Exactly. They’re more competitive now but not better than either the Bucks or Raptors, who they would probably need to beat a collective 8 times, including multiple road wins, in the playoffs to earn the right to get swept by Golden State in the finals. If anything, this moves makes the Sixers at best something like…

Between this and Jayme Closs, Wisconsin man is really outdoing Florida man so far in 2019.

In true Big 12 fashion, a lot of offenses, but lacking defenses.

Less local TV money because Canada lacks the competitive regional sports network ecosystem of the US, less league wide corporate partnership money because the American corporate sponsors in general don’t care about Canadians as much as Americans, and less money money because the league pays players in US Dollars but…

Enrolling early is incredibly common, especially if you’re trying to get on the field your freshman year. Sophomores and juniors recruited by Power 5 programs are absolutely aware that it is preferred if not expected that they enroll early after being expected to “sign early” in mid-December, while the coaching…

Hawt taek: Jimmy Butler is the most overrated player in the NBA and the current iteration of the Sixers lacks the talent to win a title.

It basically is high school level, it’s fifth division, meaning this team is in theory something like the 300th best team in Germany.

Isn’t it a bit disingenuous to paint a local radio idiot as “ESPN Radio Dork” like he’s a national radio idiot?

You know who would be a great entity to handle medical attention? The players union that is supposed to be looking out for players against greedy owners.

I’d say a more apt comparison would be NBA: Freddy Adu was Darko Milicic, Pulisic is Luka Doncic (already has achieved much more but is still very young).

Teams/leagues always say digital tickets are about security. Bullshit, it’s about controlling the secondary market and getting a piece of resale profits. The NFL went all digital so that NFL Ticket Exchange (run by Ticketmaster) controlled NFL resale while also shaking down StubHub for $40 million/year to use the…

So you found the hair rules? Please share, they’d probably be relevant here since you’re implying this kid isn’t following them.

I was at a bar near a college campus this fall, I always have my ID in hand because I’d rather be ready than dig it out when asked.  I ordered my drink and the bartender asked me why I had my ID in my hand.  I’m 29 but damn, I was shook.

I mean a 22 year old on draft night is definitely more valuable than a 23 year old considering most first round draft picks are 19 and signing four year deals. Dude was a full rookie contract older than most of the other prospects.

Not only did he not have a dad, but think about how many people in the last 20 years he’s successfully dodged that simply wanted to use him solely for their own benefit? How many dipshit shady coaches, “handlers”, managers, friends, relatives did he steer clear of by the age of 18?  It’s incredible.

Bayern’s off year means a top two finish in the Bundesliga and losing before the semifinal round of the Champions League, that is absolutely the definition of “perennial powerhouse.”

What makes you think Stanford volleyball is a bunch of progressives? It’s a powerhouse that recruits nationally (mostly from rich families) not a team thrown together from the Palo Alto Bernie caucus.

That would definitely get mentioned on Broadcast News.

I’m just glad Luka Doncic wasn’t subjected to this organization.

27 seasons (over half of the Super Bowl Era) of Favre or Rodgers and only two rings to show for it.
