10 goals in 2 periods between Minny and Colorado.

Colorado's defense is looking suspect, again.

Well hats off to Toronto, this will sound insulting but it isn’t…they don’t know how bad they are. They just play hard and keep banging, have to respect that.

They are French adjacent and represent a failed terror state.

Fuck Canada.

“Project Hail Mary.” Really outstanding movie. 9/10

It would be an interesting development but I think the odds are low.

The way the NFL has to reach for QB’s is a significant factor. I just don’t see him being drafted outside the first round unless he simply craters or, woody forbid, has a season stealing injury.

Toilet was leaking from the tank to the bowl. Bought a new flapper, still leaks. Bought the whole shebang, a new kit, replaced the flush valve, fill valve, new flapper, gaskets... still leaks. May need a new toilet.

Or UFM hiring wedding party guys to manage key parts of his football team (LBs, and Wrs)....guess the solution is to hire ex-Buckeye players to be position coaches.....

I mean they’re starting to establish a pretty nice track record.

Swept and Cubs sweep AZ. Awesome

Ladies take 2/3 from a ranked Wash squad...not too shabby

Well that's an unexpected surprise. Sitting at 24-21 now...not bad Coach Haire

Stanford upset the #11 Texas A&M in our quarter of the bracket

Unseeded Pepperdine with the biggest upset of the weekend as they took down #7 LSU, 4-3.

Watched the last half of 76ers-Celtics... and now feel a bit better about the Cavs games
Celtics literally bulled directly into their defenders who had feet planted.. then pushed off with the forearm to gain space.. no calls
same thing Toronto is doing to Cavs and same no calls.. guess it's playoff time

Embid is beat to shit.. would not be surprised if he does not make it thru the next round.. even with the flopping.. it was a war down low
He's a major load.. huge dude who can shoot.. Cavs would have no answer for him.. too strong..

Don’t worry, they won’t have an answer for Brunson either, and that’s if they even make it past tonight.

I don’t fully agree.

I do think that he’s been given a lot more leeway than most, in that regard you’re spot on. Particularly early in his career when he went from the NFL to the SEC to USC.

But he got left on the tarmac at USC, a verb for being fired immediately was created because of what Haden did to him. He did not emerge from that whole incident “sparkly clean” imo.

Then he became an OC, did well at that position (helping bama win the conference 3x and a national title once while completely updating Saban’s offensive philosophy), coached at FAU (where he was successful), and then he had success at Ole Miss given their history and expectations.

He did not “fail upwards” from Bama onwards (though he did not leave graciously at any of those stops besides FAU), but he moved up the ladder through on field success despite some (alleged) off field shenanigans that only seemed to come out from Tuscaloser and Oxfart after he left those Hell holes. Maybe those accusations are true but the fans were willing to overlook them because he was producing results on the field.

None of that guarantees that he will succeed in BR. And I wouldn’t be surprised that if he does fail here someone else will give him an opportunity because as you mentioned people just seem to keep giving him chances throughout his career, whether warranted or not.

The Fab 5...Harbaugh and the cheating...the hockey coach...Juwanna. Sharonna was just the latest in a line.

Certainly not sustainable on a 'top-flight' 36 varsity sports, AND have A-1 playing fields/courts/pitches/ etc to put them on. I'm used to big numbers, and tOSU's numbers are among the highest, but do worry about the debt being accumulated by the Athletic Department. Cost of Construction is hugemongous, and the debt incurred is also huge. But the facility competition is very keen, and unless you've got a golden goose like Oregon, hard to sustain. Hope the AD is using some of this almost $100million to reduce debt. Pay down construction debt and lower interest payments. Anybody out there do that with household funds? Anyway, glad am not the ones having to figure out where this goes. Also assumes that the academic side of the Buckeye house is keeping distant from all the loot in the AD department.

A couple things I see that will put pressure on the current system:

1. Smaller schools will get fed up with losing their investment when a player transfers and ask for compensation.
2. Whatever organization is trying to oversee football will want a resolution and end to the non-stop lawsuits. Today it is uncontrollable due to all the court cases.

There may be other solutions, but the one that jumps out to me is a collective bargaining agreement. The players would need to organize and have a collective representation to negotiate for them.

I think that's one of the biggest issues. Making sure the smaller schools are actually incentivized to develop guys, despite knowing they will likely lose any significant quality to a bigger school within a 1-3 year period.

Transfer fees.

Good, fairly short read. Honestly, if you’ve seen the film “13 Days” based on this, you don’t really need to read the book. That’s a great flick, btw.

2025 Grand Cherokee. Definitely a smoother ride than the Ranglar it replaced.
