Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 05:48:05 PMI'll probably be seeing Max McNown in April. He used to attend my buddy's basketball camps in Oregon. My buddy comped him as McNown's brother had cancer, and they did a fundraiser for him at the camp. 

Wow, that is amazing. My wife really digs him. I actually bought the tickets without really knowing he is the opener! Apparently the show is Parker McCollum, but we will be there to see Max. We have had some real good luck over the years hearing an unknown/unknown ish opener, hoping this is the same.

So weird.

In the real world some CEOs get paid solely on performance. Should MU do that with the players? Also, some NBA, MLB and NFL players get paid to not even play.

Nope, CEOs is more posturing, I mean I helped take down who is currently the country's CEO in the 90's and he got rehabilitated by a fake "reality" show and book.....

The Mariners with a nice move, landing Brendan Donovan in a deal that didn't cost them any of their top prospects.

Just the latest dump from the Cardinals, who obviously are in serious rebuilding mode.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 02:18:13 PMThe most interesting OC hire was by Ravens; defensive HC hiring a 29 year old with no play calling experience. Declan may be a genius, but it is a major risk to turn everything over to a young and inexperienced guy. Sorta has the feel of when the Raiders hired a young Mike Shanahan.

Wasn't Shanahan way more experienced?  He was the OC for a top 10 Florida team and then spent a couple years with Reeves in Denver, including being the OC for back to back SB teams.  And like 6-7 years older than Doyle, besides almost a decade more coordinator experience.

It seems like Doyle did well with Johnson and is respected/interviewed well.  But it seems like the "genius by association" trend in hyper drive.  He spent time under Sean Payton and Ben Johnson...BOOM WONDERBOY.

I'm still hoping they will be at Summerfest - they have a show in Waukegan on June 20 and then nothing for the next couple weeks.

AVVT/Patton, super stoked. I've seen the a ton of times, one of my favorite bands for a bit now.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on Today at 12:21:52 PMIt didn't help Wojo.

The players are technically not employees, but are being compensated via NIL/ Revenue Sharing. Even if they are not cutting it, you are still OK with them staying? If the entire '26 class is a bust, your OK with Shaka keeping them on for the next 3 years? If the '27 class is a bust will keep them too?

In the real world performance matters.

Not really...

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 07:03:17 PMLove that LeBron has to enter his name into trade deadline discussions. As if anybody was trying to get him, all his drama, and his $51MM salary. "LBJ expects to stay with the Lakers through the end of the season." Thanks LeBron. Literally nobody was discussing you in trade possibilities.

Bronny hasn't made any sort of leap in year 2, still not replacement level.  Bryce is getting redshirted at Zona cause he's nowhere near the level of their other recruits/freshmen.  LBJ realizes he needs more fuel to keep his/his family's name in the news.  He's gonna have his "will he/won't he" buzz being pushed into overdrive from now well into the summer.

And I agree with WT, its largely harmless.  Its just so blatantly transparent, silly, and borderline pathetic.
