i listen to a fair amount of bulls talk (because schadenfreude is a wonderful thing), and you'd be amazed at how they think they can get guys like herb jones for donsumu and a second round pick. or trey murphy for cheap. if the bulls arent giving up their #1 this year and next, theyre not getting ****. the only guy worth much on their roster is giddey and even he isnt worth THAT much. buzelis maybe, but they wont trade him. they missed their chance to trade vuc. he's worthless now.

rough loss on a back to back after a good win. shouldnt be too unexpected.

the big ten should be excited about adding ucla, usc, and washington to the conference. those are some of the best academic schools in the country. oregon? well....nebraska says hi.
-
oregon, washington, usc, and ucla are all like minded academic schools with the rest of the big ten. so are maryland and rutgers. the two schools that arent are possibly usc and northwestern because they are private schools. but all of the schools are flagship institutions in their states academically and mostly large state schools. the real question is - of course - geography. but times change. its not 1965 anymore. once you made it all about money for the schools and then for the players, it became a whole different world. in that world, large conferences make sense.

no.

woukd you trade for mpj?

they could use either an upgrade on the third pair or a solid 2nd pair dman to allow chairot to drop to the third pair. if that happens, they likely cure a lot of their defnesive woes, many of which stem from the black hole that is their third pair d. the question is whether you give up a #1 pick for that, which is likely to be the going rate for such a defenseman.

exactly. moore's disqualifying feature was not that he cheated on his wife or that he followed onlyfans "models" or that he texted them for potential sexual relationships, it was that he had such a relationship with a subordinate, gave her a big raise, and lied to his employer about it.

they raise banners for winning the atlantic division. they'll raise banners for this too. but lets be honest....mike brown. they aint winning shiite.

the nfl agreement makes it much harder to keep star players than baseball. baseball teams can simply pay their stars. football has to keep them under a "cap".
-
if they win the title this year they'll probably raise both.
-
which is another incentive for skubal to sign long term with detroit...
-
if those three turn them down, i'd rather go with an interim for a year then make a mistake it takes 5 years to get out of, but youre probably right.

blah blah blah blah i hate michigan blah blah blah blah...

unpopular opinon: "super teams" like the dodgers drive interest in baseball. it attracts new fans who like winners and it creates an enemy for everyone else to root against. unpopular opinion #2: baseball does not need a salary cap or any further restraints on salary. there are already a tremendous amount of devices in place to hold down salary and force players to work for much less than thrir market value. a team can draft a player and pay them a "slot" of predetermined money, then put them in the minors for a period of time, and then have them at up to (in most cases) 6 years below market value. years that can coincide with their peak production years. and then they can trade them for more underpaid assets. baseball's current structure is very "owner friendly." all owners. including the owners of the pittsburgh pirates, milwaukee brewers, and tampa bay rays. the difference is that two of those teams have (or, have had) competent management and the other is pittsburgh.

he will if the new cba eliminates contracts longer than 6 years.

Deboer Dillingham Fisch no other option is realistic, imo.

big win.

zadina ALWAYS shot the puck right at the goalie's chest or missed the net. every damn time.
-
stl and detroit recycle the others' roster dregs every year.
-
i wouldnt put texas a&m, oregon, or clemson as tier 1 football programs. tier 1 is for blue bloods who are still successful and well heeled. i would rank penn state above all those schools.

i think so too. my worry is they have a great regular season team because they try hard and play defense when no one else in the league competes like that on a regular basis. and they have a guy who can get buckets when they need it as well as almost anyone in the league. but come playoff time when teams game plan them every game, theyre going to take away duren's roll game (they already kind of have), hunt robinson and duren on switches on defense, make ausar shoot, and double team cade and make him work at the other end. get the ball out of his hands. have to get a legit second ball handler (jenkins aint it) and hopefully a wing who can score on his own and play defense. i dont think they'll need to break the bank for murphy, but he would fill that bill quite nicely. i'd definitely include ivey and a couple firsts to do it.

cade is impressive. who is their #2 scoring option in the playoffs when they double team cade every time he gets the ball?

you need to relax.

the guy who failed at charlotte? not going to happen.
