Yep I meant the three Big Ten playing lacrosse teams (PSU/OSU/Michigan) prior to 2015 were in different conferences. Once they added Rutgers and MD it made sense to go out and find a sixth. Clear benefits for Hopkins too.

They started the league in 2015 when Rutgers and MD joined and they had five Lacrosse playing schools. Added JH as the sixth team for the conference. Previously, the three Lacrosse schools were spread out in different conferences.

It’s almost like there is a link right in the piece explaining how they messed up Edwin. They didn’t get much of a discount on Morales and jumped the gun way too soon as a bunch of similar players remained on the market for weeks after. And Edwin ended up signing for less than their original offer, had they not jumped…

But I think it’s too many writes wanting to get on their high horse and act like this is some great morality lesson. They are on the ballot, they aren’t banned from the sport so just vote based on their career accomplishments. Or don’t vote at all, but save me the ridiculous articles. And this guy is just a moron for…

MLB and the Hall of Fame have ruled on the Steroid Era! All of those records are official and every player appears on the ballot (unlike Pete Rose). They also just elected Bud F’n Selig. If that isn’t a tacit endorsement to not hold the Steroid Era against anyone I don’t know what is. Enough with this grandstanding…

This is a really dumb idea

Couldn’t Ctrl-F to find out how to spell some of those names? Like the one printed 55 times in the title of this article (thanks Ctrl F).

And go back to coaches get two challenges and a third if they are right and stop the every turnover and scoring play. That gives us four to six stops a game. Not the 15 we currently have. It’s interminable.

I don’t know what was dumber, the lateral punting or handheld fans affecting a field goal.

Thanks for naming a bunch of teams that bottomed out until they found a superstar then started building. Or started with a much better foundation to build around then Hinkie had with the Sixers. And now the Sixers are in the position to start building around these pieces. It’s been three years not an eternity. After…

Not before they have the young building pieces! What’s the point of players to help them win 35 games and pick 12th again? If you have the Nets picks if makes sense. Without that it doesn’t, not yet at least.

7? That and the exclamation points is a nice way to make you’re argument look convincing to the uninformed. But it’s not even true. By my count it’s 8 if you are really counting the three rookies from this year, one who is in Europe, one who got hurt after they drafted him #1 and one who is in needed of development…

The Wizards built “smart” I guess and they have had to pay Wall and Beal huge max deals before they were ready to compete. Or the competed one year and just took a big step back. I don’t see how the Sixers situation will be any worse. That’s just NBA economics for EVERY team. If Embiid has a great year and stays…

The Celtics had two “All-Stars” that they were able to trade to the Nets for a ridiculous package of picks. That allowed them wait on the Nets pick while also making trades to improve the current team and get guys like Crowder and Thomas who would have helped the Sixers return right back to 35 wins without the hope of…

Certainly not a star but he has shown the skills that scouts raved about and would have made him the #1 pick without injury. Scouts just voted that Simmons would be the best rookie in 5 years from this draft. You would argue these aren’t building blocks? Jah and Noel had flaws but Hinkie drafter “Best Player…

Ok thanks for the feedback. You sound smart. How have the Sixers been any worse than the Kings, Magic, Knicks, Bucks, Wolves and Lakers the last few years? Just more blatant but they were actually making sound decisions, adding pieces and keeping stability in the coaching staff. Some of those teams are ahead of them…

Those are fine points and they are now reaching the point where serious decisions need to be made. But this was all about finding generational talent and it looks like they have one in Embiid (who by the way they drafted after the first “tank” year. Who else should they have taken? Looks pretty great right now). And…

Playoff team? No they won 34 games the year Doug Collins traded Iguodala for Andrew Bynum then signed Kwame Brown and Nick Young. The year after being an eight seed and only advancing because Derrick Rose’s knee exploded. This team was mired in 35-40 wiin mediocrity for a decade post 2001! So yes, I’ll take three…

My Dad is one of those mid century Toms. Hence why I am a 30 year old Tom.

Thanks I remember that. Of course people were predicting that but my point is when seeing them play, there were basketball reasons why it might not be working and why it would take time. Wade and LeBron being both ball dominant, the other 9 players, floor spacing, Bosh clogging the lane for them, etc. Maybe I…
