Re: NBA draft

Seems like common sense. Especially if LeBron is going to be a package deal. Two way contracts have limitations and restrictions. They are looking for a team to develop Bronny. And in return they get a few years of LeBron. They don't want Bronny thrown to the wolves in the g league where very littl...

Re: F the NCAA

Country club sport families were certainly beneficiaries of the old system, and this is another example of something that's going to be a LOT messier and bloodier to solve because the NCAA fought the tide (for so long) instead of riding the wave. I know you didn't intend it this way, but this is to...

Re: NBA draft

OK i retract my statements about bronny being a good kid and not deserving all the hate/criticism. Bronny is now refusing to sign a 2 way contract and play in the g league https://www.instagram.com/p/C7XCHf8xHxH/?igsh=MW90NmI1bTZ4MjR6ZQ== Seems like common sense.

Re: F the NCAA

just cut all sports not named football and mens basketball. and call it a day. I don't like it, but yes, there will have to be cuts to, or a different way to fund, non-revenue sports.

Re: 2024 CBB Offseason

I'm putting this in this thread, and not the other one , because it's only related at 40,000 feet. I would not AT ALL mind seeing college basketball explore a more English/European soccer format, where there are multiple threads in play somewhat concurrently. For example, I'm imagining the existence...

Re: Royals

It’s so goofy that the stadium there is so bad. It's really not a part of the country that makes sense for pro baseball, for a lot of reasons. yeah i know those things, but it's still goofy. Goofy as hell - but I think the goofiness (and the protracted fantasyland proposals over time, including spl...

Re: serve and protect

Sturgeon, Missouri, residents are speaking out about safety after a Sturgeon Police Department officer shot and killed a 13-pound blind Shih Tzu mix. Maybe the dog dragged him 30' with his car and tore the officer's pants? What, exactly, are we doing here? Louisville Police Have Very Little To Say ...

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

cult The price of admission is your soul, and some bootlicking of course. When people talking about needing to take money out of politics, this is, broadly, sort of the point. It's one thing to have actual public-service principles that are disagreeable. It's quite another to have none whatsoever.

Ugh, I just had a sinking thought - watch Alito recuse himself from the immunity case *now* as a means of giving Roberts a fake reason to hold a new round of oral arguments or something else that knifes the possibility of a Chutkan trial before November. With a bonus opportunity for Roberts to prete...

I was with, last night, the Trumper with whom I’m closest. He knows that we have wildly differing views on these things.

Re: F the NCAA

no, it wasn't the choice of the schools it was a lost court battle In a narrow sense, yes this was an emergency settlement that the NCAA agreed to to stop the bleeding. But in a broader sense, yes absolutely it was a choice to fight the tide until it washed over them. There were decades of opportun...

Re: F the NCAA

Part of me wonders if this isn't at least partly so the schools/ncaa can take back some control over the money to ensure they're getting "their fair share" of these NIL dollars that they currently get none of. I'll be curious to see what the stipulations are that they impose when they sta...
