Honestly, I think really the only restriction they have to lift is the improper benefits. Why does it matter if some booster pays a player, or if a player can get paid to sign autographs, or have a fake job somewhere? That should be enough, as the players who probably could/should get extra would, and it wouldn’t…

Not Necessarily. If he chose to play in the D-league, and tore it up, he wouldn’t have dropped at all. Honestly, I don’t disagree with him, and the entire system is flawed, as the last couple of years there have been like 40-50 freshman enter the NBA draft, and usually at least 20 go undrafted, and rarely make an…

I would be more concerned if it wasn’t for the day of rest between games 5 and 6. He’s thrown 63 pitches in 3 days at this point. No big deal. Chapman is a horse, and he’s plenty capable of pitching 2 more innings tonight.

Not necessarily true. Chapman threw 83 pitches in 4 days (3 appearances) earlier in the season. Granted, not the same amount of high pressure situation. Frankly, the Cubs aren’t worried about anything other than getting to game seven, and tonight they won’t be worried about anything other than winning (same with…

I think this is the biggest issue. A sense of Community, and just general common decency seems to be lacking in many areas. We are more connected to people via social media/internet, but also less connected to the real people around us. I’m just as guilty of it. I know like 3 of my neighbors where I’ve lived for like…

Honest question. Are there really any people who don’t acknowledge racism still exists. I mean we have an openly racist person running for president, we have BLM, and the backlash against it, and we have minorities killing cops, and cops killing minorities, and people of all races killing people of all races. I think…

I think you might want to actually research autism. Many kids diagnosed with autism are very intelligent in many areas, but lack in others greatly. Often lacking social skills, or a major educational skill (Like realy strong in math, but really weak in reading comprehension). But Autism does cover a REALLY large…

Ray Allen was great. No doubt in my mind he should be a HOF’er. He also has a lower career 3pt % than Allen Houston. He shot more, so that matters, but I think that if you really want to talk about a player who should’ve been playing in today era, and was for sure a forerunner to this era, it’s Reggie Miller. Allen…

Eh... To be fair, the usually sign the past their prime former stars as Free agents, and not trades (Rollins, Morneau, Latos, Dunn, Laroche....all free agents). I believe the trades were for Frazier (decent I guess) Eaton....eh.. And I think that is it. Really they don’t make Terrible trades. Dispite the fact that…

The problem with Jay is that he doesn’t “care” about the fans (during interviews). The national media runs with the narrative, cause it’s easy. Teammates talk about the fact he is a good teammate. He a decent QB (not top 10, but he’s never been in the bottom 10 in the NFL any given year). Lovie screwed him in the…

I understand this take, but when you look around at the contracts handed out, he got the same deal as Tony Romo, Stafford and Kaepernick (essentially). He makes the going rate for a decent starting QB in the NFL right now. What skews peoples perception of the contract is the success of other QB’s who make less cause…

Man, how do you stay entertained by anything. Do you hate movies cause Johnny Depp is an actor? Do you hate the NFL cause Aaron Hernandez was allowed in it for too long (or Greg harder or whoever, take your pick). Do you have soccer cause Hope Solo was playing (or whatever soccer dude did something terrible (I don’t…

Honest question. You want to shorten games, but you want to increase scoring with corked bats and juiced baseballs. Have you watched baseball? More scoring leads to more pitching changes which leads to more time outs, more visits to the mound and more everything. You want baseball to go quicker... Then enforce the…

I think it’s more about location, and less about what pitch. If there is a cross up in location on a 102 mph fastball, the catcher has little time to adjust. I mean, there was a past ball, and a RIDICULOUS glove save that might’ve saved a run in the same inning. That inning was far from boring. (Full disclosure, I’m a…

What you are ignoring is the Colts have old as dirt Gore as it’s primary RB, and only a bunch of little fast WR’s. Dalton has AJ green, Boyd, and Gio Bernard, and 2 of them can go up and get it, while bernard is a great outlet. Ryan has Julio, who might be the best WR in the game right now (debatable, but he’s in the…

The difference is actually that Romo is/was the face of the cowboys franchise, and Jones I believe is trying to buy time. It’s basically like last season with the Broncos. Manning was done, everyone could see that, and Osweiller was supposed to be the future (and really was playing at least equally as well as Manning…

Get wasted and spell names backwards?

Honestly no. Sure there would be some insufferable cubs fans, BUT there are insufferable cubs fans now. Part of what makes Boston fans insufferable is the Patriots also. It’s like year round non-stop insufferability (I know not a word). Plus add in Simmons and Nolan and that non-stop homerism, and yeah, it’s bad.…

Yes, right now it’s too hot of a take, considering the league still has Curry, Thomson, Durant, Lebron, westbrook, Damien Lillard, Leonard, and several other really good Players. AD is great, and might be a superstar, but until he has 1 totally healthy season, the answer is still no. But the potential is there for him…

I would say 4 first rounders (Including the REALLY VALUABLE nets picks) is too much. The nets picks are basically guaranteed top 5 picks. I would trade 1 nets pick, 1 celtics first, and 2 2nd rounders, plus smart brown, Zeller and Olynk, and I think it would ultimately make both teams better. The celtics have more…
