    I feel like they have let the foot off the gas all year. Giannis is 63rd in the league in minutes played per game. Middleton is 90th. Edit: well not exactly 63rd and 90th. Bball reference doesn't take ties into account in their rankings but point remains. Bucks two all stars don't play as much as most other guys

    Packers have drafted plenty of receivers....none have planned out. Curious how Brown comes back from injury. He seemed decent. Lazard seems like a really nice three or four guy.

    Or Deebo Samuel...

    Houston Astros cheating news gets worse and worse. MLB: look over here! Look over here! Dumb playoff stuff!

    When you meet someone that says they are a "huge fan of X team" and you reference a rising prospect for X team that has actually played in the bigs a little and that person has no idea who you are talking about.

    Speaking of Knight, anyone see his appearance at the IU game over the weekend? He looks like he doesn't have much time left. Also, I'm not sure he was faking it with Vitale.
  7. homer
    I realize people are still focused on that Toronto series from last year but it's going to take some team getting ridiculously hot from three, Giannis sucking, and no one else playing well for the Bucks to lose a seven game series.

    Pretty good summary with quotes from Kobe King: https://madison.com/wsj/sports/college/basketball/men/erik-helland-strength-and-conditioning-coach-for-badgers-men-s/article_f3685e76-d957-586e-98ae-3d9de88ee013.html#tracking-source=home-breaking

    The strength coach is on paid administrative leave. It could be a coincidence but then again....timing. FWIW, he worked in the NBA for 25 years.

    Dodgers can work under it because they've drafted really well and have a number of cheap players to replace the expensive ones....which they trade off for more cheap and useful prospects.

    Iowa held Purdue to 61 points....in the first half.

    It really cuts both ways, though. Most World Series champions have these ridiculous contracts. The Red Sox have won 2 in the past 7 years. The Dodgers have plenty of these massive contracts and have been to basically every WS for the NL recently. The Nats just won with Scherzer, Corbin, Strasburg...yeah, they passed on Harper and later Rendon, but they're not there without those 3 massive contract pitcher prices. So unless you expect owners to start pushing $400-500 million payrolls, it is working out exactly as it should. The big markets spend big bucks to take a shot at titles, knowing that Jacoby Ellsbury and Nate Eovaldi may be literally useless contract players or shells of their former selves at some point in said contracts. When they reach a point like the Red Sox and Cubs have of, "oh, we are already at the luxury tax, we won 84 games last year, and we have no farm system. Let's not just sign our entire roster back/add to it so that we can have a $300 million payroll of 34-year-old vets" they hit the reset button. Most fans aren't sitting and looking at cot's baseball contracts so they don't really have a grasp on this, but it's probably the right thing to do unless you expect most or all of these teams to go to $400+ million. Well yeah but they had already won their two titles when they extended Sale and Eovaldi. The time to cut bait on those guys was before last season.

    If anyone wants a case study on the potential pratfalls of signing big time free agents to long term deals, look no further than the Red Sox. Signing Sale, Eovaldi, and Price forced their hand on this one. That Sale contract is going to look really bad in just a year or two. Maybe even this year. Who knows? Maybe they jettison Devers and Sale in order to get rid of his contract.
  14. homer
    I bet they make an offer that seems huge but will end up getting dwarfed by what he actually receives.
  15. homer
    I wouldn't be. I'd be resting on my 4 world series championships in 16 years and trust in the team to make good choices. If the Red Sox want to do a 1 year rebuild this is the perfect way for them to do it. They may be down a bit in 2020 but the team will be better in 2021+ for it. I don't feel sorry for them. I'm glad the city of Boston is on the downslope in terms of pro sports. If I was them, I'd be ticked though.
  16. homer
    I would be ticked if I was a Red Sox fan.
  17. homer
    Looks like it's this: Red Sox get: OF Alex Verdugo, IF Jeter Downs, C Connor Wong Dodgers get: OF Mookie Betts, LHP David Price, cash In the other deal: Twins get: RHP Kenta Maeda Dodgers get Graterol The Dodgers will include $10 million in the trade and get the Twins’ Competitive Balance B (67th overall) pick in 2020 The clubs also will swap two other prospects. The Twins will send outfielder Luke Raley — whom they received from the Dodgers as part of the Brian Dozier trade in July 2018 — back to his original organization. The player the Twins will receive has not been announced.

    D'antoni resigns today. I'm guessing it was all planned. GEt your 4.3 mil and resign. They don't have to 'fire' him and owe the rest of the contract, he doesn't have to deal with PR of being fired. Probably seems like a good compromise overall. Probably would've made sense to wait until after signing day, but maybe they're not in on anybody left so it doesn't matter. And like a day before signing day too. Feel bad for those recruits. Sports radio here reporting he chose to step down rather than be fired.

    Welcome aboard!

    Maybe cable lets you go month to month now but I hated getting locked into a contract and then having to call and negotiate the rate every time the 12 month deal expired. I can see the advantages of having all your "stuff" with one company but it just wasn't for us.
  21. homer
    Always been my argument as well. Seems like a lot of screwing around for minimal savings. Now the equation changes if you get extremely cheap internet, do illegal things and/or don't want very many channels to watch. That's the rub for a lot of people. You end up paying for a bunch of channels you never use which is why I've never taken the leap with YouTube TV or Sling or any of the "live" TV options. And it's also possible that the increased competition from the streaming services has forced the cable companies to improve things on their end.

    They didn't get to throw downfield much. I know halftime interview Reid said SF took that away from them.
  23. homer
    Who is saying the refs were paid?
  24. homer
    I think every major streaming service has a free trial so it might be worth your while to just sign up for one and see if you like it then cancel and try another one. I was able to watch every Packer game this year by switching services three times (I get a lot of the games on local TV here in Chicago). One great thing about most of them is you can go month to month, cancel, and then re-up later on. A few years ago I got Sling for the NFL season, canceled it in January, and then re-upped for March madness and canceled it again after it was over.

    Re: Smack to the helmet They called in the grasp so technically the play was dead before that happened. Also, they missed one on Mahomes earlier so call it a wash.
