Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
I think they had the highest wage bill in League Two so gonna start getting a lot tougher from here. But League One is a big deal. Start playing some decent sized clubs at that level. They might be able to retrench to get to the Championship by 2026. Yep. Who knows what they could accomplish? Ipswi...

Re: Up the Pool (or maybe just not Get Relegated)
Only one spot out of the playoffs for promotion. But, only two games remaining, and the team they have to catch, Oxford, leads by two points and has a game in hand.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Great question. And I agree that increasing the size of the court - and possibly the lane - would help. It's kind of wild to think about the size of players today compared to when the court size was decided. Obviously, there are logistical issues with increasing the size of courts at some older gym...

I don’t know why the Winklevosses think they are the first crypto team. League Two Crawley Town’s owners are clearly crypto tech bros.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
From the outside, it seems like a pretty smart hire. BYU finished with a better rating than Kentucky this year. Guess which team had better talent? And BYU plays that ultra-modern offense of a ton of threes and layups. I think they were #4 in the country in the % of their shots from the 3pt line. I...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Burns an Karlsson both essentially played rover. Elite offensively but always an adventure on defense. Vlasic never really filled that mold. He used to be an excellent defender, but he got old overnight, a couple years ago.

The problem in Phoenix was always the location of the arena, until they moved. Phoenix has traffic and it was a tough location. Now they play in that tiny facility, but at least they sell it out.

It is kind of shocking/amusing when you read about pitchers throwing extra-inning complete games in the olden days.

Graham’s pushing for a national abortion ban. Trump is positioning himself as in favor of the states doing it (which is just pre-election politics). Trump doesn’t like his butt-kissers not 100% endorsing whatever he says.

TurboTax has a free version. My daughter filed her taxes just now. And it was free. I was a bit surprised because she did earn reasonably good money (but was between jobs for awhile, so maybe that’s why it was free.)
