    2023 NBA Playoffs

    They need to space better. So Gordon can't stand in the dunker's spot or, as Van Gundy said on the broadcast, they can use Gordon as a screener to keep AD out of the paint a little more. Gordon is a good enough 3PT shooter and, perhaps more importantly, is a willing 3PT shooter to keep AD from...

    College Football Bucket List

    Oh yes. Just about everything in a boil. BBQ, turkey legs and a whole hell of a lot of R&B . I'm white and walking through an HBCU tailgate you'll get offered more food and liquor than any other tailgate in the country. The Southern tailgate was a religious experience. Sidenote - I saw a...

    College Football Bucket List

    Magic City Classic is the standard right now. Southern Heritage and Florida Classic were both really fun. Although not officially a classic, I walked through the tailgate at the Jackson State @ Southern game a couple years ago and it was the most vibrant, loudest, and best-smelling tailgate I've...

    College Football Bucket List

    I've been to most of the major HBCU Classics and I would strongly encourage any college football fan to attend one in their life. It's a cultural experience I haven't seen matched at any FBS college game. I've seen 40 or 50 college football stadiums for work and there are redeeming qualities to...

    2023 Pats: Post Your Final Draft Grade

    We didn't really follow up because he wasn't on the team and we wouldn't see him play. I didn't get the impression it was a physical thing. They also love their current WR room so that's probably a part of it too.

    2023 Pats: Post Your Final Draft Grade

    FWIW I sat with LSU coaches last week and they seemed to be happy Boutte was out of the building.

    Easter Weekend Game Thread

    VAR in the Brighton/Spurs game just missed an obvious penalty. I thought the handball in the first half wasn't clear and obvious and the Welbeck deflected goal could have stood. Yikes.

    NCAA Basketball Tourney March Madness Regional Finals Saturday March 25 and Sunday March 26 Game Thread

    Hill and Nantz refusing to pile on Barkley after Raft shot a volley was so disappointing. Hill adds VERY VERY little.

    NCAA Basketball Tourney March Madness Regional Finals Saturday March 25 and Sunday March 26 Game Thread

    As a neutral, it sucks to have all of the life taken out of the game on an immaterial loose ball foul 90 feet from the basket.

    MW 2/25-3/1: Cold, cold ground

    The NBC crew did a fantastic job showing the Havertz kickout and the ref not even looking at Ziyech when he reached for the first yellow: View: https://youtu.be/GLLe6tu3H-o?t=357

    Warner Bros. Discovery tells teams it is leaving RSN business

    Correct. Neither the teams OR the league are in a good negotiation position. In terms of MLB doing something drastic - there isn't much interest from networks in airing nationally televised baseball games. And the MLB's core audience is the demo most averse to streaming. It's telling when...

    Warner Bros. Discovery tells teams it is leaving RSN business

    This may be true in the long-term but it is certainly not true in the short term. The leagues affected by Bally/ATT falling apart (MLB, NBA, NHL) have all been paying very close attention to the Apple/MLS situation. It's the dream scenario for the NHL or MLB. I view the NBA a bit differently...

    Warner Bros. Discovery tells teams it is leaving RSN business

    Streaming and out-of-market league-wide deals are one thing... MLB's audience is older and hyper local, these teams need to find a way to distribute their games locally and over the air. Outside of the NFL, streaming-only/OTT-only platforms have not been viable. I would expect deals to be...

    CFB 2022 Bowls Week 3: Final Four

    Georgia snapping that quick is a much worse transgression than OSU on the last drive.

    CFB 2022 Bowls Week 3: Final Four

    I had one of their coaches tell me Stroud's processing is 100x Fields at OSU. Now Fields is an athletic beast when he tucks and runs, but it is apparently not close in terms of seeing the field and making decisions (according to one coach).
