    Temple to review reports of unusual wagering on UAB game

    Data science is going to make this kind of cheating nearly impossible to get away with. You’d have to be pretty stupid or desperate to try it. Any anomaly in the size or frequency of bets on a particular game, team or games called by a particular ref would be detected immediately. The gambling...

    Leaving the next year is my life up to a boneyard poll

    If you're considering turning it down, counter offer instead as someone mentioned already. People in general don't do a great job negotiating for their salary. They undoubtedly have a range that they're willing to pay for the position. You have to get near the top of that range, especially if...

    Gerritt Cole

    MLB is about to drop the hammer on doctoring balls and Cole just stumbled into becoming the face of it. Guessing MLB has decided that this is the one thing they can change to juice up the hitting a bit and lower the strikeouts. My guess is that we start to see a decent drop in spin rates once...

    The Big Texan 72 Oz. Steak challenge..... live stream

    I’m new to this so I may be out there on this but if you’re going to just tear meat off the bone without cutting it, why bother with the fork? Just go all in and use your hands.

    The end for Will Wade (maybe Sean Miller too)?

    They're not even scared of the NCAA anymore. Just a few years ago Wade would have been fired as soon as these charges came out. I fully expect the SEC will shelter LSU from any real penalty. Nothing to see here...

    OT: It Was Real Popular, but....Twas Never a Big Fav of Mine....!

    I feel bad putting this here as this song is the most annoying song ever written. In my defense, you asked for it.

    Knee replacement surgery

    I didn't have that passive motion machine either. I did both knees at once so I was actually in the hospital for 3 day and spent 5 at a rehab place before they'd let me go home. I had no way to do stairs so going home wasn't much of an option. It seems like it's gotten much easier in just a few...

    Knee replacement surgery

    I did both of mine at the same time 8 years ago. It was a total life changer, wish I had done it 5 years earlier. I don’t even think about my knees anymore. I never thought I’d say that. I took 2 months off because I had short term disability that paid me after the first 3 weeks off. I think...

    New Andre Jackson highlights

    He really does seem to be the complete package. The athleticism, handle and court vision really stand out.

    OT: CA Moves Forward with Bill Allowing Student Athletes to Profit from Name & Likeness

    The argument that players are being paid because they're getting free tuition is beyond ridiculous. This is a capitalist country, capping how much money a person can make based on the tuition of a particular school is not how capitalism is supposed to work. A lot of these players are worth...

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    Yeah, no. She kicked her leg out sideways, that’s why Sauerbrun made contact with her. If her leg goes straight back that doesn’t happen. Thanks for the dismissive response though. I never questioned intent, my question is about who created the contact. Her awkward kick seemed to do that which...

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    They did show an angle that made it clear that the US defender made contact with her leg. I don’t know soccer rules well enough to understand the call. It also seemed clear that the contact was caused by White who had to bring her leg back at an odd angle because the pass was a bit behind her...

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    Thanks for taking the time to explain that.They also changed the goal to an own goal, the defender got a toe on it.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    That was a great goal. I don’t understand soccer rules as well as I wish I did. It seems to me that we were offside. I don’t know what the problem was. She was clearly offside and drew 2 defenders. She didn’t touch the ball but I didn’t think that was necessary to be offsides.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    Disagree if you like, they benched a lot of their starters. If they really wanted to win the game they wouldn’t have done that.

    OT: WWC (Soccer) Thread

    Kind of disappointed, Sweden is obviously more scared of France than the US. Hard to get too excited about a game that your opponent isn't trying to win.

    Beer

    Finally made my way out to Treehouse yesterday. I got a bunch of different things. I was surprised to find they had King Julius available though I was only allowed to buy 2. I had the first of the 2 yesterday and have to say it was awesome. I'll be making thru the rest of my haul in the coming...

    OT - Magic Johnson Resigns as Lakers President

    Lonzo Ball is not a big trade chip. He's just another guy at this point. Ingram is an interesting player, he might get the Lakers something. I don't see the Lakers as a dumpster fire though. The roster is clear of bad contracts and they have a ton of flexibility. They could turn it around...

    Knee replacement

    I had bilateral knee replacements about 5 years ago, best thing I ever did. I put it off way too long, within a month or so , the pain was less than I was in before the surgery. The decision to do both came down to not wanting to go back in to do the other leg after I just started feeling human...

    Noticing the obvious (WNBA)

    I happen to be a fan of women's basketball and the NBA. The NBA game has opened up and skill players are able to dominate again. As for fundamentals, the NBA game is all about the pick and roll game and motion offenses at the moment. If you can't operate and defend against the pick and roll you...

    OT James Harrison to Pats

    I’m a lifelong Steelers fan and have watched James his whole career. Pretty much everyone is overrating this guy. He’s been inactive most of the season while some really average guys have been active. There isn’t much left in this guys tank. Prepare to be underwhelmed. You can count on 1 finger...

    NCAA: Committee on Infractions could not conclude UNC violated NCAA rules

    The NCAA is hanging onto its existence by a thread. The P5 conferences and their teams run the NCAA, not the other way around. This whole sham is just a reflection of that reality.
