they were outplayed in the 4th quarter, they dominated the first half. they won because minnesota is a mediocre team. and they barely won. that win over u$c isnt looking so special right now. michigan is a bad team. from the coaching staff on down to the players on the field.

he has a kid who was placed in charge of the bulls, because reinsdorf doesnt care about basketball. theyre not going anywhere. to make nice with the state they proposed a few hundred million in renovations to the area around the current park. we'll see if he actually follows through with it. he made noise about nashville but 1) nashville wants an expansion team and not an established team; and 2) its just a ploy to get the state to pony up and give them a billion dollars. JB told them (and the bears) to pound sand. but its an election year. we'll see what they say next year. BJ the mayor is all for it, but we'll see how much money he has left over after he pays his bosses over at the teacher's union.

move em to nashville.

the KNICKS are trading for karl anthony townes????? thibodeau???? the new york media pressure???? with the softest player in the nba???? this is going to be amazing.

what a great season.

he should get all the votes. where are your trash cans now, bitches?

boom. worst. team. ever. suck it, reinsdorf.

oh no. poor jim harbaugh!

considering the team he inherited was small and unskilled, its taken a lot of time to bring them back up to nhl average.

that move was a good one. true. that was the knock on him coming out in the draft: high motor but limited skill. that seems to be the M.O. for most of yzerman's first round picks. or more accurately, that he passes on players with high skill to take "200 foot all around jacks of all trades masters of none" types. i think that's a little harsh but has some truth to it. that's where kasper falls, imo. my other question with that critique is "is yzerman wrong to covet those types"? i have a feeling that nhl "draft experts" fall in love with a type, and that type is skilled offensive players. and then we get to the draft and nhl gms value size and strength over small skill guys who dominate in more wide open junior or european play. just an observation. i have a lot of hopes for yzerman's top picks. kasper is probably the lowest on my list other than cossa and that's only because cossa is a goalie.

priced himself out of a job. athletic will pick him up. he was one of the best guys there.

he still seems best suited as an agitator, work horse, pk specialist. i still dont see a ton of skill. with that said, those are valuable traits to have. seems like an andrew copp/jt compher type. but i readily admit i am not a hockey scout. lol.

i always disliked him for skipping an entire season and sabotaging that bulls team. i hate the bulls but that team was fun and rose killed it by refusing to play.

i think kevin warren's time with the bears makes plain that he is not some organizational genius and is really just an empty suit who has empthy suited his way to top jobs.

the ratings are strong for usc-michigan or alabama-georgia, or tennessee-oklahoma. what are the ratings for northwestern-rutgers? or purdue-oregon state? tv wants 5 million viewers a pop. there arent too many schools that deliver those ratings regularly. that's why a future "super league" is not out of the realm of possibility. like you say, tv calls the shots. that's why the pac ten dissolved, because tv told kevin warren what to do and he did it. same with pettiti. eventually tv will tell the acc to pound sand and notre dame to get on board. and they will.

wings win! wings win!

i think doing away with the ncaa could bring the parties together. the south and the midwest would unite in opposition. only the northeast and west coast liberals would maintain support for centralized authority against evil male sports. everyone - EVERYONE - hates the ncaa. it would be political gold to usurp it. the problem is what comes next. the reality is a two division league with the big ten on one side and the sec on the other. each with 20 teams. you need 10 more teams. 4 in the big ten and 6 in the sec. get notre dame, florida state, north carolina, virginia, miami, clemson, stanford, cal....and who else? bc? smu? oklahoma state? kansas? pitt? syracuse?

everyone is discovering that there isnt much difference between the angels and the white sox.

the ncaa will do nothing until someone forces them to do something. if they try to enforce serious rules against financial incentives they will be sued. again. and they will lose. again. thr only real authority they have is over minor stuff like cheeseburgers and sign stealing. stuff where schools with normal coaches just beg forgiveness and get a slap on the wrist. any SERIOUS infraction will be met with a lawsuit now and the ncaa will lose it. all this ends only with collective bargaining and a written, enforceable agreement to limit salaries and a real penalty if (when) the ohio state's and texas a & m's of the world violate that agreement.

i'm guessing he got a better offer for next year.

ok, who had "before the season even starts" for his kwahi leonard injury bingo? cause he's already having knee surgery.

true, but if you remember, houston was injured all of last season...

davenport is a much more complete player than houston, come on. he's just hurt all the time. and probably wasnt a great risk when they signed him.

houston might be a third down pass rusher. maybe. he was sort of a one trick pony two years ago. he doesnt set the edge. he isnt very big.

i have no love for the artists formerly known as the redskins, but jayden daniels becoming patrick mahomes and caleb williams becoming justin fields would be pretty damn awesome.
