And Bueckers' responsibility on the play includes waiting for the pick to be set to help avoid getting a whistle.

Not trying to pick on her, just making the point that the cutter/ballhandler has a responsibility avoiding illegal screens, too.

I was hoping this was an announcement that the creepy online discussion of her in the last couple weeks was officially dead.

I wouldn't. Their recent series of ads was about the new iPhone, so unless there was a new phone from a different manufacturer coming out, there isn't much for a cell phone provider to advertise.

Didn't realize everyone was watching movies with their daughters yesterday when we had a matinee showing of "Say Anything", which doesn't have a dedicated Swamp movie thread (I popped out a couple times to check email, but nothing was going on). Talked with her for about 10 minutes this mo...

They closed schools for the day here because there is supposed to be just over one minute of full eclipse here that will coincide with our local elementary school releasing kids for buses and pick-up. Free glasses for our youngest, though (not sure about the middle school).

"Diggstown" is enjoyable.

And the lettering on the backs of the jerseys looks embarrassingly stupid.

Since the tournament shifted to having every game televised in its current manner, CBS has had an exclusive window for the first two games of the second round on both Saturday and Sunday.

The fundamental problem is that for-profit corporations exist to make profits for their shareholders. Their managers have a fiduciary duty to do so. Historically, hasn’t the (supposedly) ideologically neutral media been the exception rather than the rule? Yes, for privately owned media. The end of ...

I was worried no one would offer a scholarship, so I was almost more relieved than anything else. They brought him in with three different guys on the roster who kicked last year, so I expect he'll win the job. I hope Akron improves. I would like for him to play in more winning games over his four a...

I'm going to a friend's place in Connecticut for the weekend, as is another of our college friends (host's wife is out of town). I may get to watch it whether I want to or not.

And are we going to watch "Ambulance" at some point?

The review at the A/V Club was pretty rough.

People on the podcasts and twitters are saying that SF may be looking to deal one of their receivers before the draft and the Steelers are in the market and have some cap room maybe and I know Aiyuk is younger, but the idea of Deebo being on the Steelers gets me rock hard. My favorite non-Steeler b...

I'm starting to assume that the mainstream media is doing anything to talk up TGS's chances of keeping this closer than it will be solely for the clicks, because if this comes down to the sizes of the war chests , it's going to be a veritable ass-whupping. Unfortunately, all of his buffoonery bring...

My apologies to everyone who had to watch or even read about that mess. For some reason this particular uva team would occasionally show up to games with no interest in playing hard in offense. You could usually see it in the first few possessions, which was true last night. Ugh. They could probabl...

I am having a sustained panic attack. Like, for days and days. But otherwise ok. I had a nice 48+-hour meltdown last Wednesday through Friday (and the ripples are still there), so it happens to more people than you're aware of.

Remember that time we dedicated like 9 posts to Justin Fields Ten. Ian Rapoport tweeted Fields wanted to go to Pittsburgh, even after they signed Wilson. I imagine the mutual interest was not acted upon before Wilson came on the market because the Bears were asking for too much. I also imagine Pitt...

Prior to the combine, Atlanta and Pittsburgh were the two teams most frequently connected to Fields (I never bought the Raiders because the offense with Getsy stunk). Wilson had not been released by that point and many expected Minnesota to bring back Cousins and Tampa to bring back Mayfield (althou...

We want to do right by Justin. Seems like essentially sentencing him to backup quarterback status and contracts for the rest of his NFL career, or at least doing so during his peak playing years, is a strange way of doing that. Playing behind the husk of Russell Wilson seems like one of the better ...

Justin Fields to the Steelers for a 6th. Is he backing up Russ? Yes. The Bears traded him for a 2025 6th-rounder that can become a 4th-rounder based on playing time. It’s really fucking smart by Pittsburgh. They get to decline his 5th-year option, then work with him while he's on their bench for a ...

Justin Fields must be stoked to have two WR1's to throw to next season. Conversely, wtf are the Chargers doing? They’ve lost every decent weapon Herbert had. They were in cap hell and decided keeping Bosa was the bigger priority. Not hard to move on from the WR with a significant injury history who...

Seems like his stints in the NBA might've helped. I can't believe he's been at UH for 10 years. He does a great job recruiting to his style of play (not a great half-court offense, very aggressive defense, and pounding the offensive boards). That's not for everybody, particularly the first part. An...
