Is this good news for Packer fans? I seem to recall a lot of criticism of the STs.

Quote from: wadesworld on February 17, 2026, 07:01:54 PMWhy is tanking an issue? It's also not really fixing bad teams, so it's just hurting their businesses. Look at who the bad teams have been. Not many go from bad to good. Bad teams are usually staying bad for a long time. Pels, Nets, Hornets, Wizards, Portland, Utah, Sacramento. If they want to keep tanking, let them. Just hurting themselves.
NBA/NFL/NHL owners and GMs would disagree with you. There are data points to support the tanking strategy. Not a guaranty to success (hmmm maybe like transfer portal players), but higher daft picks hit at a higher rate. Maybe not dramatically higher rates, but sometimes these teams are forced to work in the margins to gain any advantage possible.

If tanking for higher draft picks doesn't provide an advantage, why haven't the leagues gone to just picking in alphabetical order?

Sort of like MU final shots this year. Whoops.... But great game to watch

Glad Shaka said he will "evolve" with portal.

NOVA with 5 starters consisting of four portals and a Top 20 recruit.
X with 5 starters consisting of five portals.
