2 is still less than 3 though, right?

(I kid. But BC and BU have been pretty dominant all season so (a decent chunk) of the college hockey world was hoping for BU and BC in the final.

BU upset. Hopefully the other Boston team goes down tonight.

VGK signs Hanifin to an 8-year extension. $7.35M AAV That's a pretty good contract for Vegas. The Flames keeping him with that contract would have just been the wrong move. They would have gone nowhere had they extended Hanifin (and the others). The Flames needed to start rebuilding, and thankfully...

Not gonna lie. Kind of going to miss the random pics of Facebook friends posting selfies with OJ in downtown Summerlin.

Apparently they may not wait. After two decades of this bullshit you’d think they could wait another two months. I feel bad for Yotes fans and there are a lot more than you’d think. Muerelo might finally be done bleeding money and realizes a team-financed $1 billion arena project isn’t as sweet as ...

Let's age ourselves, where were you when the verdict came down. Being the old guy here, I was well into my working life. I don’t know where I was for the verdict, but for the slow-motion Bronco chase, I recall it was a Friday, post-work hours, and I was having drinks with work friends at a Palo Alt...

I mean, he’s not wrong.

Junior year of college in the student union with like 250 other students.

Believe it or not Robert Horry in 1996.

Here’s a stat.

Games with 5+ REB, AST, BLK and 3PT FG made:

Victor Wembanyama - 2
Everyone else in the history of the NBA combined - 1

Biden clearly to blame.

Knowing that (1) the pitch clock isn’t going away and (2) pitchers will never voluntarily ramp it down, I’m increasingly convinced 3 pitch walks is the solve. I don’t know about the latter but you’re absolutely right about the first two. The (literal) payoff to be able to defeat the best hitters in...

To change the subject I love all the hand-wringing about pitcher injuries where the fact that the trend of velocity and spin rate being the two most important factors in shutting down hitters are also what can turn your UCL into an udon noodle with one pitch.

Griffey Jr and Sr played on the same team.

Good stuff. I agree the Lions might very well take an OL in the first. Ragnow is only 28 but is already beat to shit and thinking about retirement and Decker is 31 and in the same boat. With the addition of Zeitler (also possible to retire/leave soon) the Lions might have the best OL in the NFL but ...

Scheffler.

I enjoy watching Edey play - total throwback. Hope he lands somewhere in the NBA where he can settle in at 20 minutes a game off the bench and have a long long career. Why didn’t Painter go to the portal to sign a big to play 15 minutes a game? They ran Edey like a freakin mule this year. I get tha...

I’m fine with it. They call too many fouls in CBB as it is. Should be reffed more like the NBA.

I didn’t know that either and never would have guessed it.

I'm not saying he can't be funny, but I don't see him as Drebin. The genius of Nielsen is that he took himself too seriously while being a lowkey buffoon. Kind of Peter Sellers-esque. I just don't see Liam being able to have that undercurrent of buffoonery. That scene in the posted clip kind of pro...

This is probably a mutually beneficial move. Cal may not have “it” anymore and Kentucky will have its choice of coaches to replace him.

Calipari leaving Kentucky for Arkansas. Wow.

(Yes, you read all of that correctly.)

Dude made a 62-yarder yesterday. He’s going to get a shot in the NFL in the fall.

Didn’t UVA win the national title the next year after losing to a 16 seed?

Barclay Goodrow has doubled his goals for the season in less than 20 minutes of game time.

What if they immediately got really good?

Not about teams relocating.

Looks like the A’s will now be the last psychedelic band from Sacto, Northern Cal Nice reference. And like most Triple A stadiums, it’s better than the Coliseum.

Been driving through Illinois and Missouri for last four days and there is eclipse-related stuff everywhere. Just caught a load west and frankly kind of glad I’m not going to be driving around here at the time this is going on.

I imagine he does. I imagine he cares about Israeli kids as well. Being President doesn’t give you magical powers that allow you to sprinkle fairy dust on a thousand-year conflict and resolve it to everyone’s satisfaction however.

No, Biden hate kids especially Palestineans. Mr D cracked the case.

Texans might be decent next year. I’ll take a WR crew of Diggs, Collins, and Dell! I like maximizing their title chances under Stroud’s rookie deal but have to be careful not to give away too much draft capital or future cap flexibility. To be clear I don’t think they’re there yet but when his deal...

I’ve seen more MAGA signs in rural Illinois and Missouri than the rest of the country combined.

Michigan has made the College Football Playoff and Frozen Four the last three years. No other school has ever done it.

Michigan the only non-#1 seed to advance to the Frozen Four.

Michigan-BC and BU-Denver in two weeks.

Not every team can be as dominant as the Pirates and Tigers.
