and justify it as a marketing tool or some mumbo jumbo about how "sports buikds character" type line in order to take money from the university's general fund, etc. the solution to that is not taking out a short term loan to make payroll while lowering your future revenues. again, extending the grant of rights has to be key for all the schools other than michigan, osu, psu, and usc. not sure why osu is going along with that just for $190 million.
-
the standings seem ridiculously close this year. its 1/4 through the season and too early, but seeing the wings at the top and the leafs (almost) at the bottom is very nice indeed.
-
theyre going to spend all of that in year one or two buying players and coaches and balancing budgets. its taking a loan to pay off short term operational costs. only a couple are in debt for making capital investments like penn state with their stadium.
-
jalen duren is going to get paid.
-
its an incredibly bad deal. it undervalues the product. it is a payday loan. michigan is right. this should be the canary in the coalmine for college sports. if the big ten - the biggest and richest conference in america - cannot reliably make a profit under the current system, then the current system is not sustainable.
-
the california pension fund has decided to step back and re-assess its offer to the big ten in light of michigan and usc's resistance. if its not unanimous, they dont want it. but some other company will.
-
starting to be a pattern for him.
-
i know the season just started, and it pains me to say this, but how is michigan a top 10 team and michigan state isnt? state actually beat a good team. michigan survived two bad teams and looked like crap doing it.
