Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 11:24:53 AMI think we should all rethink who Campbell is after this year. Great guy, tremendous leader. But he's not the brains of the operation.

Yeah, MLF out schemed and outcoached Campbell twice this year.

Is there any calculus for the Dodgers in this with respect to the CBA? Like surely a salary cap helps them too - pure profit if they are limited by rule. And if they keep making these absurdist moves that stretch the game to its limit, a cap becomes a move in self-preservation.

Or is this just a calculus of Dodgers money printer go brrrr

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:27:30 AMDidn't think much of any Bears between Lovie and BJ.  Kind of liked Lovie.

I have no problem calling out MLF for what he is.  A soft football coach who's at least going to look good while getting emasculated by guys like Dan Campbell and nerdy bully types like BJ.

Quote from: Shooter McGavin on Today at 09:04:38 AMDo they play good teams?  What is the boards fixation on St Thomas? 

Could MU players playing the same schedule as St Thomas be doing just as well?

Not sure about Janowski, but Minnessale (according to 3 Man Weave's Jim Root) is likely to be one of the biggest names in the portal. He's generally held his own against higher ranked competition (only SMC this year) and while he's an average three point shooter, his combination of at the rim finishing and shot creation is something this team could really use. It's always a gamble in how guys translate up. You hope for Creighton Baylor Scheierman but might get UNC Cade Tyson.

Minnessale is local and his family reportedly likes Marquette, so until he goes elsewhere, expect this rumor to keep its legs.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 10:38:50 AMAt what point do we need to look beyond recruiting rankings and realize that maybe Devin Askew wasn't a top 30 recruit after all.  He's going to be 24 years old, at his 5th school, and playing his 6th season of college basketball, and still coming off the bench for a bubble team. 

Yeah...mentioning Askew as the "#28 recruit for Villanova" is at best misleading. He is on his fifth school and was #28 in the 2020 class.

He doesn't belong in any conversation with Hodge, Lewis, or Jeffrey that have spent all their time at Nova.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 10:58:50 AMgreat comment from the St. John's board:

"What gambler needed to pay a player off to be comfortable that DePaul wouldn't cover? That's like paying for life insurance for someone who is already dead."

I have no idea why these guys are so incredibly stupid with how they go about it.  I would assume every text message I've ever sent isn't private.  And these guys are arranging serious crimes via text.  They may as well have announced what they were doing over the public address system at Wintrust.

It's just the stupidest thing you can do.

Quote from: Dish on January 15, 2026, 03:10:47 PMA lot of talk about the weather on Sunday in Chicago, but I don't think it will make a huge difference, with one exception.

The Rams special teams are awful, and I think if the Bears are going to win on Sunday, bad Rams special teams will play a big factor. Mevis is a rookie and kicking at Soldier Field on a cold and windy day in January is no joke. Their coverage units are not good and they're the only team in the NFL whose philosophy is to aim for touchbacks on every kickoff. I think if any unit is going to be impacted by the weather, it'll be the Rams ST unit.


I thought Bowles had the same Kickoff philosophy in Tampa?


 My son and i are driving up from TN to cheer them on. Ski goggles and cold weather gear in hand.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 10:31:38 AMEven with Brunson out, Kolek played only 11 minutes last night. Shamet was back and played 16 minutes as backup to McBride.

When Brunson returns soon, the Knicks simply will have too many small PGs for Kolek to see the court. Trade necessary.

He's been pretty bad the last week+ but the team still looks so much better with him in the game. Surprised they are totally freezing him out. The Knicks were clicking around Christmas with Kolek in the main rotation. Now they are fading in January.
