I love you, Dad
I view this as God calling a good man home. My father, the rock and North Star of my family, passed away last night. It was an amazing run of 85 years, and I'm blessed that I've had him as my dad for over 49 years. We had to make an excruciating decision to stop life-support, but I'm comforted that ...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
Detroit shatters NFL Draft attendance record and it’s hard to envision what city would be able to break it. It more than doubled Kansas City last year. ETA: It was kind of a perfect storm with the Lions being relevant and around 10 other teams’ fans being within a 7-hour drive but damn that was a s...

Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
In Rodgers’ defense, doesn’t every top of the top athlete have a massive ego? It seems like it’s necessary to have to get to the highest level. Even dudes like Gretzky probably thought all his teammates were trash at times; he just had the self-awareness to keep it to himself.

Re: MLB 2024
I really hope the next CBA the players address these shenanigans. Push the date to mid-season or so and put some pressure on teams to promote earlier in the season or risk keeping a better player out longer. Or maybe do what the NBA does and tie it to the awards. Like if they make an all-rookie team...

I suspect there’s something potentially disastrously scandalous coming down the pike. A top coach doesn’t just leave UK. If it’s money, I would think Cal has enough cachet to get them to match any offer.

Re: Holy fuck we just had an earthquake
I’m at my parents today in Southern Jersey, I didn’t feel a thing. If this turns out to be no real damage I’m going to be disappointed.
If it is damage, it’d be scary and potentially tragic, obviously. But if this knocks out my flight Sunday I guess I’m going on a road trip.

I don't know how closely the tournaments all work together, but if they set the NIT as an autobid for next year it would probably stop teams from backing out or not caring.
