It couldn't even be the same agreement as Israel would have to walk away from a lot more of the West Bank than they would have had to then. 🧩

Then again, what makes anyone think Abbas would sign on to deal that Arafat walked away from? On the the problems is too many cooks in the kitchen.

That would be juice with 'juice' wouldn't it?

I'd wager Manning would have to pitch himself out of the rotation in ST to not be in the rotation. Last Spring you probably couldn't get Wentz through waivers, based on his last season this year you might! Everyone loves Olson right now, for good reason, but he's probably the next TJ on the staff.....

My guess is they hold Mize to 5 inning starts, skip a couple of starts around the ASB to give him a rehab break, then either move him to the BP late in the season or shut him down - all of course assuming he doesn't go down before any/all of that happens.

I'm sure they were all hitting baseline 3s, just like Drummond used to in practice.

And I suppose the sun is coming up in the East again tomorrow?

IDK, hard to believe a guy would want to dog it more than take advantage of the chance to play with his kid brother. I worry more that at his age the onset of psychological problems might be something as serious as the front edge of a developing schizophrenia, which could be pretty tragic.

interesting possibility

But what is probable and what is moral cannot simply be the same thing. I may be taking a risk of some sort to do a good work, that certainly doesn't make it an immoral act and absolutely to do what is 'safest' is certainly not always moral. Laws/Rules must exist to maintain social order and security, but there is no law anywhere that under some circumstance it isn't moral to violate, and there is no legal act which under some circumstance isn't immoral. The Hebrews tried to build a moral culture around law and Jesus told them that their project had been a failure. Law always fails as an ultimate arbiter of morality, and morality as the basis of law is a slippery slope to theocracy/tyranny

This, sadly. Impact players make an impact, no matter who is on the court with them. Cade's return has produced exactly nothing over what Ivey, Duren, Hayes, et al were doing without him.

Nothing wrong with a center......IF HE CAN SHOOT

Dollars are all fungible

Does he have a buyout? Maybe that ties UCLA hands. They bolted to the B1G because they needed the money. They've lost $90 million in the last two years.

I expected a big strong Euro like Moritz to play the placid enforcer type in the NHL, but instead he's turned into maybe the edgiest player on the team. I guess that's fine as long as he can stay out of the box. If he develops too much of a rep that might get more difficult.

Regression to the mean. They had a bad D last year and only improved it marginally - they are a good team but never were as good as people were able to start hoping based on the 1st half record.

Harbaugh's first presser after re-instatement and he immediately stumps for more revenue sharing for players. On one level he is completely correct that justice in the abstract demands the players get the same kind of slice of the pie they get in say the NFL. The problem is that kind of professional sports has nothing to do with being in college and there is no natural fit for universities to remain the caretakers of the those teams under the kind of economics that Harbaugh is arguing for. I don't disagree with him in main about what players deserve, but I don't think he realizes that in the end it simply can't be college football and professional football at the same time. It has to be/will eventually be one or the other. Either Congress makes legal exceptions to more or less return college sport to the some level of the status quo ante, or revenue college sports as we know them will/must inevitably morph into something very different from what they have traditionally been. https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2023/11/suspension-over-jim-harbaugh-renews-call-for-revenue-sharing-in-college-sports.html

It was interesting to see Hartmann really having an extended 'discussion' with Seider when they went to the box. Redmond thought it was Hartmann arguing it was unintentional and it looked like Mortitz basically telling him he didn't care if it was or wasn't.

There is a downside to using portable inflators, which is that you can end up with wet air in your tires - especially if you use one in a humid climate like MI in the summer. A commercial compressor with a holding tank lets the water that condenses out of air as the pressure goes up fall out in the tank. While aluminum/magnesium wheels don't rust per se, they still build up surface oxidation that can lead to leaky rims. You do what you have to do to keep rolling, but dry air is best if you can get it.

This could be interesting.

The Wings still look bad against the fastest teams in the league (who doesn't) but if the goaltending holds up their depth should carry them into the playoffs. And maybe Edvinsson can add a little more to the mix.

Raymond driving the slot on the PP seems to be a new wrinkle. I like it.

The lead assistants do a lot of recruiting, or at least are tasked to, so M probably does have a handle on what kind of recruiting chops Moore has. But no doubt recruiting is a set of talents all of its own and any overlap with having a strategic in game management mind is purely serendipity.

Well, why bother with what is a pretty high bar when you can just shout a few stock phrases and get on with your own self.

I'll take the under.
