Fun fact: There were two coaches in the final coaches poll that voted Oklahoma State lower than third. One of them? Nick Saban. The other? Stanford coach David Shaw, who put Stanford 3rd.
-
Huh. I wonder if he changed his mind about wanting to play for the Bulls, or if they didn't want him? That is a lot of money for Caron Butler, so my thought is that the Clippers just blew him out of the water with an offer.
-
Caron Butler agrees to a 3/$24M deal with the Clippers.

The Big Ten definitely is better than the Big East in basketball this year, by a large margin. The Big 12 might be better than the Big East this year.

Jonah Keri weighs in on the newest $250 million man: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/11778/is-albert-pujols-really-worth-250-million -
Keep in mind he's bracketing based on teams' performance and results right now rather than projecting how they'll end the year. Also, he's basing it on the teams' current RPI (which is comical if you see it).
-
How about any DePaul team from the last 20 years? DePaul would occasionally beat the D1 cupcakes. Utah just lost to one by 31 at home. They may not win a D1 game this year.
-
Also, Utah might be the worst major conference team in history this year.
-
If Harvard wins tonight, they'll likely have an undefeated season. I mean, they won't win tonight, but it's all smooth sailing from here for them if they do, which makes me wonder how high pundits will rank them.
-
Jerry Palm (the guy who tracks the RPI for CBS) posted his early season bracketology. That's a lot of Big Ten teams in the field.
-
For now it's the same stuff, he just added the player data this week. He's planning on adding more stuff as extrapolating from game data gets more reliable. Paul is the 3rd worst shooter among all major conference players that get at least major ball usage (24% and up). Maniscalco and Leonard are both in the top 30 overall (including non-majors).
-
If there's one thing to be learned from KP's player stats this year, it's that Brandon Paul has absolutely no business ever shooting a jump shot.
-
Illinois just made 2 of their final 27 jump shots and won.
-
That was another game last year's team definitely loses.
-
If you can watch just the first 5 and the last 5, it'll be worth it.
-
They played really well the last 3 minutes. Leonard and Paul especially. Have a feeling that their best ballhandler being their worst foul shooter is going to hurt eventually.
-
@JohnGasaway: Brandon Paul is having success driving into the lane! Why didn't this happen until the 37th minute!
-
I'll be OK, though, because if Loria ruins the franchise, they'll just move it somewhere else and give him another one.
-
Between Santos for a soft-tossing AA potential 3 starter, Street for a PTBNL, and Francisco for 2/12, the closer market has cooled off a lot after the Bell/Papelbon signings.
-
This is so weird...why would the Cubs even be bothering being involved when they're almost surely not going to match those years. And it's not like they can drive the bidding up any higher than the Marlins already have. What if the Cubs are offering significantly more AAV on a shorter contract? Like 4/$120 or 5/$150? Surely that'd keep them in the conversation. I could easily see the Cubs at 7/200 with the Marlins and Cards at 10/220-225. All are competitive offers.

As of this morning, there are 14 remaining undefeated teams in Division 1: - Ohio State - Kentucky - Syracuse - Missouri - Marquette - Louisville - Indiana - Baylor - Xavier - Kansas State - Harvard - Illinois - Creighton - Murray State Of those, only Ohio State, Kentucky, Harvard and Murray State have realistic shots at going undefeated for the year, though.

Yikes. Well, you had a nice season. Probably Bush/Barber unless Smith is out for Detroit, then Bush/Morris.
-
It'd be kind of funny if spending a bunch of time pining after free agents only to see them go to Miami became a thing. Who do the Bears want next year that the Dolphins can take away? Was having this conversation earlier with a buddy at work. The Blackhawks do kinda miss Brian Campbell right now, even though they'll be glad to be rid of his contract in the long run. It'll really hit home when Vincent Jackson signs with the Dolphins in the offseason.
