I actually agree with this, I don’t think balked in runs should be earned either.

That was my thought as well, hell it is not even an official game yet since the home team was down.

the same for me, give me a first round win so I can get a little celebrating in, and then lose so I can have a nice food half-coma during the superbowl without worrying that I might miss something I care about.

Can’t they play too many games in the PL to be able to finish 7-9.

Hell when I think about the post season I still thing of the Stephon Diggs catch, I cam barely remember the Eagles game happened. NFC championship game loss number six doesn’t even sting, immunity has been built up there.

Favorite are determined by bettors not fans of particular teams. Most if not all Vikings fans knew it was coming.

Dismantling the team would be the worst possible option. I will agree they are not likely to ever win much but good god after a decade plus of being horrible I would rather just be respectably average for a few years before starting from scratch again. Wiggins and KAT an the 8th seed are roughly infinity times better…

Yes regular season games in December is when you use the bench so your starters have more energy for the playoffs, that is why teams will rest starters sometimes for entire games during that stretch. The playoffs is when if you need to you ride your best players into the ground since if you lose they will get all the…

I much prefer sport highlights on TV where there is a lot less effort involved. Online I actually have to figure out what to watch and look for. TV I press two buttons on my remote and Sportscenter will find an hours worth of stuff for me with zero additional effort.

The Cavs might be a bad example to use since they also ended up with the organizations only championship (and the first for the whole city is a damn long time) out of letting LeBron run things.

Depends on when he does it, contracts do vet for the year at week one. so he could do it in say week 3 they still have to pay him for the rest of the year. And well I think if he gets cut even for doing that he would get plenty of offers in the off season.

A top flight title is a top flight title changing the name of the league does not make the old titles non-existent, after all United claims 20 titles and most of those aren’t premier league but they are all top flight.

Not to be that guy but that was their third title though fist since the 60s.

First round has been best of seven for over a decade. (since 2003) So your 3 game prediction is guaranteed to be at least two games off now.

My first thought after reading the headline, good god how bad would he have been if he didn’t use PEDs.

that would be how I would fix the tanking issue as well. Though I wouldn’t put in all thirty just 22, I would exclude anyone who makes it to the second round of the playoffs so you don’t get the champion getting the #1 pick, but middle of the orad teams aren’t punished for squeaking into the playoffs.

Not directly related to the article but this might be the year I decide to hate all Denver sports teams. the Blues vs Avs decided who got the last playoff space in hockey and my team lost, now the Nuggest and T-wolves will play for the last playoff spot in Basketball, if the nuggets win I hope an asteroid hits Denver.

They had to give Wiggins the max, MN is not a place that can attract free agents. Is Wiggins worth the max? Hell no, but he is better than the other options the Wolves would have got for the money.

You had me before the conditional clause at the end.

The Champions league does not have 32 teams it has 79 (this year it does vary depending on which country the previous Europa and CL winners are from). the Champions League does not start at the group stage when it is down to 32 team if you think it does you really don’t know much about soccer.
