I mean, unless it’s absolutely complete, utter chaos defensively where you can tell they’re definitely going to score, you can’t burn your final TO there, just in case they do score and you have to advance the ball.

In college, maybe it’s a good idea to try to call TO so you can play for the perfect defensive matchup/strategy, but not the NBA.
The weird thing too is the franchises are reversed. Obviously it’s a a completely new “era” of Spurs basketball than the Duncan years, but the 21st century Spurs are similar to the Patriots and the Knicks for decades have been similar to the Falcons.

I think that’s partly why 28-3 will always have the edge (Atlanta’s pain), in addition to football obviously being a singular game, not best-of-7.
Would have never guessed San Antonio would get all the calls in a series against New York. :lol:
Might need to get KAT back in there soon, even with the foul trouble.

Spurs are treating Brunson tonight like Bad Boy Pistons treated MJ.

This start almost seems like a rare situation where the crowd is a disadvantage to the home team.
Not an NCAA issue. They rightfully rendered him permanently ineligible.
Completely stupid. He bet on NCAA football. Even further, he bet on the team he was part of.

Should absolutely be permanently banned from collegiate competition.

New York City and Los Angeles each have zero NFL teams. NFL teams/franchises have a different business model than MLB/NBA/NHL.

You don't think it's because of the taxes in the city/state? I would think it has almost everything to do with the city


That’s potentially why they’re not going to Arlington Heights, but that’s not why they’re leaving the city limits of Chicago. They were always going to a place where they could own a lot of land for cheaply.

They were never staying in Chicago, and it has nothing to do with the city.
Honestly, a pretty good trade for both sides haha

Baseball in a few-game scenario is a fluky sport. A regional tournament is dumb. The MLB playoffs are dumb. A full-season is a much better way to determine a champion.

Downvote away…

RIP. Those Redwings/Avalanche rivalry of the 90s was freaking awesome


It might not be a stretch to say that that decade or so (mid-90s to early 2000s) Red Wings/Avs rivalry was the most intense rivalry in the history of North American professional sports.

Obviously there are some franchises that are “always” rivals (Sox-Yanks, Packers-Bears, Lakers-Celtics, Habs-Leafs, etc.), but Avs-Wings back in the day was absolute madness, lunacy and violence. Lemieux played a huge part in that.
I think Chizik was a worse coach overall in totality than Coker, but a toddler could’ve led that 01 Miami team (which Coker didn’t recruit or assemble as the HC, though he was on staff prior) to a championship.

Chizik (and Orgeron, for that matter) at least inherited not-amazing situations.

I don’t understand the mindset of people who want it to be dark in the morning and bright in the evening. It’s absolute insanity.


It’s because nobody’s really doing any activities outside early in the morning before work (other than joggers, I guess). People still want to be able to do lots of various activities outside after work.

But there’s also body clock / circadian rhythm considerations, which aren’t as easy for people to think about/understand.

They already have that option, I thought. The Indiana General Assembly voted to observe DST state-wide in 2006.


The states can choose year-round standard time (what’s observed in winter) or switch between standard (winter) and daylight (summer), but they can’t choose year-round daylight.

Arizona is on year-round Mountain Standard Time, which aligns it with Pacific Daylight Time in summer but the rest of the Mountain Time Zone in winter.

Shocking. Read he went into the hospital this morning. Wouldn’t be racing this weekend. Dead 12 hours later? Maybe he was septic for the last week and ignored the signs to go get treatment. To pass this quickly had to be something fairly advanced. Horrible news.


I don’t think he went in this morning, I think it was announced this morning. He went in “earlier in the week”.

Hey 1 Super Bowl win each. Wilson went to one more. There's an argument.....maybe.


There is no argument, stop. And I say that as someone who thinks Wilson’s prime is now pretty underrated due to how quickly he fell off a cliff (and has remained around a while as a starter/1b since that decline), plus his weird vibes. Rodgers is head-and-shoulders ahead.

I also don’t even really think of Rodgers/Wilson as the same generation. I consider Brady/Brees/the Mannings/Rivers/Ben/Rodgers one generation, then a bit of a gap to the current Mahomes/Lamar/Allan/Burrow/Herbert/Hurts/Lawrence generation (neither of those lists are all-encompassing).

There’s sorta this awkward in-between generation of Stafford/Luck/Newton/Wilson and not much else. And Newton was flash-in-the-pan, Stafford can almost be thought of more as the current generation because he wasted away in Detroit and then got his MVP / SB in LA, and Luck obviously retired extremely young.
At least there weren’t any outs, but yeah, that’s tough.
