does brooklyn own their pick?

buzbee is such a scum bag. the spurs said primo "needs to work on some things." no kidding.

good win considering how many players they are missing. suter drives me nuts with the missed opportunities. zadina was nothing, as usual. larkin left seider out to dry on the goal. seider with the pinch and larkin with a half assed cover for him. raymond with a good game. was close to 3 or 4 goals tonight.

finally raymond.

they cant buy a break right now.

i dont think osu looked good in that game. they took advantage of penn state's starting right tackle being out. that and clifford not being very good. osu didnt run the ball well on penn state, that doesnt bode well. otoh, they threw the ball well and their receivers played very well against the two best corners in the conference. stroud reminds me of justin fields, only less athletic. he doesnt seem to know what's happening in the game, but he can throw darts to his receivers, and those receivers are good enough to catch anything that comes their way. osu's skill position talent is as good as anyone in the country, but i'm still not sold on them in the trenches. at the end of the day, as long as james franklin is there penn state will recruit like crazy and underachieve. he got lightning in a bottle with joe moorhead and saquon barkley but has looked totally discombobulated sense.

the only game that matters to state is this saturday. win that one and they'll tack another $20 million on to tucker's contract.

except cade passes the ball. and plays defense.

legit third line player, which is probably his ceiling. but ras has shown improvement over before when he was borderline unplayable. i still think the biggest problem for this club is defense. getting the puck and moving it out of their own zone. theyre very poor at that.

the thing about the teal was there was no reason to do it. they wanted to break from their past? why? celebrate the past, dont change for change's sake. it was a dumb thing to do and it failed both on the court and in the marketplace because they abandoned it a few years later and went back to their roots. the pistons have nice uniforms and good colors. there is no need for teal.

in two years he might be paying $1 billion in salary + penalties.

im still biased against most if the players kenny acquired in his last few years. that includes ras, zadina, hronek, veleno, lindstrom. they just havent developed. yes, they are still young. but that excuse is almost over. you think you'd see some real growth by now if they were ever going to be anything more than solid third/fourth line players.

i dont care if it was an accident or not, forgive the boy and move on. if it happens again its an issue.

a lot of those receivers are open for bryce young because he bought enough time with his legs to get them open. bryce young has been a magician this year. bama probably has 3 losses if not for him.

cough...

killian is here to stay. they need someone to translate for victor when he gets here. show him around the best places to get coq au vin.

an apology for any mistake, acceptance of the apology, and further discussion is all that is needed. there is no need for "punishment." there is need for forgiveness and understanding. if a pattern of disrespect emerges, then that should be dealt with differently. but one instance like this is not a cause for giving the internet mobs and ace anbender's of the world their pound of flesh.

cade can totally be the guy you build around. he's in his second year and he missed most of his first with injuries. he is the prototype of what you want: shooter, ball handler, wing sized, can create his own shot in multiple ways. he needs to be more consistent, obviously. but i still think he can be an all star in this league in a few years. steoh curry didnt really become STEPH CURRY until year 4. and wasnt an all star unt year 5. give cade some time.

no. i said if a guy plays on the minimum for three years and gets to his arb years he could be set for life if he invests his money well, or even not so well. three years at 700k plus one year at a slight raise over 700k? you could totally live on that if you invested wisely. buy a franchise. invest in some properties. heck, invest in some properties and then get a coaching gig. but you'd have to live an average lifestyle as a ballplayer, which many young people dont do. i have a relative who is a boxer. boxed a few fights. made it to tv as the designated victim for a younger fighter a few times. made an ok payday. then used the money to buy a gym in mexico and now he trains fighters, but has some income from the gym. he'll never be rich, but he's got an income stream for himself. ballplayers will make much much more money than that and can use it to set themselves up for a comfortable life if they want.

im not sure how much money they will have for free agents if they keep or dont extend goff.

im fairness, losing st brown and swift crippled the offense, so i understand your point.

i think that's your lions bias. and no team in the nfl is fully healthy. have you seen the dolphins injury report? they lost their entire secondary a few weeks ago. the niners were down 9 starters on defense the other day. would you rank the lions above the bears? the bears whooped the pats in new england, beat the niners in a flood, almost beat the vikings, and played the giants very tough. their resume is better than detroit's. honestly, everyone's resume is better than detroit's. we only really pay attention to detroit, but other teams have issues too. next year i expect them to be in the middle of the pack in the league, but theyre not there yet. not close really, imo.

okudah played really well in the last game. he was basically playing as a linebacker/box safety. played the run very well. we've all seen okudah get dusted by top receivers this year when he doesnt have safety help. is it possible that okudah's best position is at safety? someone strong enough to play the run in the box but also good enough to cover receivers? he may be more suited to that role than a "#1 corner". of course that means the lions still need a top cover corner, but i think we all knew that anyway. current draft needs: cornerback quarterback defensive tackle linebacker playmaking running back interior oline

i also find it very hard to believe the lions are the 15th best team in the nfl. the lions are in the bottom third of teams at best, imo, with maybe the least talented defense in the league.
