Want to have a few minutes of fun? Go and look up some random players on Basketball-Reference and see how much money they made in their careers. The best one's are the guys who played 8-12 years, were never good enough to start consistently but good enough to be the 6th-8th men and played in the 90's/2000's. The results will usually amaze you. Tyronn Lue: 21.3M. Chris Mihm: 25.4M. Devean George: 28.6M Kwame Brown: 64M!!!! This started because I was curious how much Lue made in his career and I then started looking up random Lakers. I was at the Bucks-Kings game tonight with my wife and a few coworkers and I looked up the good Bucks team that lost in the ECF in 2000-01. Jason Caffey was on that team and I randomly picked him. He averaged 7.3 ppg and 4.4 rpg for his career over 8 season and yet made 34M.

Yeah, they got off to a slow start that game (just like the three group games), but once we got going, we never should have let it get to extra time.

Pep will be the new manager of Man City next year.

Yeah. It's definitely setting up for a crazy tournament. Last year was incredibly top heavy with Kentucky, Wisconsin and Duke and it ended up playing out that way. We're already down to 3 major conference teams with 2 losses.

It might not have mattered but the Patrick Peterson muffed punt seemed like a turning point. Arizona had just scored to cut it to 17-7, they get a quick stop and are going to get the ball around midfield. But Peterson fumbles and Carolina goes right down for a TD to go back up 17 and Arizona never got closer the rest of the way.

Yep, that was a great one. Good day today with both Manchester teams dropping points. Would have liked a Liverpool tie or loss also but they were winning entering injury time so I can't complain too much. 5 points up on ManU and 8 up on Liverpool, and only two back of City. Would love an Arsenal draw tomorrow also.

Third most free throws ever shot in a single game behind only Dwight, who shot 39 twice. Also only the ninth time a player has shot 30 in a game.

Pretty weird sequence of events. Chargers attempting a FG on 4th and 25 and make it. However, the Raiders were called for defensive holding which gave San Diego an automatic first down (a ridiculous rule on a FG seeing as the offense isn't actually trying to gain yards). Chargers end up not gaining any yards and attempt another field goal from the same spot and miss it. They also had a near TD right after the penalty that was correctly overturned because the ball hit the ground as the Charger receiver was going to the ground.

LOL Lions.

We'll always have Pittsbugh and St Louis. Go Cubs!

My team is generally terrible - best regular season finish is third, this year, and I've never won a playoff round in seven years (this is the eighth) - so I was thinking of trying something different next year. Those of you who play more fantasy baseball, please tell me how crazy/dumb this is. I play in a regular H2H league with R, HR, RBI, K, SB, OPS for hitters and QS, SV, TB, K, ERA, WHIP for pitchers. 1 position for each infielder plus MI and CI, 4 OF, 1 Util for hitters and 3 SP, 3 RP, 3 P for pitchers. I was thinking of just drafting hitters with my first 8 or 9 picks and load up there, grab 5 closers (and hopefully pick one up as a FA for a team that decides late) and then take pitchers. Chapman and Kimbrel went 5th round, Holland 6th, and Robertson 7th. Nothing else until the 9th round. I'd then stream pitchers all year and make sure I won QS, SV, K every week. I'd end up getting at least 21 starts per week so getting 7-8 QS each week would win me that every time (the only guy who had more than 5 this week streamed pitchers). Drafting all hitters early, I'd hopefully have the advantage on offense each week. I realize this wouldn't mean I'd sweep the hitting categories each week and win 9-3. But I feel that this can't possibly be worse than what I've been doing. So is this an ok strategy at all?

Iwakuma has a no hitter through 8 against Baltimore.

Cubs lost today but are still in the second wild card spot and can wrap up a series win tomorrow. This appears to be a favorable pitching matchup so hopefully the Cubs take advantage. Last time I started a game thread, the Cubs lost but then won the next six so I'll be willing to sacrifice this game if the same thing happens after the loss again. Go Cubs!

Cubs are in a bit of a slide recently having lost 6 of 8. But they're still over .500 on the year and will remain as such after this game. Bryant homers again and the Cubs knock Garza around for a 7-3 win. Go Cubs!

Matchups are set: 1. Golden State vs. 8. New Orleans 2. Houston vs. 7. Dallas 3. Los Angeles vs. 6. San Antonio 4. Portland vs. 5. Memphis (Memphis has home court) 1. Atlanta vs. 8. Brooklyn 2. Cleveland vs. 7. Boston 3. Chicago vs. 6. Milwaukee 4. Toronto vs. 5. Washington Pretty costly loss for the Spurs today. Had they won, they would have had the 2 seed and a matchup with Dallas in the first round with home court the first two rounds. Instead, they'll probably have to go through LAC, Houston and Golden State to make the final without any home court.

Got our first two Soler dongs of the year on Monday and they were glorious. That's three straight wins, two games over .500 for the first time since 2009 and sole possession of first place for the first time since 2009. We've got another favorable pitching matchup tonight so keep it up. Go Cubs!
