Like - NO. A lot of reasons, Not one reason, not two, not three, not even 6. There are a lot of reasons.

Respect and Admire his career - YES, to an extent. By raw accomplishments and stat accumulation, he is certainly a top 3 player in the league.

But where my respect stops, in a win or go home game 7, I don’t think of LeBron as a top 10 player. Many others that I would rather in a do or die game. That is the metric that I base Best Ever on and LeBron doesn’t measure up to others.

As I watched the CFP, I thought that there would be an uptick in threads wanting Bain. My problem with Bain as disruptive as he was last night and against A&M and Ohio State, he had stretches this season that he did not show up. He had a 5 game stretch with 6 tackles and one sack against weak competition. Maybe there was an injury (I’m certain one will be discussed during the pre draft process to explain his production dip during this time).

Talent and measurables for days and he will be a high draft pick. I just would have a concern about his ability to play to his CFP level consistently in the NFL.

I think a lot of the hate around Lane and his move to LSU is driven by fear of the success he will have in Baton Rouge. All other SEC fan bases and media folks know LSU is a sleeping giant, they know Lane is brash but excellent. I think there is legit fear in the media that Lane will have a dominant tenure at LSU and they are trying to convince themselves that he will fail or that Lane wasn’t the key to Ole Miss’ success bc they are rolling without him. They are wrong. But their irrational opinions are driven by fear not hate.

It’s called a suspension condition, a future uncertain event triggers the effectiveness of a contract or enforceability of certain conditions.

Very common, for example, most residential real estate purchase agreements can have multiple suspension conditions that trigger the closing date - the residence must pass inspection; the buyer must secure financing; the home must appraise; etc.

The purchase agreement is valid but the certain obligations do not become enforceable until the condition is satisfied.

For the Chambliss situation, the timing does feel like portal leverage. But I think this is also leverage for the Eligibility Request. What this gives Chamliss is a stick to swing back at the NCAA if his request is denied, and that stick is his damages or alleged damages that he will seek when he sues the NCAA if his request is denied.

Great question. And what a fun question to debate for Pels fans. Usually our debates are over negatives like who was worse Griff or Dumars; or trade Zion for nothing or cut him or keep him and overpay.

That said, what a Christmas Miracle that we have a positive subject to debate.

To answer the question, I think Fears has the higher floor on his career with great handles and athleticism; and Queen has the higher ceiling being a highly skilled big that sees the floor well.


Which is better now? I would say Queen but it’s close.

Sooo... it's about the X's & the O's, and not the Jimmy's & the Joe's???

Nobody ever said the two were mutually exclusive. Both obviously matter a great deal.

My view is it takes a certain level of talent to reach the ultimate goal of a championship. Tulane had a great season, but we all know they don’t have the talent to legitimately compete for a championship in the playoff. So the Jimmys and Joes matter.

That said, you can squander talent with poor coaching (thank you Brian for teaching us that difficult lesson). So the Xs and Os obviously matters too.

Trust him enough to play him tonight coming off an injury and a week of no practice?

I don’t know what the Gumps think, I try to avoid it. But I was in Gumpland for Thanksgiving. And there was a lot of talk that Kiffin wasn’t coming to LSU, why would he leave Ole Miss which is now a better job than LSU. Numerous folks laughed at the thought. But they were very quick to say Kiffin would be perfect at Bama and he would no doubt leave Ole Miss for Gumpsville when the Gumps move on from Kalen.

Same Gumpers texted this week suggesting Kiffin was a coward for leaving Ole Miss and only a loser would ditch a program for a “better job” because he knows he isn’t “man enough” to win big at Ole Miss.

The double standard was clear- the Gumps were Gumping. The jealousy was evident. The fear was festering.
