If only that opening scene were real life... It still would have been too kind of an end for him.

Big 10 and sec are at the forefront of ruining college athletics. I used to hate UConn as much as any SU fan but I take great satisfaction in seeing a Big East team take a giant dump on these conferences. At this point you have to tip your cap at what they’ve accomplished in the current...

I took in one session of the ACCT at Barclays in Brooklyn in 2017. I hadn't planned to do so but my cousin reached out the day before and asked me if I wanted to go, tickets were as low as $6, and I happened to be off work that day, so we gave it a shot. Place was half empty, we watched SU...

Was at 3 of these 4 games (all but the semis vs Gtown), I went to over 30 Big East tournaments and this was the best one of them all from the SU fan standpoint anyway. And ironically it was arguably the worst regular season SU had during their time in the Big East, finishing at 7-9 and in 9th...

Impressive setting, but yeah the food wasn’t as good as what they were charging for it.

Was there literally at the time the OP started this thread. Stayed in Incline Village on the Nevada side, highly recommend the area. Lone Eagle was overrated. Jake’s on the Lake in Tahoe City a nice American fare eatery we found after a sunset sail out of the nearby marina.

"What happened today goes against everything that is true and right in college football." LMFAO

He was a violent psychopath who routinely assaulted and abused people who couldn’t fight back, and was glorified because he knew a lot about basketball. He avoided accountability over and over for what would have gotten most people arrested. He was a monster and it’s a shame he didn’t get the...

Well at least someone will have a place to park their bicycle.

Seager is a great talent but for a team that has struggled with injuries in recent years, he’d be another guy for the injury pile as he has logged a lot of IL time in his career. Also not sure he’d go for a position switch at this time in his career. You’re right about Volpe though, while...

I doubt most of those people care these days. They were lost as fans long ago and have moved on.

Indeed. I know a few people who had been season ticket holders for several years around that time, and they found that very comment so off-putting that they gave up their season tickets.

The bottom feeders out there insisting that Hamlin is actually dead and this is all a cover up are scrambling to craft some new BS today. Freakshow city.

Red Sox dugout just got cleaned out, this one’s gonna be called soon,

Hold out for the weather control device.

Screw K Go Nova

The glory days! Who could forget the rumble with Providence in the 87 Final 4? Not one suspension, of course the rules on fighting were less established back then if non-existent. The rules of course have changed since then. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bEH_U5IMnEs Fight is at the 43:00...

Glass half-full take--now the kid's last game (most likely) was a win. Getting blown out (quite possibly) in the quarterfinals of a conference tournament for your last game isn't exactly a dream ending to a career.

Fair point—he’s getting tossed by his crew.

I’m far from convinced that this is what’s happening but there are some notable developments. His attachment to Grogu has him doing and feeling things that are at odds with The Way, capped off by removing his helmet which has gotten him ostracized and cast out by the remaining Mandalorians. He...

This was a great watch, a project in terms of viewing time but such an intimate view of legends in action. Despite all their fame and accomplishments they were still so so young when they broke up, all still in their 20s. Took no time at all to despise Yoko Ono. The dynamics on display were...

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion. Admittedly Solo didn’t do anything for me, nor did episodes 7 through 9; don’t have a great opinion of 1 through 3 either. Rogue One I thought was well done, and I’ve certainly enjoyed The Mandalorian as well. I’ve watched Boba Fett with...

Mandalorian > Boba Fett. It figures that the series could get back on track with an episode that was actually a Mandalorian episode. The first two episodes of the season weren't bad, but the introduction of these annoying sci-fi biker kids has been a turn off in episodes 3 and 4.

This was a good watch that tackled this very subject. It's crazy, he has like four lines., but the mystique is undeniable. https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/under-the-helmet-the-legacy-of-boba-fett/2Z7xyRFs1AgJ

Lydon's post is pretty general and could be interpreted a number of ways. There are no doubt a lot of negative words and actions that should be considered out of bounds (things like personal attacks, harassment, trashing players, etc). At the same time, if you want to play a sport in front of...

He sucked this year too though, Gleyber Torres had a better year by comparison.

Some truth to this, and as I touched on earlier, I think Lemahieu's dropoff had a ripple effect to some degree, even pre-sports hernia I don't think he was at 100% for most of the season. But I'd also agree that sometimes it is also just a case of how much goes right (see SF Giants this season)...

There are few if any guarantees when it comes to moves that can improve a team, not to mention so many variables that can offset any improvements made, though we can make informed guesses on what would make it so--that's just a part of having an interest in any team. Things could certainly be a...

Try again next year but Tampa's worst winning % over the last 3 years was .596 in 2019 and they're celebrating their second straight division title, I mean they're doing something very right and I don't think it's just luck. A healthy and resurgent Lemahieu alone could make a world of...

Lotta truth to this. Makes you wonder if winning is not the best recipe for $$$$, perhaps it's merely the entertainment of the HR that sells. Can't blame teams for employing a shift against hitters who are too predictable or stubborn to adapt as opponents break them down. I laugh when I hear...

Don't know if the difference can be fully explained by analytics (or at least I may not be up to it), but Tampa managed to score a lot more runs than the Yanks this year. How did they do it? Matched the Yanks in homers, but got a lot more extra base hits. Yanks hit into twice as many double...

The pieces just don't fit well together. Too much feast or famine, the long ball is exciting but they rely far too much on it. Lemahieu being down/injured had a big impact on the offense. Also need more LH hitting, Rizzo, Gallo and Odor were an attempt to address that, but Gallo and Odor in...

That is where I'm at. Any favorites? I'm not the most seasoned wine drinker these days, the Sauv Blanc I tend to drink the most is Coppola.

He was a great talent, and it is not my intention to portray him as otherwise. His junior year statistically was the best of the Boeheim era. He even led the 89-90 team in PPG, the same year DC would be a first team AA and the top pick in the draft. On pure talent alone I'd argue he's top...

Co-point guard anyway, and I in fact mentioned him being very frustrating earlier in the thread. Yet the team was good enough to be a 2 seed and won th regular season conference title. Shoulda been able to win at least one post-season game.

That's real insightful. Titles, wins, losses, the post-season, they don't really mean anything. Thanks for enlightening us on what really matters. It was a proud day for the program to be the first 2 seed to lose to a 15. Derrick Coleman grabbed 19 rebounds in a classic national title game...

He was a great, great talent but the results on the court matter, and the way his team went out that postseason without winning a game hurts his legacy, harsh as it may be. (Mike Edwards was a starter on that 91 team and incredibly frustrating, he should have been in a lesser role like he was...

Well anyone who is speaking up with concerns is "undermining the team" and needs to be shown the door according to some of us.

OK. Meanwhile you feel bad for the coaches because some players have a point of view that you don't like. Why do you feel bad for the coaches at all in this case?

I think the players have their best interests in mind as well, even though they don’t all have the same opinion. You just painted some players with a certain point of view as being bad actors here and expressed sympathy for the coaches as if they’re being abused or harmed by players with...

Screw the players who have concerns! The coaches are the real victims here.

Yeah why should the people actually playing the game have a voice here? Just shut up and entertain us.

Obviously any players expressing concerns over Covid safety are the troublemakers here. Why won’t they just shut up and dribble? (Wrong sport but same principle)
