The Scout mods are now prohibiting me from pointing out that Anthony Davis has a hilarious unibrow.

Who on the Bulls is a part of their current core that isn't a long-term asset? I don't think Rip Hamilton and a draft pick are going to get it done.

I was talking about football at the time I wrote that post.

I do wonder if any of this is Delaney wagging his dick at ND to give them their last shot. ND isn't joining the bigx. I forgot, they're joining Conference USA cause it's a better fit. Conference USA is roughly as good a fit as the bigx. Probably less drop outs.

Well, here's why UM is cancelling the ND series. I would say Purdue probably will too. I can't imagine playing 9 B1G games, Notre Dame, and a Pac-12 team. One cupcake a year? We would never make a bowl.

GO BRONCOS ETA: It looks contradictory because of all the Broncos losses needed to clinch spots, but that's only a safeguard to take Oakland out of the picture. (If Denver loses Oakland can't win the wild card. They're either out or the West champ)

If someone's just looking for profit, there are much much better ways than a sports franchise. They do make money, but for these mega-rich guys, owning a team is more a bucket list type thing. Bucket list type things are sailing to Tahiti, owning a sports franchise may be an ego thing, but it's extremely profitable. The Cubs were sold to the Tribune Co. in 1981 for $20.5 million and then sold to Ricketts for $900 million in 2009. If you know a better way to make that much profit, let me know. Some of the worst owners in sports end up selling for a lot more than they paid for a franchise. I'm not arguing that the value of the Cubs isn't much greater now than 1980, but to give it some context, the stock market was at 759 in 1980. 759 to 12099??? brb, putting all my money in the stock market. -

Why is the ND game on at 4:30 tomorrow??

I feel like the Seinfeld quote about write-offs is getting overdone, but [expletive] if it's not needed A LOT

You'd think with their investment expertise, they could have avoided such a fate. Should've bought more sports teams

I went to Oxford this year, had an incredible time. If you plan on tailgating, be aware that it's not the typical tailgating. No cars/trucks/trailers, it's nothing but open grass. Get yourself a tent/canopy thing and go claim your spot the night before. (9 PM I think?) People dress nice for them as well, khakis and a polo should do it. OMC can probably help a lot more than I could.

I mean he's better than Francesca, but really??

Considering the circumstances, it's better than I could have hoped for Probably b/c it's not going to happy. I love that espn is making PSU look even worse. Munchak is the current target, even though he already told PSU that he's not interested. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7395510/report-mike-munchak-tennessee-titans-penn-state-nittany-lions-top-coaching-choice Maybe they can get Danny Hope.

They led by 3 at home with a minute and change left, against a Boston team without Paul Pierce. Are you implying they won't go undefeated? I'm saying we're pretty good.
-
WTF was he doing?? If that was the shot with 2 seconds left it would still blow, but at least it wouldn't give Minnesota a chance. Why in the [expletive] are you shooting a run up 3 pointer with 8 seconds left? You're a 5th year senior, not Alex Legion

I'm saying the second they stepped on the field, all hope was lost against the mighty Chiefs.

The program clearly bottomed out with the season that shall not be named. Since then, recruiting has been where it should be (or better) for Illinois, on the court they've been a 5 seed(24-10, 11-7, 24 KenPom), a tournament snub(21-15, 10-8, 53 KenPom), and a 9 seed (20-14, 9-9, 18 KenPom). '08-'09 was a success, '09-'10 was a disappointment, '10-'11 was a failure. Considering where the program was at that time, that's still bad, but not horrific. The problem is whether the program has plateaued on the court. This team will be back in the tourney this year, but if we're looking at an 8 seed on Selection Sunday, and see no better on the horizion for '12-'13, nothing short of a Parker or Okafor(or choose your recruit du jour) commit should be enough to save Weber's job.
