Strong words from the family about CTE and how in their view “the NFL was ultimately the cause of his untimely demise”. Yes, I’m not a fan of sourcing TMZ but it posted the statement unlike some other outlets
They want to get paid.

4-3 in that stretch would be a good result.

I've decided that I am mostly fine with this. I know if I could have continued to extend my college experience, I certainly would have. Add in the fact that they are now getting paid (though these guys likely not a lot) and they aren't prospects at the next level, so I have no problem with them hanging on as long as possible. Is it a little bizarre? Of course. But there are plenty of other things wrong with college athletics that are worse than this.
I say let them play as long as they want.
dont they need to be, you know, students?

I didnt see a whole lot of the game, but what i did see appeared more competitive. they even tried a bit on defense.
a bit.
but "a bit" is a big step up from previous years.

sam presti should win executive of the year every year.
the only alternative is to give it to the guy who helped build the spurs but i'm sure adam silver would be too embarassed to accept.

A 14 team tournament would require 4 rounds to complete. Regular season ends on a Sunday and the first playoff game is the next Saturday. So you would have to play 4 rounds in a 5-day window to complete the tournament before the playoffs start.
There would be a big incentive to finish in the top half of the bracket, just to eliminate some travel. The bottom 6 teams to win the tournament would most likely have to travel 4 times in a 5-day window. That should keep the bottom teams from tanking in the regular season.
Where you will see some tanking still is the 8th/9th seed area.
Let's say you have been in the lottery the last two seasons and your team is starting to get good. You have a great shot at the 8th seed and making the playoffs. Your reward? Getting your teeth kicked in by the 1 seed. So maybe you have one or two of your better players develop back spasms for a week or two so you lose enough games to drop to the #9 seed. You are now the favorite to win the tournament, get one last high pick before moving onto the playoffs the next season. That is where you will still have some tanking.
You will always have some tanking on a record based draft order. The goal isn't to eliminate it, the goal is to minimize it the best we can.
what's the ibcentive for the players to try hard? the team gets a better draft pick and he comes in and takes my job or reduces my playing time?

$500k is a pretty significant fine.
so now the jazz will just make up a surgery for jjj and lauri.

Unlike with Duren and Ivey where I was all for waiting until RFA, I'd consider trying to get Ausar at a decent extension price this summer if possible. If his offense comes around at all next year he's going to get paid big time. Might be best to treat it like Stew and lock him up at a reasonable amount while you can.
"if" is doing a lot of work there.
but he's athletic enough to think that if - there's that word again - anyone could have the coordination to learn how to shoot a basketball, its him.

Utah is shutting JJJ down for the rest of the season to get knee surgery. Something called Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis.
is that aj dybantsa's nickname? cause that's why jjj is getting shut down
-
Duren's deal should be determined in part on how he does in the playoffs. when teams play defense and things matter. can he score without cade feeding him easy baskets? can he get rebounds and put backs when the other team's bigs are trying for rebounds on every possession? can he be a focal point when cade sits? can he defend the paint?
if he cant - and they think he wont develop any further - then they'd be crazy to pay him. they may have already backed themselves into a corner so it might not even matter.
what's the alternative? could they even do a sign and trade?

Crazy that this game is 2-2 right now.
buddha is going to hate this but I think Elias Petterson looks pretty good so far 😈
Should have had a goal in the first but the refs let a pretty egregious hook go imo
he's playing against the equivalent of a Q league team, he better look good.

i find it hilarious that people really thought scottie barnes was better than cade cunningham.

and tigers traded from the tigers are no longer tigers unless/until they return to the tigers.
tigers traded by the tigers dont make the choice to leave.
i dont know why youre arguing with me about how i feel about players who used to play for the teams i follow. its not a logic problem, its who i have emotional ties to.

2026 Detroit Lions Offseason Thread

The nfl will give lip service to a lot of things. in the end, they care about money. if player safety were really their goal, they wouldnt be asking for an 18th game.
i dont blame the owners, its a sport played for money and a multi-billion dollar business. at the end of the day, its a violent game and if they limit the violence too much, people will stop watching. not many people are watching a flag football game between the lions and jets.
the industry has a lot of questions about "cte" and whether it is actually anything special or just run of the mill brain damage. also, players in the past certainly have arguments against the nfl for such injuries, but now? you know the risks. you can go to another profession of you dont want to play the game.
