Looks like a less athletic version of Trevon Brazile without the 3 point shot.


Brazile’s 3 point shooting this season was just good enough to give him the green light but not good enough to where anyone felt good about him taking those shots.
What it comes to 6’10”+ centers, there’s just not a wide range of impact potential among the guys who are athletic enough to throw down lobs, not get bullied in the paint, and can block shots. Only if you are a unicorn type that adds three point shooting or is a Shaq-like monster do you really separate yourself into a clear “next tier.” I get not paying $4M for a non-unicorn when you can get 90% of the same impact from a $1M guy.
I would sue them, refuse any settlement offer less than $10M, and ask a jury to make an example of them, which they almost certainly would. Sucks that such a process would take at least a couple years, but such is war.

Frozen corn to lower the temp.

False. Apollo 8 in 1968 did it first.
While JD is trying hard to convince us how religious he is (this book, “aliens” are demons), Ron continues to get it done. I’d suggest this for a better reading experience:

Where did the pitching go this series? Florida roughed up almost every pitcher. Something feels off about that. If it happens again next series then I’ll be really concerned.
Ewin is 3-4 from 3PT. Maybe we will see him try to make one early to pull out the 7-2 dude.
A milligram of antimatter meeting a milligram of matter would release as much energy as a small nuclear explosion.

I’m glad these scientists had fun though.

On the second one, both players were behind the three point line when the pass was made.

This pitching staff and Helfrick are going to take us places. Maybe not a championship, but some cool places.
Nothing makes me much happier than watching kids in double gold chains fail at their job.

Holy shite I feel like some demons were exorcised with the Pompey walk off. I love situations like that in sports where a guy who’s been benched or struggling comes out of nowhere and does something heroic.

With the way things are going I think it makes sense to put your two best hitters at 3/4. Something like:

Ruiz
Niu
Helfrick
Kozeal
Stewart
Aloy
Robinett
Souza
Rutenbar

Don’t ask me how this would work in the field.

26 Arkansas: Acuff, Wagner
We’re a 4-5 seed, sweet 16 level team. Florida is championship caliber. Had Knox actually taken a small step forward this year and stayed healthy, and had Pringle been the guy we thought he was, we may have been championship caliber. We just aren’t though.
