Trump has made them move the team after he mistakenly said they were in Kansas so many years ago.
This might as well be watching wrestlers talk shite in the ring. It is all a show and less entertaining. These politicians do nothing that adds value. They just steal and waste money.

Sure, one could have predicted the "who" early on...but the real mystery was in how it was done, the way it was done, and everything that went into it that was unseen.


How do you predict who did it early on, but not know how and why?

That is not really figuring it out.
I still would have been fine with the top 6 conference champions. The expectation is the conference would select their top teams in a format they won’t reward teams with bad records. The two top teams getting a bye. The PAC-12 dissolving makes it less needed. The other conferences just absorbing the teams was stupid.

Is anyone really mad with the following result and the rest of the teams going to a normal bowl exhibition games. Had the Pac-12 stayed it would have been

1 - Indiana
2 - UGA
3 - Texas Tech
4 - Oregon
5 - Miami
6 - Tulane

They would have created more parity had they eliminated all of these second chances. Every conference would have invested resources in competing for their one slot.

Also money could have incentivized more OOC matchups as playoff entry would have been based more on conference championship format.
Minecraft was great at what it was trying to be. A fun kids/adult popcorn flick.

I didn’t see most of them. I saw Brave New World and it wasn’t good.
IDK

I kind of view Robin Williams being another great actor that is similar to Carrey.

He also won 2 championships as a player coach. The guy is one of the greatest of all time.


Everyone in the picture is among the greatest of all time. LOL

That is the point.
The league was literally half the size it is now when Russell played. He was also on one of the founding teams of the NBA.
The thing that elevates Curry in my opinion is the fact he probably ushered in the 3pt era of NBA basketball. He changed the actual game.
My Ranking

1. Jordan
2. James
3. O’Neal
4. Kareem
5. Bird
6. Johnson
7. Curry
8. Duncan
9. Durant
10. Bryant
11. Russell

He seemed engaged when he first arrived.

I assume they argue they should get a full share of the playoff revenue instead of having to split it with a conference.

It is all dumb.

Everyone celebrated the game when they were playing knowing damn well what was going on. Complaining about it after the fact is ridiculous.

Should have always done top 6 conference champions and used the BCS computer to seed them. Top 2 seeds get a bye. Seeds 3 and 4 get home games in the first round.

Neutral sites for semi-finals and NCG.

Make conferences responsible for how they crown their champion.

If play as an independent you are ineligible as you have to be a conference champion.
Texas A&M’s schedule was very weak too.
He stated he bailed on the kick because of the hold. The hold was clearly bad in the replay. Unfortunate for him it will be shown forever as a screw up on his part. In fairness, if he ended up kicking it into the line it could have been an even worse result. It may been returned for a score or much better field position. The holder then got murdered for the failure on the hold.

His one saving grace is that Mcafee is the most popular talk show host out there and he is a former kicker. He will most likely take up for him in the media and put it on the holder. We will have to see.
I think trading Zion for assets that may actually try to play and win would change the culture. I think that is the problem
I think it is more absolute trash coaching leadership and the fact they are not playing. Not fully hating on Borrego at this point as he took over a complete mess of coaching.

I see it as the team was constructed around Zion and he has chosen to destroy the team by not playing winning basketball and/or being in shape.

From a pure talent standpoint. They have talent on the team. Watching other NBA teams, the Pelicans individual players have skills that if put on other rosters would make them key starters and rotation players. They are just poorly coached and Zion has not decided to be a consistent leader with his elite talent. At this point you have to admit Zion doesn’t have that in him as a player until he proves it.

The key Pels talent has to be on the court to win games also. You have two problems with players actually playing games.

1. Murray was actually truly hurt with a legitimate long term injury. The guy has passion.

2. Zion does not appear to have the motivation and passion to lead the team. The team was constructed with him being the primary driving force. Due to the overwhelming ridiculous non-engagement of Zion playing, others are now disengaging with minor issues.

Everyone can hate on Benson. She should have pushed to get different leadership involved. She is an example of why the owner has to have atleast a little business sense to hold people accountable. Drafting has been fine, but the coaching has been horrible. They failed in not moving on better coaching more quickly. She is spending money as the payroll is middle of the pack in the league and she is in the smallest market. People complain about the arena, but people are dumb in that argument because they will not spend the money on tickets for luxury perks regardless of how good the team is. It is easy to criticize the Zion moves, but the NBA has a problem with players potentially destroying small markets. I guarantee Zion will change his attitude just like Anthony Davis when he changes teams to a bigger market. Just like Anthony Davis started immediately pushing through minor bumps and bruises when he went to the Lakers, Zion will suddenly get more serious.
