True, but NO is also wasting that Generational talent. Also, AD has been hurt every single year of his career, and big men with major injury history don’t always have the longest careers. I wonder if AD will utimately turn into Marcus Camby, or Jermaine O’neal. Both really good players, who never really reached their…

Boston would be a great option. They could send Smart, Olynk and a first rounder or two, and maybe have to throw in another player to make the $$ work (maybe avery bradley instead of Smart). Really this is the move both teams should be making, Although AD is awesome, NO is not, and they likely won’t be for at least…
Gottlieb’s CBS sports minutes (I listen to the Score out of Chicago, not sure that they do these nationwide) are the worst thing ever. He never, ever, ever, ever, has anything remotely insightful to talk about. Even when he is talking about basketball, which is supposedly what he is good at talking about (P.S., he’s…
I was totally about to give you a “GTFOH with Allen Houston”. BUT he was a career 40% 3 pt shooter and actually has a higher 3pt % than Ray allen, although both are about 2 1/2 % lower career than Kyle Korver,
Honestly, you could do worse than Kyle Korver too. Although, I totally agree on Allen, one of the smoothest shooters ever.
But were they scrappy white people, who really put forth maximum effort to make up for a lack of athleticism. I mean they must’ve been able to shoot for hours because of their motor than never quits. They are probably very cerebral about their shooting too. They really know how to create space, despite not being able…
Honest question. What is an acceptable level of payment for players. How do you pay redshirt players compared to starters? What about walk on’s, or are only scholarship players paid? Is minimum wage acceptable, or straight free market get paid anything?
They spend that money with or without the coaching money. It’s to lure recruits (I mean facilities is everything at most big universities now. Paying players would have no effect on coaching salaries at major schools. Also, outside of the Top of the Power 5 schools, most schools are not flush with cash, and often…
I wouldn’t count on it. Iowa isn’t exactly a hot bed for recruits. I bet a middling coach is good for an average of 5-6 wins a year, so I bet Ferentz is more like a 1.5 War. Interesting, though, cause OSU was really pretty decent before Urban, so I think Urban is probably only a 2 war at OSU.
Honestly, Do some research, and you will find that the schools that actually charge the most money for regular students to support athletics are much smaller D-1 schools (think like the Kent states of the world) and Schools like Bama charge relatively little per student for athletic department (a few hundred). Yes…
Honestly, I think Cleveland should go back to the Spiders name. It makes sense with team history, and I’m sure they could come up with some pretty cool uniforms/logo’s if the do it correctly (But it’s cleveland, so they would probably screw it up)
Actually he was supposed to be an elite talent, who wasted it because he couldn’t stop getting entirely wasted all the time, and yes hurt himself because of it, tried to come back and play, and was never the same.
Good point. The GSW have 2 issues that I can forsee becoming a problem however (similar to the problems the heat faced in Lebrons first season there). They lack decent big men, and they lack team depth.
While this is a very interesting article, the NFL (and MLB and other high profile professions) are at a difficult juncture. If they hand out mandatory counseling, and a paid suspension, people say they are sending the wrong message cause they are getting paid. If they let them play, and leave legal issues to the…
Can you please stop dragging the Cubs into the Political beliefs of Joe Ricketts.
Joe ricketts has absolutely nothing to do with running the Cubs. Yes he is a part of the family that owns the cubs, but the kids (Tom specifically) actually Run the cubs. I wish they would leave the cubs out of the shitty political views of Joe Ricketts.
Yes, but isn’t the point of the House of Rep’s to balance the senate? Which is why bills must go through both houses prior to presidential approval/veto. If both sides of the house were population proportionate, the smaller states would have basically no actual say in government. I think in large population cities,…
Cubs fans largely had unrealistic Offensive expectations for Heyward based off his “career” year in St. Louis last year, but this year is also a career year, just in the opposite direction. I expect much more of a return to the mean next year when the pressure is off a litle bit more.
Part of the “bust” nonsense was that the Cubs brought in Soler, Russel, Bryant, and Schwarber basically together (I know Soler was earlier, but close enough). It really took the shine off of Almora and Baez, but people always forget how young they are. Almora could be one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball,…
