  1. i suspect this has been going on for a very long time, but now its easier to track because its legal and online and thr players are still stupid enough to get caught.
  2. i still think he ends up in vegas. that's where they seem to want to go now. maybe nyc? i can tell you for sure that detroit is not on that list. they wont be until they start winning again.
  3. silver's tone is so much different now than when they were investigating donald sterling.
  4. eklund or edvinsson is a tough call, but i'd take the defenseman over the small flair winger if i were detroit and already had raymond.
  5. he's way too low on buch and johannson. i think lane hutson could be a one year wonder. i know he scored a **** ton of points for a "defenseman" but there's a reason that's in quotes. try putting him in his own zone on face offs and stop sheltering him on every defensive possession. i'll take edvinsson over hutson. maybe that's me being a homer, but they treat hutson like he's karlsson 2.0. i'd take kasper over nazar too. kasper plays tough and is a lot bigger than nazar.
  6. he's low on augustine because of his alleged lack of high end athleticism.
  7. nothing. the cost would be too much.
  8. you wouldnt trade for kaprizov unless he agreed to sign with you. which he wont do. so dont even worry about it.
  9. but his agent said he was cleared!
  10. probably vegas. 😞
  11. i wonder who is giving this kwahi-clippers information to pablo torre? who has an axe to grind? is it someone from the clippers or lakers, teams that kwahi's group tried to extort with the same scheme? some jilted agent? someone who hates ballmer? more info today on "missed payments" to kwahi resulting in more ballmer payments to the broke company that he was supposedly swindled by. i dont particularly care for kwahi given all his shenanigans around skipping a season in san antonio, so this is all very shadenfruede inducing for me.
  12. the more i read pronman's stuff the less i think he knows. you cant possibly follow that many prospects in that many leagues and have any real idea how they are playing PLUS follow nhlers? nhl teams have multiple scouts for multiple levels, pronman is supposed to make us believe he follows all the major junior hockey leagues, the european leagues, the russian leagues, the ahl, and the nhl? gtfo. take his stuff with a mighty grain of salt.
  13. if michigan makes another stupid coaching hire - and remember, they lucked into jim harbaugh - it could definitely happen. lol.
  14. it hasnt happened yet because breaking away from the ncaa is hard. the money is there. television has taken it over, its just a matter of time before they succomb to the sweet lure of saudi funded PC money. christ, theyre going to be playing more games in a season than the nfl soon! its absolutely crazy. people watch arizona vs carolina in the nfl, people will watch ole miss v michigan state in cfb. and they will never tire of georgia-michigan, texas-penn state, usc-alabama, and ohio state-florida. just like they never tire of bears-packers, giants-cowboys, raiders-broncos, etc. what will die is temple v northern illinois. or, games like that will return to the small time sport it was before all of this happened. i do wonder what happens to college basketball. if it stays under the ncaa rubric, or if they take that with them too. unlike college football, college basketball's huge draw is the tournament, and part of that draw is the little guy pulling the upset. so they might keep that and just break football away. we'll see.
  15. 16.6 million for ohio state texas last week. 9.6 million for michigan oklahoma. both of those are huge numbers for regular season games. osu texas is the biggest week 1 numbers ever, i think. imagine what the ratings will be when the sec and big ten break away and there are marquee matchups like these every week?
  16. you talk about the bulls like they are a normal franchise trying to win.
  17. its the bulls. they will always be cheap. their goal is to make the play in every year. building your team around josh giddey and coby white is a good step toward always achieving and never surpassing that goal.
  18. the big ten needs programming from noon to midnight on saturday.
  19. danielson is considerably taller than suzuki, horvat or compher. that's a plus for him. he was over a point per game player in juniors and did really well once he got to portland and away from the wheat kings. he's a center, so distribution will be his game. i thought he was on track last year but he plateaued a bit. he didnt show well in the playoffs but none of them did. people point to kasper's point totals in his final year and say how danielson was the same, but kasper waa coming off an injury and finished on a high note and played great in the playoffs. danielson did not. that's wjy he probably plays in the ahl this year until someone gets hurt. danielson looks like a defensive center with some playmaking chops. put him with a skilled winger and let him do his thing. i think he'll play well in the nhl, maybe better than the ahl.
  20. sherrone moore was not ready for the michigan job.
  21. i think there were better coaches available but this administration was left with little wiggle room thanks to harbaugh. with that said, a little vision may have gone a long way. make him the interim coach and conduct a full search the next year. and there were TONS of coaches who would sign up for michigan. i'm still mad they missed out on jedd fisch. he's had some bad luck at washington, but he can coach.
  22. i think a lot of these guys have the self-awareness of a 15 year old.
  23. next year michigan has the #1 back in the country coming in, that's why i think he will leave.
  24. kevin durant at 11? maybe a few years ago. i'm a big devin booker-stan, but 18? nyah.
