    Massively Off Topic - Bidets

    Yeah, TMI for sure but that's my biggest question. How often are you getting your hand involved? Is the standard two rinses then done ? - Maybe a post bidet test wipe with toilet paper and then you have a decision to make? Seems like there should be a mirror or camera feature so that you can...

    Reibe and Furphy at FIBA U19s

    Saw most of 2nd half on my phone. Reibe had a good bucket on strong inside finishing move and Furphy a mix of a made 3 and drive and a few missed drives/three's as AUS' frantic comeback fell short. Would say that both looked solid not spectacular competing in high level game. If had to blindly...

    Did the C's make mistake not drafting McNeeley

    That's my point, Stephens drafts Spanish athleticism, but passed on AJax athleticism due to shooting. A legit reason for sure with respect to AJax. But notwithstanding limited playing time this year and bad shooting I've heard (on a draft reaction podcast I think?!) historically Hugu is a high...

    Reibe and Furphy at FIBA U19s

    I can't believe people are arguing over plus/minus for a single game?! And a FIBA game at that. I thought we'd long got over the fact that this is a very indirect stat and much more a product of who you are playing with and against vs how you performed.

    Did the C's make mistake not drafting McNeeley

    What's weird is the guy the Celtics drafted Hugo seems like a Spanish AJax. Energy, hustle, size and athleticism but not great shooting. The Celts did have some very good Ray Allen years and the last couple good years of Kemba's career, but I've given up hope for them ever drafting a UConn...

    OT: Lakers $10B sale question

    The Mavs winning the lottery after trading Luka is the only thing on your list that smells of conspiracy to me. What is the conspiracy exactly? Does Marc Cuban or other Dallas owners get a cut of the Lakers sale?! That'd be tough to hide. The NBA orchestrated all of this to generate interest...

    House v. NCAA settlement approved: Landmark decision opens door for revenue sharing in college athletics

    Not sure I understand, isn't all we are talking about the new legislation and how it impacts everything going forward? The article huskymedic links that is mostly about BC also highlights the problem but in a different way (all BC major sport teams suck). The UConn conundrum is that the women's...

    House v. NCAA settlement approved: Landmark decision opens door for revenue sharing in college athletics

    My understanding of the new rules/law is that there is a separate special committee that approves every NIL deal. So as I And you said if the deals are legit that’s fine but in theory they are all now scrutinized.

    House v. NCAA settlement approved: Landmark decision opens door for revenue sharing in college athletics

    That’s good if true and those deals are legit and will be approved by the official NIL collective. I don’t follow it (eg Paige’s deals though I think I read a headline that she was getting as much NIL money as any college athlete) but generally there is the feeling that lots of the NIL is...

    What's the best sporting event/game you ever attended

    2013 ALCS Fenway Park I was at Game 2, Sox had lost game 1 at Fenway so this was a 'must-win'. Max Scherzer (won Cy Young that year 21-3 record, 0.97 WHIP was DOMINANT) pitched for Tigers. The Sox were shutout in the game 1 loss and looked even more anemic as Scherzer held them hitless thru 5...

    House v. NCAA settlement approved: Landmark decision opens door for revenue sharing in college athletics

    From reading the article/decision it seems like 'losers' will also be schools with big football and basketball programs AND any school that features a top echelon women's hoop team. My read is there's roughly $20.5M to allocate to major sports. So it could be that say at Florida it'll be tough...

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    This would have made for better basketball if Curry, LeBron or other 35+ yr olds were prominently involved.

    Hurley has touted Jayden Ross for two years. Can the UConn junior expand his role?

    I think he's got a double leap potential and great to hear that he's addressing the mental aspect. We've seen glimpses of the athleticism in games, yet its translated to making one acrobatic layup or unexpected block. It absolutely sounds like Ross impacts scrimmages with much more frequency...

    NBA Finals: OKC v Indiana

    Yes, that shot floored me - it was simply D-I-R-T-Y. I go back and forth when I'm watching the Pacers thinking Nembhard is their 3rd best player, then Nesmith, then Nembhard etc...

    Tom Thibodeau is out as head coach of the Knicks (Merged threads)

    That’s the point, with essentially no Porzingis, comprised/injured Brown & Holiday plus no Hauser the Celtics team that took the court v Knicks was worse than perceived or on paper.
