  1. but I guess that really sums up their season
  2. Iowa had like 30 points in the first 10 minutes. They have just been hot garbage since.
  3. I mean, it's almost comical at this point
  4. Buckle up and watch Iowa blow this thing in dramatic fashion...
  5. I forgot I had MSU losing on Sunday so maybe this somehow has me destined for mediocrity
  6. and Michigan State helps me stay in the cellar...
  7. Good one. I'll take that. I'm currently tied for last...
  8. Brutal couple of days from the Miller family
  9. It really isn't weird at all. Players genuinely believe (right or wrong) that the clubhouse is their place and that management doesn't belong there. I generally agree with them so long as there aren't major issues, and baseball has a long history of kids in the clubhouse. I think the 100% involvement is probably unique, but I don't necessarily disagree with LaRoche taking his ball and going home. KW handled it extremely poorly so I understand why someone like Sale would stage a little protest. He might be coming across as a bit of a "crybaby", but I'd venture to guess the majority of players around the league agree with him. KW comes over to LaRoche and kindly asks, on his knees "hey...I know it is in your contract and everything, but do you think it would be ok if your teenaged kid didn't live in the clubhouse all the time? I mean, maybe he can crash at his mom's every other Sunday maybe?" and then LaRoche RETIRES FROM BASEBALL?!? And then the best pitcher on the team creates a shrine to commemorate the exceptional martyrdom that occurred. And it isn't weird at all? Whatever you say. Baseball players are mostly really dumb people. This isn't even the slightest bit weird to me.
  10. I don't know who he is, but I don't watch college sports at all so... Same here. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt there. I bet you [expletive] know who Dick Vitale is...

  12. Lemon, let me tell you a little story. It was 1994, and I was ice climbing when I fell into a crevasse and hurt my leg. There was only one way out, so fighting every natural instinct I have, I did the thing I hated the most. I climbed down into the darkness. And when I came back to camp, I went to the person who cut my line and said, "Connie Chung, you saved my life."
  13. The clubhouse is for the players, man.
  14. I feel like we've stepped into a time machine.
  15. I hate nearly everyone on that list, but it has to be Vitale vs. Smith in a 78 OT thriller. horsefeathers, they're both just so terribly good at being insufferable.
  16. Russo is awful... I guess he's just not relevant enough. More relevant that Mariotti if you ask me. Also Clay Travis isn't relevant enough to be a 1 seed. I'd easily go 16 over 1 in that matchup.
  17. I hope there are some good games tomorrow. Today kinda sucked.
  18. Also Kris Negron is a "good looking kid". The 30 year old with the career sub-700 OPS.
  19. Painter let them dictate. Yep. That was some horrible coaching to close it out.
  20. Good idea bringing in the A ball pitcher after Georgie is out of the way.
  21. How many people did Georgie kill in Cuba and MiLB?
