Glad the Canes play Michigan St. in football in 2020. Mark Dantonio will be a distant memory at that point.

What's more telling is that the NCAA president, Mark Emmert knew about all of this and did nothing. That guy needs to be fired, and now.

lol @Russ not knowing the alphabet.

LA schooling.

[Black Adam]

Open to it if it doesn't cost the Lakers too much

i'm not honestly...

Kuzma is fine there and i'd think Love's price tag'd be a bit too high...

Mother fuckers better get the death penalty.

Tried to give Izzo the benefit of the doubt, that he misspoke, and wasn't offering support for that parasitic pedo-phile Dr.

Sadly, He knew about all the r*pe allegations against Adrian Payne and the other guys on his team and just turned a blind eye.

So, Fuck him too.

Pittino got fired for lining guys pockets.

If the shit about Izzo is true, he has been aiding and abetting rapists or at the very least is guilty of collusion .

This is as bad as Penn State.

DEATH PENALTY

He still has years left on his deal.

Love s putting up 18 and almost 10.

But, is the 28th highest paid player in the NBA.

Parsons, Milsap, Blake, Melo, Howard, freaking Harrison Barnes all make more than him....lol

I bet he could be had for Randle and favorite Son , Nance Jr., this Summer or maybe a smidge more .

Although, Cavs want Clarkson who would work as well.

Eyez re-sent dat stay mint.

Really sucks about Boogie. NO was finally starting to figure out how to play with him and AD. If they could have nabbed a shooter or some other decent role player at the deadline, they could have been very intriguing. This throws everything out of whack now. Not only is NO's screwed, free agency is gonna have all kinds of ripple effects. Achilles tears are a year long injury so he's going to miss time next season. And lots of players are never the same afterwards either. He's still probably going to get the max, but I'd bet some teams that might have looked his way look elsewhere. He was already indicating he would stay with NO but I think that's a lot more likely now

6-10 months is what they are saying for Boogie.

After the Parsons debacle in Dallas and Memphis and Midget Isiah still being stir fried dogshit, what do you see as a market for this guy and after all the shit with Holiday, do you think the Pelicans will risk giving him a large deal while he's injured?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

If I'm putting homerism aside, no.

Should be George, Cp3, Lou, Booker in that order.

Since it's in LA, I think George or Lou will get it.....again, in that order.

As a backup plan......fuck yeah!!!!

Got my errands done....just have to swing by Triple A when they open and then go get hardshell beef tacos with rice and beans at a hole in the wall and watch college hoops all day.

The thing is, everyone was using. Bonds hit the HR to tie Aaron (#755) off a journeyman nobody named Clay Hensley who had, himself, been busted for using steroids. Put them in but mention the situation on the plaque. Bonds and Clemens were HOFers before they used, and then they were better than all the other users after. They won't be the first drug abusers in the Hall either.

Rose's transgressions were totally different, gambling is a fundamental assault on the competition that is sports. And anyway let him in after he's dead and the lifetime ban he agreed to is over.

These arguments have been had countless times, I'm sure you won't change your mind, but happily the tide is turning and Bonds and Clemens will get in in a couple years.

I'm not a fan of any player that cheated the game of baseball. And I disagree that "everyone" was using steroids during that era. Jim Thome is a perfect example.

FA center. Like Boogie. That's a squad.

 

[Wamu]

Agree to a point.

Shoeless Joe definitely needs to be put in. I'd like to see Pete eventually get in, but the dude bet on baseball. Then he lied about it forever.

I think all of the steroid guys should get in. Baseball was complicit in the use of steroids. They knew something fishy was going in, but did nothing about it because all of those home runs brought back the fans that had stopped watching because of the latest strike and the WS being cancelled because of it.

I don't think a Steroid Era wing is necessary, but it could be mentioned in their bio.

I also think steroids should be legal in professional sports. These are grown men and if that's what they want to do, they should be able to. They know the potential risks, so it's on them to decide if it's worth it or not.

I don't think steroids should be legal.

Boogie strikes me as the type to rehab like a FT job. Say, it's in the middle? 8 months?

Back in late September or early October.

He's putting up 18 and 10. At 30 (by time next season starts) I think he can get that back up to say 21-22ppg and 11-12rpg. He's got a good 2-3 years left as a strong player.

 

[Wamu]

Has anyone mentioned LeBron's awesome quadruple double last night?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Love got just 8 FGA's last night.....still in the doghouse.
