One of those wins was a blow out vs. Orlando as well. Rooting for The Magic tomorrow so their second round won't begin until Tuesday, at the earliest. Game 6 is in Orlando and the home team has won every game in the series. Another mark in Orlando's favor tomorrow is that Jerrett Allen is a GTD...

Said by me, nowhere. But now that you brought the red herring up, it's absolutely a matter of perspective. I did say that the Jets may have stepped in it by allowing the Vikings to select a potential Rodgers replacement in front of them, but as @ShakyTheMohel mentioned, the Jets are in...

I didn't think you were trolling, nor would I have cared. Nice call on the Saints, at any rate.

Pete Prisco from CBS thinks Fashanu is going to sit for a year as well. I'm sure he'll get worked in and may start if an injury claims their aging free-agent tackles, but that doesn't necessarily sound like a win-now pick either. You were correct with them picking Corley and Travis, but Travis...

What else did the Pats get for trading back 3 slots?

Being a fan of both teams, I am happy they both got their guy and I can root for both of them. I wouldn't have minded if it went vice versa either, but word is that Daniels can start on day 1 and Maye should probably hold a clipboard and wear an ear piece for a few months, if not the season...

I don't think they gifted Maye to NE. Being a fan of both teams, I am happy they both their guy and that I can root for both. Certainly wouldn't have minded if they went vice versa either. Seem like WSH think Daniels has the higher floor and can come in and start right away. After 20+ years of...

The Jets could have taken Rodgers' heir apparent. So in that regard, they may have blown it. OTOH, who knows what the Jets will look like in 2025 in terms of head coach, QB coach, OC, etc? Any QB going to the Jets this year has a legit chance to blow up, and not in a good way with multiple...

Belichick ran the Patriots war room for 20+ years, and pretty much unilaterally, after Scott Pioli went to Kansas City. He's no longer there there. The Patriots' front office braintrust is nearly completely different. Counting on the Patriots to blow it this year is like betting on black when...

Oh please!! First of all, they didn't play Duke (Impossible, given as Laettner was on The Dream Team) or UNLV as a single team. It was a collection of lottery picks. Second, it is a thinly veiled fact that Chuck Daly threw the first game vs the College All-Stars in order to bond the team...

Neither Alabama, nor Georgia are beating the Jets (or Panthers) either...ever.

AAA baseball is pretty high level competition. The largest AAA ballpark in terms of capacity is home to the Buffalo Bison. They draw about 7,000, which comprises about 44% of the seating area, and less than 1/2 of the poorest drawing MLB team (outside Oakland, whose fans are protesting), at far...

Irrelevant. For one thing, the 1980 USA hockey team was not a squad of individual All-Stars, per se, The players invited to camp were selected specifically to engineer a team to beat the Soviets at that specific time and place. Brooks also had a nationwide pool of the best individual American...

1 in the late 1st round and 2 in the 2nd...maybe. That also leaves 7 scholarship undrafted free agents. How many NBA teams have that many on their active roster at any given time? I love UConn, but provided the NBA side takes these hypothetical games seriously, UConn get smoked everyday of the...

Personally, I am absolutely sure. College basketball advocates vs. the NBA have the same non arguments as College football vs. The NFL. Regardless of program. Regardless of sport, there are always more pro-ready players on the NBA or NFL team, by virtue of being in the league, than the college...

Looks like Daniels to Washington at #2 and Maye to New England at #3, though I wouldn't mind if they were flip-flopped. Hope for the Giants? Schoen is smarter than Gettleman and the chances are slim, but maybe he wastes their 1st round pick, similar to 2018.

Just saw this and I thought it was pretty funny. Looks like Jones had a few cups from the "green" carafe. Does he see ghosts too when reading defenses like Zach Wilson?

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024). Pretty balanced between nostalgia and the new storyline. It was quite enjoyable, particularly since I saw it in the theatre with my son, but the originals are still the best.

Except for the first, the next one is always the one I want most.

I watched a little before the Elite Eight games on Easter Sunday. It was okay, but lacking because there are no names, promotion, connection to fanbases, or emotion. For as popular as the NFL is, one cannot simply yell, "football!!" and expect people to come running. The NFL is too big, offers...

Why does Vegas put out O/U win totals five months before training camp, and before the Draft or 2nd wave of Free Agency, post Draft? Should have locked in the unders for Buffalo and Miami, but I'd of course give it all back on the over for Washington, who even without a QB have a decent shot at...

It's a very nice minor league park and a great value compared to going to Fenway, Yankee Stadium III, or Citifield. Plus all three of the area franchises have affiliates in the Eastern League, so it's a good place to stay current with one's favorite teams' prospects. The stands are filled with...

1-0

I don't start many threads, but there didn't appear to be a Red Sox thread for the current season. There is now. They finished last year at 78-84, despite being 57-51 and only 2.5 games out of the wild card at the trade deadline. To me, the issue with 2023 actually started in 2019, when they...

Not touching that one (Though I might have just then).

That's a AAA baseball model, of sorts and it will collapse under it's own weight (particularly at the college level), once the most important factor is considered: Money. No one cares if the WooSox win the International League (just like no one cares if the Yard goats win the Eastern League)...

It was a long time ago (35 years or so. Maybe longer), but I remember watching a random game on ESPN between Pitt and UNC. Three things I remember about that game were 1) I watched it at my grandmother's house, just outside of Albany NY, 2) Pitt (who was nowhere near as good, particularly in...

The lead may have been too large to overcome, but it wasn't yet garbage time.

Watching the game be played in Barclays Arena was weird, bordering on uncomfortably dark. Darker than MSG, where stage lighting is also utilized, but MSG seems brighter. I wonder if the darkness affected depth perception, similar to past Final Fours since they started playing in Football...

I guess it was a good thing SDSU didn't play Auburn then.

Sure, UConn by 17, but they were up by 30 and gave up 14 points with the starters on the court.

Ever see the movie, The Lateshift, about how Jay Leno succeeded Johnny Carson and David Letterman wound up at CBS? "They aren't offering you The Johnny Carson Tonight Show. That's gone forever. They're offering you damaged goods. The Jay Leno Show. And they're not even offering it to you now...

About a decade ago, the ACC schools were complicit in destroyed a perfectly viable "Power 6" football conference, locked each member institution in for roughly $30 million/year, for 20 years, locked everyone else out for nothing, with no escalator clause, and now they are crying? Is that about...

At 64-49, UConn in the second half, UConn had two possessions in a row that resembled the '86 Celtics. Just tremendous passing, cutting, and unselfishness.
