I get that, but I think the NBA can be sort of like other forms of western culture in that it will seep in and/or people will seek it out. Like movies or music. China can try and might be successful for a time at pretending it does not exist, but people will find it and know about it and spend their money on it. The…

The thing about a market for a product like basketball is that no matter how mad the Chinese government would get, millions of Chinese people will still play basketball and as a result, enjoy basketball, and seek out the NBA.

Luck in where you go a such an underrated factor in a QB’s success. Most of the top QBs are so talented that there really is not much separating them in terms of all around skills. It is their situation and how they are able to deal with it that truly separates them from each other.

They should do one better and require any team that wants to be considered for the Playoff to play at least one (maybe two?) non-conference game from another major conference. Maybe even play fewer conference games to make it happen.

The other thing the Dolphins got out of the deal is a making Pittsburgh a little better just in case they were going to think about tanking too now that they have no Ben.

He also has a great line and a fantastic running game to help him.

Coaches are extremely dumb and overrated, which is why coaches who are actually smart can be so dominant.

The only problem with that rule is that shitty coaches who are forced to go for it on 4th and goal will end up winning more than they would be kicking FGs on 4th and goal at the one.

I don’t understand why coaches don’t recognize the fact that if they get stopped at the one yard line, then the other teams starts their drive FROM THE ONE YARD LINE!

There is an easy and foolproof way to get students to come to early season, non-conference games... Schedule actual good teams from real conferences.

Alabama just saw this quote and realized they need to schedule Liberty next year.

I don’t want to any laws violated, but if a school pays the football or hoops players directly then they will have to deal with every athlete and every sport to make it all legal. That is why it is so unlikely that athletes will ever get paid that way.

Yeah they should pay them, but getting that done in a reasonable way without every other athlete and other sports at the university being dealt with including whatever legal morass that would have to be waded through is the clusterfuck.

If the Saints don’t commit that penalty on the kicker allowing the Texans to take the lead, the game probably goes into overtime.

Colleges in California are already prohibited from competing for NCAA championships, because they are in the weak ass Pac-12 Conference.

THIS is the way to do it. Having the schools pay athletes directly for playing would be too much of a clusterfuck in that you have to deal with which athletes, which sports, Title IX issues, various labor laws, and a million other things.

All these players that are supposedly a “distraction” are only ever distracting to the media and reporters trying to cover the team.

His cousin Empee Lamb the 3rd is going to end CeeDee’s career though.

Another aspect of this is that compared to those snowflakes that worship him, his skin is pretty thick.

The only sort of reasonable argument against it is of course tackling, or having her get hit with a blindside block or something.
