selfishly, i hope he does. on paper they are a top 5 team again next year.

how embarassing for dallas.

🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

outclassed.

prediction: 240/290/440

im more worried about how they plan to stop the green bay offense. no christian watson the last time tjey met, and rodgers threw three red zone ints. i doubt that happens again.

big game tonight. not for any real reason other than the annoying devils fan in my office.

i still think the trade can be a success because i dont think that much of mantha.

the fact that he cleared is either a 3d chess level move from yzerman kmowing that nobody would take the cap hit for damaged goods, or the rest of the league knows what the issue is now and wouldnt touch him because of it. i choose to believe its because yzerman is a gambling genius.

so how does that anthony mantha trade look now?

i bet a lot of nhl gms are aware of what his problems actually are, so it will be interesting to see if anyone claims him.

im ambivalent on the shift. i dont like to see it, but part of me thinks that its SO EASY to beat and they STILL keep pulling the ball into it every time. let them suffer if they cant make changes to counter the defensive counters.

enforcing the pitch clock will go a lot farher in "solving" the games' problems than messing with the ball will.

he said that if he was warde manual, he would interview urban meyer. that's a ridiculous take. michigan would never have taken meyer after he went from florida to ohio state even BEFORE all the shady stuff that happened at ohio state AND all the shady shit that happened at jacksonville. after all of that stuff, there is a 0% chance michigan would ever speak to meyer, much less hire him.

there has been all sorts of rule change talk. putting a "3 second rule" for the corner so you cant have a shooter camped out there. decreasing the size of the lane to get teams to emphasize the big man again. allow hand checking and more physical defense.

free them up to hand check again and i bet that number goes down. on the one hand, 71 points for donovan mitchell and every other scorer seemingly getting 50 per night is ridoculous. otoh, nobody wants to go back to the 90s and early 00s of 70 point games.

unfortunately this is probably true. they would probably love david shaw (until he started losing). finding their own version of marcus freeman would have michigan's DEI department (all of them) salivating.

that's one of your more ridiculous takes. 🙂 if urban works again in college football, it will be for a southern school. no big ten team would touch him, imo. michigan would never have hired him before and will obviously not do it now.

the pendulum has swung too far, lets change some rules to let teams play some defense again.

vrabel gets fired at tennessee. takes michigan job. i'm not kidding.

if harbaugh wants michigan to lead the fight in preserving the old status quo, then he should leave. any such fight will not be successful and will do nothing more than make michigan fall further behind on the recruiting and acquisition of talent. but i also think this is another reason why he is leaving. his vision of what michigan is (and was) was always a little....aspirational, imo. but any such idea that michigan football was tied into michigan academics is now completely gone. the players are mercenaries, not students. much moreso than they ever were before. i think harbaugh doesnt like that and will use it as a reason why he ultimately chose to leave now.

initially i think it was.

i think its BS. i think they put him through waivers because he's not ready to come back and they dont think anyone will take his salary. this will come as no surprise, but i imagine there is a lot more to his personal leave of absence than we know about.

a tweet like that from bacon tells me that he's 100% gone. just a matter of where.

his head injury that was so bad he played two weeks later. and all the people on twitter forgot about. until he was ruled out again and the OUTRAGE MACHINE began anew.
