  1. 0% - This is just another scam to manipulate the markets for profit.
  2. They also need to be regulation wins. They can’t afford to give a free point to either CBJ or Philly
  3. Go take a look at the IG pages of Yaxel and Jeremy Fears at MSU. This is how NIL is supposed to work. Most of the posts are paid ads from large companies. Actual branding that is used to effectively market directly to kids of their generation. It’s not just free money handed out for nothing. It’s actual paid work that has value. Unfortunately, this doesn’t come close to solving the real issue which is there is no honor among thieves. Schools and their boosters are always looking for an edge and will continue to illegally use money to gain an advantage. The NCAA has tried to play ball and given every school $20M to legally pay players and that’s still not nearly enough. I don’t have the answers and I’m not sure they exist but they need to figure how to create penalties with some teeth in them.
  4. It’s Taco Tuesday. A two week reprieve is coming at some point before 8:00 PM.
  5. I’ve enjoyed the officials letting them play for most of the tournament. Disappointing they’ve decided to become more involved tonight.
  6. Nearly every NBA player will want to be in Chicago again now that Josh Giddey is there toying with the rest of the league.
  7. There’s a decent chance that pick 17 comes around and the best player on their board is Penn State G Vega Ioane. He’s being touted as one of the best G prospects in a number of years. Plays both run and pass very well. I like the idea of plugging him in next to Sewell at LG, Mays at C, Ratledge at RG. That’s a great young line and you can have Borom hold it down at RT for a year. That’s a huge, huge improvement and created great depth with Mahogany, Frazier, Scruggs, and Sorsdal.
  8. He’s going to make many millions more in the portal than the draft. Expect the Brother Rice alum to be a big target for both in-state schools.
  9. Good call. I’m guessing that get in price was far less than a normal Lions ticket. If you are solo it should be easy to navigate into a better seat.
  10. The Jolly Roger is the only way to go
  11. They should fire McLellan tomorrow. It’s not his fault but you can’t fire the players (or the GM).
  12. LA drafted him while he was in college at Minnesota and traded him before he ever played in the NHL. Trade was Faber and a 1st round pick for Kevin Fiala. Minnesota used that pick to take Liam Ohgren, who was a piece in the recent Quinn Hughes trade.
  13. Jesus would’ve stayed dead if he was a Wings fan.
  14. Michigan opens as a 7.5 point favorite. Seems light. UConn doesn’t matchup well at all. “Championship DNA” and other immeasurables are the only thing going their way.
  15. Total domination. The first 10 minutes of the 2nd half is where Michigan has played its best ball all year. They have a better chance being up by 30 with 10 to go than Arizona does of cutting it to 10.
  16. STL used 25 outs to the Tigers 24. They had more chances than the Tigers. They didn’t get cheated.
  17. I kind of got it. My answer was that guy Cleveland drafted that totally sucked. Couldn’t remember his name.
  18. Much much better 1st period
  19. If the Eagles can get back to another Super Bowl those issues will be well worth it.
  20. As I think about this more, I wonder what would’ve happened had they let Frank keep his bonus after recouping from Barry and Calvin. I can see a giant racial issue being created even though that wouldn’t have been the reason for letting Frank keep it. To avoid a media firestorm it may have come down to either recouping from Frank or finding a way to pay back Barry and Calvin. The former being much simpler. The Lions are in their financial glory days. The franchise has never made more money on their own while at the same time the league is churning it out for everyone. I still think it would’ve been in their best interests and a great PR move to pay all the money back but I get it.
