    Naheem McLeod | NoDestination

    Mellow Jonah Hill is a good interviewer. Naheem is an interesting guy. I loved the tough guy persona about people scoring on him but the not wanting to play in the NIT made me cringe. I understand it but still tough from a competitive standpoint to hear people say no to playing ball.

    It has to be attitude. He played well in his two starts but played poorly in training camp. I drafted him higher than his overall worth so I can ‘steal’ steals category but I can’t keep him around if they are going to treat him as an AAAA player. I picked up Gavin Williams solely on your...

    Let me know if anyone is interested in Jackson Holliday. Love to continue to stash him but with the shortened benches I can’t keep two guys around who are in minors (Ruiz? I mean what the heck are the A’s doing)

    Move over NIT, another post season tourney is here

    My slightly educated guess: Saudi backed fund starts a post season tourney outside NCAA realm to potentially compete for BCS and NCAA Tourney. Higher education loves money and loves to dream of sports being self funded so they’ll have to weigh the optics if it ever comes to fruition.

    New Assistant

    Bobby Jordan - Wagner Assistant (Bruiser Flint disciple with Philly connections and head coaching experience for top prep schools). Not a AAU guy though.

    Random plays that stick with you

    Every time I see someone do an ‘X’ after a nice play or shot, I immediately think this person sucks. Thank you Carl Krauser. Anytime I see my kid get in the other face of my other kid, and the instigator kid whines/cries after retaliation then I think ‘oh lovely I created an Aaron Craft’.

    Spring roster is up

    Awesome. My reign as President of Kadin Bailey fan club continues. Hopefully he’s recovered from his season ending injury. I also has no idea that Derek McDonald was that large. Either that’s roster rounding or he’s got NFL measurables.

    Welp. I was Syracuse basketball of fantasy. Had multiple opportunities to hammer teams but never won by more than two-three. When I lost, it was usually a blaze of glory butt whoooping. If it was H2H I’d have been 13-7. Fun league, good luck to everyone.

    Benny Williams transferring to UCF

    My guess: ends up at Seton Hall but wants to go to Georgetown but they have bigger fish to fry for a one year loaner.

    Standings are close and Week 29 for me is lining up to be a dumpster fire. Think I’ll take that zeros instead of exceeding transfer limits based on the slate of matches. Not sure I could bet positive return. Played my free week early in the season without any thought/strategy.

    2023-24 Coaching Carousel

    Agree but there has to be more to the story - aka the AD told her she needed to win the conference tourney or you are out after the season. AD’s tend to be thorough with terminations with contracts that aren’t due to shenanigans. I’m leaning towards the coach spin based on that four season...

    Formula 1 - 2024 Season

    Another snooze fest. Bearman ran well. Mercedes never competed. Ferrari has a pretty darn good car this year. Fastest lap today and I suspect they’ll get 2-3 victories this year. Geri Halliwell standing by her man was surprising especially in light of Verstappen dad’s comments.

    Formula 1 - 2024 Season

    Hamilton was driving like an idiot in p2 (albeit his spotters should have helped him). Also I wonder how long Williams will deal with Sargent when Albon keeps competing. I was a bit surprised he made it to F24.

    Saw TBC brass band ant Spotted Cat about 13 years ago and they killed it. Also saw Kermit - Rebirth Brass Band at Maple Leaf but like I said it was years ago. I’ve now seen them in five different cities when they are on tour. I did a bike food tour that went all around the city. Wife and I...

    OT: Paul Johnson on Geoff Collins

    I’d like to know what college coach ran the triple option formation during their game. Screams Brian Kelly level of pettiness to me. Tale old as time to blame predecessor for mistakes and also for the predecessor to take a defensive/counterattack position. The only reason this is an...

    All time favorite player team

    10 years and it’s interesting how my brain has changed. I’d remove Kristoff for Wallace. Rautins for Triche. I just think Triche was criminally underrated on both ends and was a proven winner. His demeanor or lack their of, was a turn off for me as I always played sports with emotion. Now I...

    Cunha being out for a while and Hwang being gtd is brutal for my Wolves chances of moving into top 8. Also may not help a few of you guys who have them on your team. This double week followed by a no game week for squads is going to make decisions interesting.

    Damien Alford Grad Transferring to Utah

    I thought he blocked well during his time here. Best of luck to him in his future endeavors. I know it’s Alford and not Alfred but I always imagined Michael Caine running the routes.

    Man gbo is giving me the business. I looked and I’d be winning about 6+ categories on any team this week other than his… but down 1-8. Need some GTDs to put some work in this weekend.

    Ah that was me being too aggressive. Figured everyone would put a claim on him. Picked him up off waivers on the day a trade was accepted and selected him as the drop. He proceeds to go offfff last week which isn’t surprising for points but he was stuffing the stat sheet… and is continuing the...

    I changed after dropped down to fourth in the standings. I don’t mind eating points for new players which I previously avoided. I actually enjoy Haaland and Salah being out as it makes our rosters much more diverse week to week.

    Giannis is much more valuable in Fantasy. Top 10 with potential to be top 5 guy. Curry is also taking more off days due to age. Top 20 guy. Siakam while really good in the last half of this season will have his usage go down once Halliburton returns and they spread it with him and Turner. I’d...

    If you could add 1 ACC player to the roster, who would it be?

    DJ Burns, or Ian Schiefflelin. I don’t see an immediate need for a true center if we aren’t playing zone. Tough big guys who can move, defend, pass and play with high IQ. Good glue guys who make others around them better.

    Injuries and rest days are wreaking havoc on my team and I assume others. Blow outs too around the NBA. Silver better hope they start playing more consistently after the Super Bowl as people will be hungry for action. Being on the west coast I’ll say whoever has Clippers players will do well...

    Clearly I would trade almost anyone, and I wouldn’t purposely veto a trade ever. It’s fantasy and not for money let alone big money. You want to be the Oakland A’s then go for it, perhaps you strike gold and patch together a Rays like team. If I ever did accidentally veto a trade then the...

    Amen. I’ll be at the game and want the Bills to win but also not get banged up. That’s easier with Staley as coach because they are charmin soft.

    Shohei Ohtani signs with ????

    I still think Dodgers and Mets make the most sense from a player and team perspective. Only dark horse team I could think of is Rangers who love throwing around big money randomly. They have an aging staff and full OF but who knows with Chris Young running the show.

    QB for next year?

    2023 All-ACC Team

    I thought Barron was very good this year in the games I was able to watch. Thought he may get second team. Having a club for an arm for at least four games probably didn’t help.

    Completely agree. After the presser he was the one that I immediately thought about. Checks every box and also called Syracuse his dream school but couldn’t afford it (Newhouse).

    Conf Championship week

    Uga Michigan OSU Oregon UW has not played well this month although Bralen Trice is an absolute animal. I like Oregon. FSU while deserving will get leapt. They won’t be able to help themselves and put OSU v UM in there. The rest will take care of itself during championship week.

    JJ’s comparison (he’s on our bench)

    He’s better than griff and he’s still young. He reminds me of Gbinije. Just need to get him to R-SR Gbinjie by January for this team to be NCAA caliber.

    Dino turned down coaching the final game.

    Clearly in the minority but I commend him for stepping aside as a lame duck and letting another coach be able to get an audition(s, if we bowl) for their next job.
