Though the odds are Harbaugh wouldn't accept it anyway, he'd have JJ or Corem take it. That's his greatest asset as a coach, he does always elevate his players.

I'm sure the Romanov's thought they were the real owners of Russia at the time too. Every country that falls apart looks like it won't until it does.

However, the political fact is that bad leaders do tend to get worse if given the chance and pathological personalities generally only get more pathological with time. I have no desire to give Trump the chance to be worse, and it would be a foolish risk for Americans dismiss the high likelihood he would be worse.

With a relief pitcher, a manager's decisions can make a big difference. Without a batter by batter analysis it's hard to know how much effort Thompson made to keep Soto in front of free swingers. But more significantly, if you look at his pitch usage, it's clear that from season to season Soto's slider command comes and goes. He had commanded it well in '21, and had a nice season for the Tigers. It disappeared in '22 and he was down to being pretty much a one pitch pitcher. This year in Philly looked a lot more like 2021 for him with his slider usage at the highest in in career so he clearly had regained better command of it. But looking at his record, you'd be hard pressed to not to believe it could disappear for him again at any time.

This. We don't see practice, we don't know the route designs. Maybe for all his talent he hasn't learned to run his routes as accurately as St. Brown or LaPorta and/or maybe Goff also has less confidence he knows Williams' speed well enough to have his timing down with him. Goff is playing the best QB of his career, based not in the least on success in his decisions about who he throws to. If this was a struggling passing offense, maybe Goff is more willing to elevate Williams in his read list, but it's not. Goff is basically in charge of the process on the field and he is going to work Williams into the game as his comfort level with him rises and probably not before.

Lions have the 4th most completions and yards in the league. It's not like the current receiver room is operating at a deficit. They don't need to push William's role.

Something is not right. A team should never get worse when it's best player comes back on the court.

both these teams hard to watch.

The money is there, but hard to think of anything else good about the A&M gig.

game getting away quick.

Geez, has it really been 5 seasons?

from what I could find he was 32% from 3pt in the OTE league and he's a decent FT shooter so at least he's not shot impaired the way a Rodman or Drummond were. At 20 you can hope there is upside but who ever knows?

I suppose the theory is a great athlete may learn to shoot but a plodding shooter will never become athletic. If you like theory.....

Just bring back Sherrone Moore from where-ever he goes next year.

not at all.

they could put a thousand kids though 4 years of A&M for that money. I know - silly - no reason for that comparison to even come to mind....

They were pretty confident PSU could not score, pound the ball and run the clock. The 32 (or whatever) consecutive run number is also a bit of an anomaly: they attempted a deep ball and it was erased on a penalty so the number of consecutive runs actually called was a smaller number.

Having to 'suffer' Sherrone Moore game managing for UM is probably like Br'er Rabbit being thrown into the briar patch. He's probably the best football mind on the staff, incl JH.

Russians seem intend on setting some kind of record for troop and equipment senselessly sent to slaughter in Avdiivka

I'm not sure if this is your question but if it's "should all the neutrals stay tied together, that would be yes. So you now have a larger wire nut with the three neutrals plus your jumper to the neutral on the outlet. And for that matter the same with the grounds.

he will need a Corinthian leather chair.

all of which would be the legal part of his job. That is pretty nuts.

RIght - that's an office inbox. Not to mention you don't put your title in your real email at UM because you pretty much keep it forever while titles come and go.

most E-Mail addresses at the U are in a public directory, though the AD's is not.

probably helps UM with a judge because it shows clear intent to frustrate due process and a judge won't like that.
