What a joke. A Judge with a law degree from Ole Miss rules in their favor. Meanwhile the same situation in another state gets a different outcome. That would be great if judges from Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana all ruled that he was ineligible and he couldn’t play in any games in those states. We can’t have each state able to make their own rules. The NCAA needs to figure out how to get control of its own sport back. They should be able to set their own rules to be eligible for the CFP. Let a judge say a kid can play but force the university to hold him out or chance losing the right to be in the playoff.

Horrendous. 1st goal is probably offside but no view that shows it. 2nd was one of the worst interference call that you will ever see.

Great first 2 periods for Canada. Very sharp in all facets against a very strong medal contender.

Busy day today on Olympic ice. The Swiss have a sneaky good team and dominated the French this morning 4-0. 10:30 we get our first look at the Silver medal favorites against a formidable Czech team. After yesterday’s results anything can happen. 3:10 we get our first look at Team USA against Latvia. They have 2 NHL goalies but this should be a boat race from start to finish. We will see if Larkin can pick up where he left off at 4 Nations. Seider gets his first action at the same time for the Germans against the Danes. This one will be similar to 1940.

In the past I would have said no. People can determine which issues are most important to them and vote accordingly. It’s a very personal decision. These are unusual times. Things are so different now that policy which impacts our country, our democracy, our constitution, and ultimately our freedom needs to be the main determinant in voting. Whether you support Israel or Palestine really shouldn’t be a determining factor in the future of America.

Any Alim restructuring should be off the table for the moment. He needs to prove he’s part of the long term before thinking about extending. Hopefully last year was a one off due to injury. Even more hopefully, Brad doesn’t love his guys so much that he thinks this same way and extends him now. Goff will 100% get restructured soon. Doing ASB and/or Penai now will come down to how active they are in free agency and what extensions look like for Gibbs and Campbell. My gut tells me they will be very active in the offseason with some bigger deals and will need most of that money.

Great post. I’ve been thinking this for some time. Our democracy is in jeopardy, yet many people still let what’s happening in Israel determine who gets their vote.

Dressing JT Miller and Vinny Trocheck over Clayton Keller is insanely dumb.

The most important part of today’s report were the 2025 revisions. 584,000 jobs gained were reported for the year. The revisions today has it at 181,000. 403,00 jobs that were reported but never existed That is a misstatement by 69% What’s scarier is that sinceI don’t trust these numbers, it’s probably much, much worse. Either way, why does our financial system continue to put trust in these numbers. Who would put trust and use an indicator that had only 30% accuracy? This is insane but then again these markets have always been rigged. This is yet another tool meant to confuse and deceive.

Every department in our government has become politically partisan. Not a single data point coming out should be trusted before being vetted by someone from the outside. We have become no different than Russia, China, or Iran in this regard.

The least surprising news ever.

Olson out for the year. Explains the last two moves a bit more

Only good things happen from having Olson, Melton, Montero, and Jobe around JV everyday. I still think he’s got something left in the tank to get major league hitters out.

Brandon Miller is a nice player.

Way too young. Tracy was a quality player on a bunch of pretty good Lions teams.

Need to be on it tonight. This Hornets team is the hottest in the league.

9th year!

I’m not sure how it’s going to work with Tom Wilson playing in a format where fighting is absolutely forbidden.

I don’t think we need an Olympic thread but if someone thinks otherwise they can start one. initial practice lines:

I’ve been to 9 of these restaurants. Joe’s Stone Crab being the best and Zehnder’s easily the worst.

Best Super Bowl Ever!

I found myself watching the Olympics on the Canadian feed today. I got sucked into the Snowboard Big Air competition. They showed every single jump in order but skipped the US rider. The announcers were on camera talking about other parts of the competition and they never showed his jump and didn’t even talk about it afterwards. I thought it was a bit weird but then it happened again in the 2nd round. Everyone but the US got shown. This time he had a great jump and moved into 3rd place. They never showed a reply and the announcers acted a little confused describing the standings. It was obvious this was on purpose. I think they plan on ignoring and not showing as much of the US as they can to Canadian viewers. This is what it’s come to and I don’t blame them one bit.

Make the lottery unweighted. Each team that qualifies has the same odds. It will make great TV too.

Maybe I have recency bias as he’s struggled leading the team when he’s been in and his shot has looked Hollandish over the last few weeks. I don’t trust him and his lack of experience if we get into a situation where it matters and Cade is in foul trouble. I would’ve liked a little upgrade at the deadline as insurance for the playoffs. I also have to admit that Daniss takes a bit of the brunt of my hate for Rick Pitino.
