Boston is slightly better than NY after tonight's games. Boston and NY are both 8-2 in their last 10. And it must frustrate them that they've only gained 1 game on the Pistons. 😆

38 point win. I figured by 20 but 38?

It's a 30 point game because he's helped dominate the Knicks. 😆

These announcers make me appreciate George and Greg. Our guys actually announce the game and don't babble about nonsense nobody cares about. Call the game!

Brunson is such a phony flopper.

Or on bribes. Corruption out in the open. SCOTUS gave him permission to be as corrupt as he wants. Whatever is offered is taken.

Pistons coming off a loss? Yeah, Pistons by 20. 😆

True. He either posted that meme or approved it. Its just shows a certain amount of stupidity. I mean, how many times has he said something stupid and his base has to comes out and said he was only kidding? His mouth works faster than his brain, which is deteriorating quickly.

With 3 year free agents, teams wouldn't be able to afford doing that. Who would pay Riley $20 million per year for 5 or 6 years and then sign several other players for even more? The owners costs would go way, way up to field a competitive team. Think a $600 million payroll. There would be multiple players for every position available. And the league would get even younger, as most teams would let free agents walk. The quality of the game would suffer. Yeah, hitting free agency after 3 years isn't going to happen.

In baseball these days, 2 playoff seasons in a row is pretty consistent. Maybe not compared to the Dodgers but still somewhat consistent.

Well, I've also heard speculation that the Tigers offered him a contract but I really don't know the details. My point is the same, any player going into free agency is gambling on his health and production. Its a multi-million dollar gamble. And pitchers are so....delicate.

Think politics is bad now? I just binged "Death by Lightning" on Netflix. The story of President Garfield's assassination. Things were quite crazy in the 1880's.

I joined in February of 2005. Got tired of all the trolls in newsgroups.

Joe Biden did it;

He wants the NFL Washington team to take back the Redskin name and name their stadium after him. What a pathetic little man he is. The only rulers who name things after themselves are dictators. How much longer before he decides to put his likeness on currency? Maybe a new 50 cent piece?

I heard Trump once say he's done more for "black folks" than Lincoln did. And he once pointed out a black group and said they were his "black friends" I always wondered why they tolerated that from him, they should have walked out

And all the protesters should wear masks. Give those violent racists a taste of their own medicine.

I saw this earlier but thought is was parody.

Howard Cosell says Hi.

Oh yeah. And we also had Grapes who would post a long post with no punctuation and mis-spellings that caused his words to make no sense and I would spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what he was saying that usually made no sense anyway and was sometimes racist or sexist when he did get a thought across from his rambling brain to his keyboard while many people argued with him so I always wondered if he was for real or just a troll. Whew...that's exhausting. 😅😅

No more 2024 starts with the entire lineup in a 2 month slump. Making the playoffs was an amazing feat that season.

Yeah, some good times on the old forums. It was the father of a player who was on here and said..."dont make me come to Royal Oak to kick your ass." It was a part time outfielder....hazy memory...

The Strategy Expert?? Didn't he say he had a secret formula that ranked players? And Dave Dombrowski was spying on him? Kinda scary...

But other teams would also lose guys to free agency after the same 3 years. So yes, we could have lost several players but a huge pool of replacements would be available. At a huge cost, much more expensive, but out there to sign.

Well, maybe not Skubal but many free agents, who were offered contract extensions, take a gamble that theyll stay injury free and that they will put up good numbers, increasing their worth. I'm surprised the Tigers didn’t at least try or offer Skubal a contract. Not that Boras would advise him to sign it but to let him know the risks of possibly losing millions of dollars.
