  1. I couldn't get enough of watching Jennings turn the wrong way.
  2. Ha... http://nba-point-forward.si.com/2011/03/28/monday-musings-lakers-back-as-favorites/ I was totally that guy too.
  3. If they're willing to make him one of the highest-paid coaches, that's as good a reason as any. I can't think of anyone that wouldn't leave their job if they were being offered nearly double the salary at another job. I don't know about that. I know several people who wouldn't take a job just because of higher pay. It's certainly an important consideration but hardly the only one. For a public example, look at Brad Stevens. He quit his job to take a job that was probably less than 1/2 the salary he was making before. I might have overstated it by saying I couldn't think of anyone, but it's certainly uncommon. I don't think I'm overstating it by saying most people would take the huge pay increase.

  5. I'm gonna go ahead and close the thread discussing trading a player that we no longer have to trade.
  6. Where exactly are you hearing this from? I saw one person on Purdue's rival.com boards that posted this information and that reports are "surfacing all over the internet". Also, one Missouri sports blog is reporting that they have inside sources that say this will be announced on Tuesday. Color me sceptical. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Sports-Horn/161039770604007#!/pages/The-Sports-Horn/161039770604007?sk=info It's funny. The last few years have brought about this ridiculous reporting of everyone taking a stab at the story so they can take credit for making the scoop. Whenever a topic pops up like this, everone starts winging their darts at the board in hopes of hitting a bullseye. This is a pretty good breakdown of it.... http://www.theboilingpoints.com/2011/03/painter-missouri-situation-still-sticky.html
  7. Mike Quade is a [expletive] superhero.
  8. Here it is, since it's not immediately evident where it's being discussed: http://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/topic?p=2591664#p2591664
  9. The Packers probably shouldn't expect Johnny Jolly to return anytime soon.... http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/sports/cbsports-packers-de-jolly-arrested-again-on-drug-charge-20110325,0,1254891.story
  10. Because it probably has been made, but they just aren't announcing it to try to generate trade value for Silva.
  11. Wells officially 4th starter. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/sports/cbsports-wells-officially-named-cubs-fourth-starter-20110325,0,6361187.story?track=rss
  12. Stan Van Gundy won't tease you.
  13. But.....I wanted Tampa Bay to have a creamsicle field.
  14. I think it's just annoying. I don't blame them for banning it. It won't affect the game, but every time I see Boise State home game highlights I keep thinking "Damn, that's an ugly field." Teams have worn some terribly ugly uni's, and those haven't been banned. It's just so ridiculously trivial given the stuff the NFL is dealing with. Owners: We want more money, so we won't let the players play. Players: We want more money, so we're gonna fight you. Competition Committee: Hey, we can't ruin our game with an ugly color!
  15. Well sure. Phil isn't exactly unbiased. Of course he's going to go with the guy that he won 3 of his championships with.
  16. Haha...the NFL fears the smurf turf. That's funny.
  17. Ok, but the 1996 team was invincible. I can't be convinced otherwise. Well, yea. NBA Network played game 6 of the 1998 finals the other night. I had a blast watching that...well...except for Costas doing pbp. Yeesh.

  19. Funny as that is, the team that Floyd got to coach was a bit different than the team that Thibs has been blessed with. That's not to diminish at all what Thibs has done, nor to provide an excuse for Floyd. Still. Funny. Most definitely.
