Unlikely but interesting to see if NBA suspends Murray.
Also, Hart for the Knicks and his rebounding have been insanely impressively
Beyond the friendship with Brunson, I said from the minute they made that trade that he was a PERFECT fit for a Thibs team like that. I went to a Knicks game with my BIL (a Knicks die hard) shortly after the trade and we spent a good chunk of the game marveling at Hart being EVERYWHERE. He's a glue guy but also fills up the stat sheet all over the place. He's become one of my favorite players in the league.

Its fairly common for Protestant churches to have a pastor's house on the property (every one I was ever a member of growing up and all others in the communities were the same), so I wonder if a similar solution would need to be developed. I'd think the salary is more palatable if you don't have housing costs involved.
Many parishes would have rectories that could be converted to a more family-friendly house.

Thanks for sharing that zcg. Great stuff.
I will say that it's probably too early to say that Shaka has proven "that a commitment to development and roster continuity works." Very small sample size so far, and the NIL/Freedom of Movement Era in major college sports is in its infancy.
We'll get a better idea once Shaka is operating with only his own recruits and college sports are a few more years into this experiment.
But as others have pointed out, this will be the final Covid year for athletes, and once that goes, the Shaka system could be even more attractive.
It's all gonna be real interesting to watch unfold. We Are Marquette!

nice valiant efforts here WsW but you're speaking to the hierarchy of "know it all" here. when they get all your propaganda from the lame stream, there is nothing else and real news takes a back seat as they have it ALL. this is why "journalism" is dead
btw, do cannibals like shrimp n grits? shoulda been a good follow-up question, if they are allowed
Says the guy who regurgitates Fox News...

I am very conflicted on my trust of Priests. While I am very disappointed in what has happened I really, really, really want to trust the words of a Priest. I guess I take the words with caution, but there definitely is comfort in their words. This is a struggle that I do not like having and try to find some level of trust. It really sucks that in mind that some guilt by association just won't go completely away.

All I know is that the number of people (both men and women) who would consider the priesthood if it weren't for the whole celibacy thing is greater than zero. If the church wants to survive, it needs to start considering its options.
I'm not disagreeing with you.

I don't think anyone is suggesting it's impossible. Just suggesting it's going to be a challenge to find young family men (or women) eager to work a full-time job and try to raise a family for compensation in the neighborhood of minimum wage. Even with a working spouse (and now you're talking about child care costs), there are plenty places where priests simply won't be able to afford living in the communities they serve. Tough raising a family anywhere on the North Shore on a priest's salary.
What you're more likely to see, IMO, is older people making a late-life career change after their kids have moved on and they've built up a bit of a nest egg. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
